Ellard is a partially gated community along the Chattahoochee River
Right over the Roswell city line and tucked into a bend of the Chattahoochee River is Ellard, a partially gated residential community with custom estates and riverfront amenities. “It’s an escape,” says Realtor Teri Frye of Mosaic Real Estate Marketing Services. She’s sold homes across the region for over 30 years. “It offers so much, with tree-lined streets, brick sidewalks and plenty of green space and common areas. It’s just so pretty.” The neighborhood’s architecture is arguably its biggest draw, with homes designed to emulate buildings from historic Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern America. Its location offers direct access to shopping and restaurants, and with the river nearby, kayaking and fishing. Plus, according to Frye, it’s conveniently located. “Just where it sits, you can get to Dunwoody, Alpharetta and downtown Roswell easily,” Frye says.
Large homes with historic architectural influences
Ellard’s single-family homes are mainly custom-built with Charlestonian, Italianate, and Victorian architectural influences. Many homes feature tall columns, wide verandas and finely landscaped yards, and several residents adorn their backyards with in-ground pools and intricately built patios. Homes here are especially noteworthy for their size, measuring 5,000 to 10,000 square feet, and selling for prices between $1.4 million and $2.2 million. Several homes sit on two-acre lots that overlook the Chattahoochee River, while inland lots measure from a quarter-acre to a full acre. Ellard townhomes typically measure over 2,500 square feet and list from $700,000 to $900,000. Outside the Ellard gates in the Riverside Summit subdivision, townhomes list from $400,000 to $500,000. Avana Woods apartments offer one to three-bedroom floor plans for rent.
