Senior Living in Atlanta
All three Overture communities, Overture Buckhead South, Overture Powers Ferry and Overture Barrett boast easy access to Atlanta and its vast and varied assortment of dining, shopping, culture and entertainment. But each location has its own appeal.
Overture Buckhead South
Buckhead, Atlanta’s uptown commercial and residential district is often referred to as the Beverly Hills of Georgia. It’s no coincidence that Overture chose this prime location for one of its premier 55+ apartment communities. Buckhead offers the tranquility of a lovely suburban residence within a stone’s throw from all the vibrant excitement of the city. But you don’t have to go into the city for fun and relaxation.
Things to do in Buckhead
- Chastain Memorial Park
With 260 acres of jogging paths, playgrounds, tennis courts, a golf course, swimming pool, equestrian center and amphitheater, Chastain Park is a hub of activity and entertainment.
- Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza
Whether you are looking to do some serious retail damage or just grab a bite with your Overture buddies, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza are people magnets, the place to see and be seen in Buckhead.
- Legoland Discovery Center
Your grandkids may have never heard of Buckhead, but once you take them to visit Legoland, they will be Buckhead fans for sure. They will love the 4D cinema, interactive rides, a build and test center for cars and a Master Builder Academy where visitors can learn from the experts. Legoland is really fun with the kids – and really fun without them.
Overture Powers Ferry
Overture Powers Ferry is perfectly located near the Battery, a popular development surrounding the Atlanta Braves baseball stadium. This premier 55+ community provides easy access to Interstate 75 and is only minutes from Cumberland Mall, a major dining, shopping and entertainment hub.
