Duct Cleaning in Mableton, GA

MABELTON, GA - Vista Residential Partners announced the financing close and groundbreaking of Mill Grove Vista, a three-story, 304-unit Class A, garden-style apartment community at 5178 Floyd Road in Mableton, Georgia. The multifamily development sits at the heart of a forthcoming 23.6-acre mixed-use development that will introduce a civic building, townhomes, and neighborhood-serving retail along Floyd Road, complementing the historic Mable House complex and the 2,500-seat Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre directly across the street.

Residents will enjoy immediate access to everyday conveniences and outdoor recreation, including the Silver Comet Trail's Floyd Road Trailhead, multiple grocery options within one mile, and swift connectivity via Veterans Memorial Highway, the East-West Connector, and I-20.

"Mill Grove Vista reflects Vista's commitment to building in walkable, well-amenitized locations where new supply is limited and everyday living is made easier," said Chase Beasley, Managing Director, Southeast Regional Partner at Vista. "We're proud to help anchor this civic-oriented master plan in Georgia's newest city."

The community will feature twelve residential buildings and 546 parking spaces, offering an expansive fitness center, resort-style pool, clubroom with coffee bar, co-working spaces, secure parcel room, dog park, and playground. Interiors will include stainless steel appliances, luxury countertops and islands, vinyl plank flooring, and open, efficient layouts. Average home size will be 917 square feet, with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences.

The development comes via partnership with Virtus Real Estate Capital and financing via Nationwide. Apex Multifamily Construction, a Vista affiliate, will serve as general contractor.

"We are excited to collaborate with both Virtus and Nationwide to provide a community which will truly become the focal point of the largest city in Cobb County. From the Silver Comet Trail to daily conveniences on Floyd Road, Mill Grove Vista is designed for how residents actually live—healthy, connected, and close to everything," added Scott Henley, CEO Vista Residential Partners.

Vertical construction is expected to commence Q1 of 2026, with first residences expected to deliver in early 2027 and full completion targeted for late 2027.

MABLETON, Ga. — Some voters say it was literally an uphill climb trying to cast their ballot at one polling location in the last election.

Voters in Mableton, Cobb County faced significant challenges during the last election from traffic congestion, limited parking and a steep hill at the Thompson Park Community Center polling location.

Voters said it shouldn’t be this hard to vote.

Channel 2’s Tom Jones reported from Mableton where election officials admit they could have done better.

The difficulties arose from having two precincts vote at the same location, which led to long lines and disruptions.

Cobb Elections acknowledged the issues and stated that higher turnout contributed to the congestion.

“Finding a place to park was the worst,” said Octavia Thompson, a voter who experienced the chaos firsthand.

Cobb County Chairwoman Lisa Cupid noted, “I’m sure this is a disruption for those who’ve had to move around.”

She said she had to stand in long lines like everyone else.

Thompson described the parking situation as a nightmare: “I parked in the park so I have to figure out where I parked exactly, by some playground. I don’t know. I’ll find it eventually.”

Traffic was heavily backed up, and Thompson observed several near-accidents as drivers navigated the crowded area.

Some voters were confused about the location of the polling place, with one voter expressing inconvenience over the steep hill they had to climb to cast their vote.

Lisa Cupid, Cobb County Chairwoman, also experienced the long lines and attributed part of the problem to the consolidation of two precincts at the Thompson Park Community Center.

Cobb Elections attempted to mitigate the situation by sending extra personnel, adding officers to direct traffic, and providing additional voting equipment, but these measures were insufficient to handle the congestion.

Thompson expressed frustration, stating, “This should never happen again. This looks like lack of planning.”

MABLETON, Ga. - When government benefits were delayed by the ongoing shutdown, one Cobb County woman decided to do something about it by feeding her neighbors herself.

What they're saying:

Business owner Cheri Bailey says she knows exactly what it’s like to depend on food assistance. "Born and raised in public housing, we grew up on food stamps. Without food stamps, we probably would not have eaten," Bailey said.

So when she learned that many in her community were struggling to buy groceries, she decided to step up. "I think all of us are waiting for organizations to do something, but I think that each one of us, if we step in and do things like this, nobody will go hungry," Bailey said.

Bailey announced on social media that she planned to cook dinner for 300 people and invited anyone who needed a meal with no questions asked. Denise and Bryan Perry soon offered the Mableton Banquet Hall as the venue.

"I do outreach ministry at my church, so it’s near and dear to my heart," said Denise Perry.

"Knowing a lot of recipients and know how they utilize these funds to take care of themselves, I definitely wanted to help all I could," added Bryan Perry.

The free community dinner was held on Wednesday night, welcoming anyone who stopped by for a hot meal. "We don’t want your email address. This is not for marketing. This is not for hype. This is to feed people. I think it’s time for us to start taking care of each other. And if we do that, then the world will change," Bailey said.

What's next:

Bailey says this was just the beginning. She’s already planning more free community dinners in the coming weeks, adding, "When the system fails, love steps in."

For Cobb County’s newest and largest city, a key step toward creating a civic identity is officially moving forward this week, according to project leaders.

Spread across 12 buildings, a three-story, 304-unit, garden-style apartment project called Mill Grove Vista has closed financing and broken ground at 5178 Floyd Road in Mableton, near the southernmost reaches of Cobb County.

Currently wooded acreage, the development site will become the residential heart of a new Mableton mixed-use district spanning almost 24 acres, with a civic building, townhomes, and retail also in the mix. The city’s goal is to complement the nearby historic Mable House complex and 2,500-seat Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre, situated directly across the street.

Mill Grove Vista marks the latest Class A apartment venture from Vista Residential Partners, an Atlanta-based firm with projects dotted in growth markets across the country.

Plans call for a dozen buildings set among 546 parking spaces, with onsite amenities that include coworking space, a dog park, playground, coffee bar, fitness center, and pool area described as resort-style. Another perk will be immediate access to the Silver Comet Trail's Floyd Road Trailhead near the property entrance and multiple grocery options within a mile, per developers.

Average unit sizes at Mill Grove Vista will be 917 square feet, ranging from one to three-bedroom options.

Voters in 2022 elected to incorporate Mableton as Georgia’s newest city (now behind only Mulberry in Gwinnett County), following a lengthy process of town hall meetings and years of planning.

Other partners in the Mill Grove Vista project include Virtus Real Estate Capital and Nationwide financing. Vista affiliate Apex Multifamily Construction will serve as general contractor.

Vista officials say vertical construction will begin in the first quarter of next year. The first apartments are scheduled to deliver in early 2027, followed by completion in late 2027.

The project will “provide a community which will truly become the focal point of the largest city in Cobb County,” said Scott Henley, CEO of Vista Residential Partners, in an announcement. “From the Silver Comet Trail to daily conveniences on Floyd Road, Mill Grove Vista is designed for how residents actually live—healthy, connected, and close to everything.”
