When approaching a certain age, it can be difficult to find an affordable senior living community that provides hassle-free living and a sense of independence. While assisted living facilities and nursing homes are a viable option for many senior citizens, there are some who simply want a simpler lifestyle in a smaller residence that requires less maintenance at an affordable rate. The Hammocks at East Cobb is a 78-unit apartment community for age 55+ senior residents that allows tenants to live independently without having to manage all the usual tasks that come with being a homeowner. With 24/7 maintenance on call and up-to-date renovations and appliances included in each unit, the Hammocks is set to provide a unique alternative to residents entering their golden years.
The Hammocks at East Cobb is redefining senior living. Model homes now available for tour! Experience the ease and comfort of The Hammocks at East Cobb before its grand opening this August.
“There are so many senior living communities…but there’s no affordable option for an empty nester. You have townhomes that are at least a million dollars, and that is about it,” said Heather Marinko, the CEO and Founder of Aponi Management, who are currently responsible for managing the property. “The idea is filling a gap and proving housing needs for adults that want a simpler, hassle-free lifestyle.”
Along with all the necessary appliances including a refrigerator, washer/dryer, stovetop oven, microwave, and more, residents can enjoy several luxury amenities within the complex. These include a fitness center, bistro, office/working spaces, fire pit, mini golf green, grilling and barbecue area, yoga lawn, and salon within walking distance of each apartment. Along with the apartments are six cottage homes set to break ground along Johnson Ferry Road. And with apartments starting at $1,800 per month, senior residents can enjoy their privacy and independence at a financial rate they can afford without the stress that comes with maintaining a larger property.
“These tenants can be fully independent but not have to worry about changing air filters, mow a lawn, or repaint. All those things that homeowners go through on a daily basis,” Marinko said. “I’m super excited to be involved with this project. My family and I have lived in East Cobb for 12 years. I think [The Hammocks at East Cobb] is perfect for my dad. I think it’s a way for him to meet people and have that independent living while still remaining close to us.”
The upcoming community is set to open in early August later this year. However, those interested in seeing the apartments themselves can now schedule an in-person tour of the property and the completed model homes.

“I have received great feedback from local realtors… they’re excited about it,” Marinko said. “The people that have toured the property are also excited. It’s a unique opportunity in the heart of East Cobb.”
