In the late 70's, Mobil Land Development, an offshoot of the oil company, eyed north Fulton County as the perfect site for a "master plan community", an exclusive subdivision and office park carved out of 3,400 acres of former farm land on the east side of Georgia 400. In the 1940's, 50's and 60's cotton was being raised on this very land.
The company, which also developed the Washington, D.C., suburb and high tech business center of Reston, Va., from the ground up, built Windward Parkway around 1980, began filling up the 195 acre private Lake Windward and prepared to break ground on its first 2,400 planned homes. At the time, Alpharetta contained about 3,000 residents. Alpharetta's current population exceeds 36,000.
Windward is a unique community in Alpharetta, Georgia where people can live, work and play in the same spectacular environment. Located close to Georgia 400 and a convenient 20 mile drive to I-285, Windward is a 3,400 acre, planned, mixed-use development.
With more than 20 distinct neighborhoods, Windward is a mix of home styles and price ranges (from the upper $200's to over $2 million) that accommodate various lifestyles and preferences. Exclusive Windward offers both gated and non-gated distinguished, executive home communities. Over 2400 families call Windward home. There are also many business parks within Windward, making it possible for some families to work close to home and then golf, fish or boat in the afternoons or evenings.
Families can enjoy the best of recreation on the 195 acre private Lake Windward. This sparkling lake has a marina, dock and boat storage area and is adjacent to the Windward Lake Club. Members of this private club can enjoy a tennis center with 16 courts, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and kiddie pool. Additional neighborhood amenities include areas for soccer, as well as softball and football fields within the Windward Sports Park.
The finest jewel in Windward's crown is the Golf Club of Georgia, a private membership 36 hole golf course. The project of Fuji Development USA Limited was named the "Best New Private Course in the United States" by Golf Digest. Distinguished, exclusive homes are also available surrounding the golf course. Known as The Neighborhoods at The Golf Club of Georgia, three of these exquisite communities are wrapped around the course, offering estate living at its finest. The Northshore borders the 195 acre Lake Windward and overlooks the Lakeside golf course, featuring a gated entrance and custom homes priced from $500,000 to $850,000. The Enclave is also a gated community that offers exclusive homes from $750,000 to $1,400,000. The Peninsula consists of waterfront and golf-oriented private estates. Residents of all three of these exclusive neighborhoods enjoy their own private swim and tennis clubs.
