The Orchards of Park Ridge — 2026 Buyer’s Guide

What Is The Orchards of Park Ridge?

The Orchards of Park Ridge is an Orchards Group gated community of 110 ranch condo homesites in Buford, built between 2015 and 2018. Located 2 miles from I-85 Exit 120 — directly adjacent to Mall of Georgia and within 10 minutes of all the retail, medical, and entertainment that the Exit 120 corridor provides.

Every home includes a screen porch and convenient partially finished storage room as standard — unusual inclusions that reflect The Orchards Group’s attention to what active adults actually use. Optional finished bonus rooms and baths allow customization. HOA covers exterior building maintenance including roof — standard Orchards Group comprehensive coverage.

The Screen Porch Inclusion

Most builders charge $10,000–$20,000 for a screen porch as an option. The Orchards of Park Ridge includes it standard. For buyers who value outdoor living — reading on the porch, morning coffee without mosquitoes — this is meaningful built-in value that comparable communities charge extra for or do not offer at all.

Location: I-85 Exit 120

The I-85 and Hamilton Mill Road interchange is one of northeast Atlanta’s most complete retail corridors. Mall of Georgia (one of the South’s largest regional malls), Bass Pro Shops, Costco, restaurants, medical offices, and the Northeast Georgia Medical Center satellite campus are all within minutes.
