The Reserve at Bells Ferry

The Reserve at Bells Ferry is Brock Built's flagship 55+ active adult community in Kennesaw, Georgia, tucked into the intersection of I-575 and Bells Ferry Road in North Cobb County. When complete, the neighborhood will include roughly 130 single-family ranch homes built between 2022 and 2025, designed specifically for buyers who want a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle without sacrificing style or location. Homes range from 1,618 to 2,690 square feet with two to four bedrooms, two to three baths, attached two-car garages, and covered patios. Four signature floor plans — the Florence, Naples, Venice, and Milan — anchor the community, each featuring single-level living with primary suites on the main level, 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot interior doors, wide hallways, and open-concept layouts. Several plans offer optional second-floor flex space for guests, hobbies, or home offices. Kitchens come with stainless-steel appliances, gas cooktops, vent hoods, and walk-in pantries, while owner's suites feature dual vanities and oversized showers. Exteriors blend Craftsman, Traditional, and Modern elevations among lush landscaping. Recent sales have ranged from around $500,000 to $687,000, with a median near $625,000. Rather than building a traditional clubhouse, Brock Built leaned into outdoor-focused amenities that fit the neighborhood's intimate scale. Residents gather at the covered pavilion with its outdoor fireplace, TVs, prep station, and grilling area; play on four dedicated pickleball courts; walk scenic trails; and meet up at the dog park. The formal community garden is a standout — individually reservable raised beds let green-thumbed residents grow their own herbs and vegetables with a nearby prep station for washing and processing the harvest. A monthly HOA of $250 covers lawn care, grounds maintenance, trash pickup, and reserve funding, with a one-time $1,800 initiation fee. Location is a major draw. Downtown Woodstock is about 10 minutes away via the expressway, putting residents within easy reach of boutiques, breweries, galleries, live music, and a packed festival calendar. East Cobb and Marietta are a short drive, and the surrounding area offers more than 6,000 retail and dining options. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is 22 minutes out for hiking and scenic views, with Noonday Creek Trail, Swift Cantrell Park, and Big Shanty Park all closer. Grocery options include Publix, Kroger, and Whole Foods, and healthcare is handled by WellStar Kennestone Hospital, Northside Hospital, and the Kaiser Permanente office on Townpark Lane. The community falls within the Cobb County School District — relevant mainly for visiting grandkids or resale value. Atlanta is roughly an hour south, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about an hour and ten minutes away, making travel planning straightforward.
