As Evans, Georgia continues to grow, one of the most talked-about proposed developments is Cedar Vale, a thoughtfully planned community expected to take shape near Bartram Ridge and Bartram Trail. With its focus on low-maintenance living, walkability, and access to some of the area’s most loved amenities, Cedar Vale is already drawing interest from locals and future homebuyers.

If you’re searching for updates on new neighborhoods in Evans, GA — especially those geared toward active adults or downsizers — reach out because I would love to help you find what is right for you. 

Blanchard and Calhoun is the developer for Cedar Vale community. Caleb and Ehrin are associated with eXp realty and this post is in no way marketing for this development and is intended for information only. We can offer representation for the buyer, and do not represent the seller. The builder is Oconee Capital Home Builders. 

What Is Cedar Vale? (Proposed Neighborhood Overview)

Cedar Vale is a proposed 17-acre residential neighborhood designed with “active adults” and the “aging community” in mind. Unlike high-density developments or multi-unit complexes, Cedar Vale would feature single-family homes with a simplified, low-maintenance lifestyle at the heart of its design.

The plan includes approximately 48 homes, green spaces, and a strong emphasis on community and walkability — a combination many Evans homeowners actively seek.

Prime Evans Location Near Bartram Trail & Bartram Ridge

The proposed neighborhood would sit along Laurel Drive, near William Few Parkway, just south of Patriots Park and adjacent to the Bartram Trail area.

This location places residents near:

• Bartram Trail Golf Course

• Community walking trails

• Parks and recreation

• Shopping, dining, and top-rated Columbia County schools

• Evans Town Center & the Performing Arts Center

For anyone who loves the peaceful, wooded feel of Bartram Trail but prefers a smaller home or lower-maintenance lifestyle, Cedar Vale could be the perfect fit.

Neighborhood Features & Planned Layout

Based on the plan submitted to Columbia County, Cedar Vale would include:

✔ Approximately 48 Single-Family Homes

• 20 traditional lots, each at least 6,050 sq ft

• 24 additional homes arranged within six quad-lot clusters

This layout offers variety while maintaining a tight-knit community feel. There are 3 different plans proposed ranging between 1765 - 2326 square feet. 

✔ Open Green Space & Walkable Design

• Dedicated open spaces

• A 30-foot walking path connecting parts of the neighborhood

• Welcoming outdoor areas ideal for morning walks, friendly conversations, and simple relaxation

✔ Low-Maintenance Living

One of the biggest appeals: landscaping handled externally. This is a major benefit for retirees, travelers, or anyone who prefers spending weekends enjoying life instead of managing yard work.

Who Cedar Vale Is Expected to Appeal To

While not officially labeled a 55+ community, Cedar Vale naturally speaks to:

• Empty nesters

• Retirees

• Downsizers wanting smaller, efficient homes

• Busy professionals who prefer low-maintenance living

• Homebuyers attracted to Bartram Trail but seeking simpler home sizes

With walkability, nature access, and community-focused planning, Cedar Vale fills a gap in today’s Evans real estate market.

What Details Are Still Pending

Because Cedar Vale remains in the proposal phase, some specifics are not yet released or finalized, including:

• Construction timeline

• Home designs and floorplans (We received proposed floor plans from the developer if a buyer is interested)

• Pricing

• HOA structure or fees

Updates will continue as Cedar Vale moves through the approval and development process.

Why Cedar Vale Could Be a Big Win for Evans

Evans has long needed more low-maintenance, single-family housing options for active adults and those wishing to simplify their lifestyle. Cedar Vale offers:

• Smaller, easy-to-maintain homes

• A curated, walkable neighborhood environment

• Proximity to a prestigious golf course community

• Likely lower price points than larger Bartram Trail homes

• A fresh housing choice in a highly sought-after area

As Columbia County continues to grow, thoughtfully designed communities like Cedar Vale help maintain balance, beauty, and accessibility in the local market.
