A New Chapter: Poplar Forest at Mercer Nears Completion

Poplar Forest at Mercer is entering the final stages of a comprehensive community-wide renovation, marking an exciting new chapter for this long-standing Macon community.

Originally built in 1996 and acquired by AGPM in 2015, this 140-unit family community has been thoughtfully reimagined to enhance both comfort and quality of life for residents. Today, that vision is becoming reality.
