Atlanta-based NorSouth Development Company has broken ground on HearthSide Johns Creek, the city’s first affordable senior living community. The $13.7 million rental facility of 90 apartments is reserved for independent seniors 62 and older. NorSouth will manage the property.

HearthSide is part of Johns Creek Walk mixed-use development. Designed to evoke a historic small town, the walkable, master-planned town, located off of Medlock Bridge Road, includes an old-fashioned Main Street with shops, restaurants and businesses.
