Overview
Macland Square is a gated 55+ active adult community of 44 single-story ranch patio homes in Marietta, Georgia. Nestled off Macland Road near Powder Springs Road in the West Cobb corridor, this intimate community was built between 2003 and 2006 and offers the rare combination of new-millennium construction quality, maintenance-free single-level living, resort-style amenities, and a walkable location adjacent to a Publix shopping center. The gated entrance, professional HOA management, and small community scale create a close-knit neighborhood where residents enjoy both privacy and a genuine sense of community.
Architecture and Design
Macland Square's homes are ranch-style patio residences designed specifically for active adult living. Every home is single-story with step-free access throughout, attached two-car garages, and thoughtful floor plans that prioritize main-level master suites, open living areas, and accessible design. Exteriors feature a mix of brick and siding with covered front porches, pitched rooflines, and mature landscaping that gives the community a warm, established character. The site plan is organized around a single loop street (Macland Square Drive) with the clubhouse, pool, and fitness center centrally located for easy resident access.
Residences
Homes in Macland Square range from approximately 1,700 to 2,200 square feet, with two to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and attached two-car garages. Floor plans are designed for comfortable downsizing: generous enough for entertaining and accommodating guests, but compact enough for low-maintenance daily living. Standard features include open kitchens, spacious master suites, and well-proportioned secondary bedrooms. Many owners have personalized their homes with upgrades such as hardwood flooring, granite or quartz countertops, updated fixtures, and screened porches or sunrooms that extend the living space outdoors.
Amenities
Macland Square's amenity package punches above its weight for a community of just 44 homes. A clubhouse serves as the social hub for gatherings, meetings, and community events. A fitness center provides exercise equipment for residents who prefer to work out close to home. The swimming pool offers relaxation and recreation during the warmer months. The gated entrance provides a defined sense of arrival. The HOA covers an unusually comprehensive package of services: exterior building maintenance, water, sewer, trash removal, and termite service, allowing residents to enjoy a truly carefree lifestyle focused on the activities they love rather than the chores they do not.
Location and Lifestyle
Dining and Retail Nearby
One of Macland Square's most appealing features is its walkable access to the adjacent Publix Shopping Center via a private road. This means everyday grocery runs, pharmacy visits, and casual dining are just steps from home. Beyond the immediate shopping center, Barrett Parkway, one of Cobb County's major retail corridors, is minutes away with department stores, restaurants, specialty shops, and entertainment options. The Town Center at Cobb and additional big-box retail are a short drive further east.
The Lifestyle
Macland Square sits in one of West Cobb's most appealing corridors for outdoor recreation. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, with its hiking trails, history, and panoramic views, is nearby. The Silver Comet Trail, a paved multi-use path stretching over 60 miles from Smyrna to the Alabama state line, is accessible for walking, cycling, and running. Commuters benefit from proximity to I-75, the East-West Connector, and Barrett Parkway, connecting to Marietta Square, Cumberland and Galleria, and the broader metro Atlanta freeway network. Medical facilities, including WellStar Kennestone Hospital, are close at hand. Macland Square appeals to active adults aged 55 and older who want the space and quality of a ranch home, the convenience of maintenance-free living, and the security of a gated community, all in a location that keeps shopping, dining, healthcare, and outdoor recreation within easy reach.
