This past weekend, I found myself visiting
new home communities throughout South Forsyth County
to see the current inventory and the latest features and upgrades as builders try to reduce their new home inventory.
As I toured these homes, I was struck by the incredible finishes and upgrades that made these
$500,000 properties look and feel like a million dollars.

Communities included Vickery Springs In Cumming Georgia. This neighborhood of Newer Homes are still available for sale. Builders include Osley Builder and Carriage Homes Inc. Below is an example of a Carriage Homes Quality Home. Full of details galore from heavily detailed tray ceilings to built in bookcases.

Features like heavy crown mouldings on both the main and 2nd level, Master bedrooms with sitting area's and fireplaces, kitchen's and keeping rooms that exuded warmth and elegance. Granite counters and intricate full tile backsplash. Stack stone columns surrounding the gas oven. Full bathrooms for every bedroom. Finished basements with home theatres. Outdoor Fireplace. The list goes on and on.

What I found interesting is that each community had wonderful unique qualities, was beautifully maintained and all offered tremendous value for the dollar. While I have always found the Northern Atlanta area to be affordable in regard to housing, the finishes and features now make these houses "fully loaded", akin to upgrading the Toyota to a Lexus.

If you have the financial means and have entertained the thought of shopping or looking at new home communities, you will be excited to see what's in store for you.
Don't take my word for it, go see for yourself.
Visit North Atlanta Real Estate Web Site,

Email or call for more of the latest builder information and their new home develpments that are waiting for you. Be careful when you do go, as you might find yourself buying your new home.

If you would like a list of the other communities I am writing about,
send me an email and I would be pleased to share them with you.
