Dogwood Park: Powder Springs' Hidden Gem Near the Silver Comet Trail

I've watched Dogwood Park become one of Powder Springs' most sought-after neighborhoods, and honestly, I understand why. This intimate community of just 61 homes offers something rare—a peaceful, wooded setting with direct access to outdoor recreation, all without breaking the bank. Homes here typically range from the low $200s to the high $200s, making it an accessible option in today's market.

What sets Dogwood Park apart is its location. You're less than half a mile from the Silver Comet Trail, one of Georgia's premier recreational trails. That means weekend bike rides, evening walks, or morning jogs are literally minutes from your front door. Add in the community's own private park, lake, and dog park, and you've got a lifestyle built around outdoor living.

Built between 2013 and 2014 by Kerley Family Homes, these traditional and ranch-style homes come with thoughtful features—granite countertops, walk-in pantries, kitchen islands, and vaulted ceilings. The split-bedroom floor plans give you privacy, and many homes feature stone and vinyl finishes that add curb appeal.

What You'll Find in Dogwood Park

Most homes offer 3-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms across approximately 2,200 square feet. The floor plans emphasize practicality—split-bedroom layouts provide separation between the primary suite and secondary bedrooms, which is great whether you have kids, need a home office, or want guest privacy.

Inside, you'll find builder upgrades that were standard when these homes were constructed: granite countertops in kitchens, walk-in pantries, center islands, hardwood flooring in main living areas, and vaulted ceilings in primary bedrooms. Many homes also feature masonry fireplaces and stainless steel appliance packages.

The lots here vary but typically sit on quarter-acre parcels with fully sodded yards. Foundation types include both slab and crawl space construction, with some homes offering finished basements.

The HOA Advantage: At just $405 annually (that's about $34/month), you gain access to a private residents-only park, a stocked lake, and a dedicated dog park. Plus, the HOA maintains all common areas including landscaping at the entrance and along neighborhood streets.

Location & Lifestyle

Dogwood Park sits just off Powder Springs Road in the 30127 ZIP code, putting you in a sweet spot for West Cobb County living. The neighborhood feels secluded thanks to its wooded setting, but you're never far from what you need.

The real draw here is outdoor access. The Silver Comet Trail entrance is 0.4 miles away—a quick walk or bike ride. This 61-mile paved trail stretches through Cobb, Paulding, and Polk counties and attracts walkers, runners, cyclists, and even horseback riders. Having this in your backyard changes your lifestyle.

Beyond the trail, Wild Horse Creek Park is nearby with 53 acres of sports fields, tennis courts, and the Ron Anderson Recreation Center. For shopping and dining, you've got options: Arbor Place Mall, Cumberland Mall, Town Center at Cobb, and The Avenue West Cobb are all within a 15-20 minute drive.

Commuters appreciate the access to major routes. Dallas Highway (Hwy 120) and Powder Springs Road connect you to I-20, I-285, and the wider metro Atlanta area. Downtown Atlanta is about 30 minutes away in normal traffic, and you're 20 minutes from Marietta's historic square and the Vinings/Smyrna corridor.

I often hear from buyers who are drawn to this area because it offers affordable Powder Springs living without sacrificing access to employment centers in Atlanta, Marietta, or West Cobb. It's a community that appeals to a range of buyers—whether you work from home and want space, commute into the city, or are downsizing from a larger property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dogwood Park

What's the average price for a home in Dogwood Park?

Homes in Dogwood Park typically sell in the $220,000 to $280,000 range depending on size, condition, and updates. The price per square foot averages around $110-$120. Given the location near the Silver Comet Trail and the low HOA fees, these prices remain competitive compared to other Powder Springs neighborhoods.

What are the HOA fees and what do they cover?

The HOA fee is $405 annually (about $34/month). This covers maintenance of common areas including the entrance landscaping, neighborhood streets, the residents-only park, the stocked lake, and the dog park. It's one of the lowest HOA fees you'll find for a neighborhood with dedicated amenities.

Are the schools good in this area?

Dogwood Park is served by Cobb County Schools, including Varner Elementary, Lovinggood Middle, and McEachern High School. Varner Elementary receives particularly strong feedback from parents for its teachers and programs. As always, I recommend visiting my complete schools guide and touring the schools yourself to see if they're the right fit. School zoning can change, so verify current assignments with Cobb County Schools.

How old are the homes in Dogwood Park?

Dogwood Park was built between 2013 and 2014 by Kerley Family Homes. This means the homes are now 10-11 years old—old enough to be established but young enough that major systems (HVAC, roofs, appliances) should still have life left. Many homes came with 2/10 warranties covering structure and major components.

How quickly do homes sell in Dogwood Park?

Because Dogwood Park is a small community with only 61 homes, inventory is limited. When homes do come on the market, they typically sell within 20-30 days if priced correctly. If you're interested in this neighborhood, I recommend setting up alerts so you're notified the moment a home becomes available. Call me at 404-747-4661 and I'll make sure you're first in line.

What makes Dogwood Park different from other Powder Springs neighborhoods?

The combination of proximity to the Silver Comet Trail (just 0.4 miles), very low HOA fees, and private amenities like the lake and dog park sets it apart. You're getting outdoor access typically reserved for more expensive communities at a fraction of the cost. Plus, the neighborhood's small size (61 homes) creates a tight-knit feel that larger subdivisions can't replicate.

Can you help me sell my home in Dogwood Park?

Absolutely. I specialize in selling homes in Powder Springs and know how to position Dogwood Park properties to attract serious buyers. The key is emphasizing the Silver Comet Trail access, the low HOA fees, and the quality construction.
