Most of us have preconceived notions. We normally do not even notice them until we happen along something that turns out to be quite different. At times, this may lead us to feeling rather shocked. In other cases our first reaction may be anger.Home design is one such area. Don’t get me wrong; I am not trying to tell you that I think you are terribly narrow minded. It isn’t that. However, as you set out on your search for homes you may well be looking for something that conforms to a pre-set notion. This is fine when you know what you want.

Over all, the current housing market in Atlanta, Georgia is great.  There is a steady influx of the population.  The market is so good in fact, that whether it is a buyer’s or seller’s market depends solely on the part of town that you are in on any given day.

There is a new development in the works to improve the quality of life in Georgia.  It is to add a system of commuter trains.  This way, it will make Atlanta more accessible to outlying areas without devastating the city nor the other counties with excessive roads or vehicular traffic.

Welcome back.  We have touched on the College Park area before, but we need to do so again.  College Park was originally it’s own city, but it is within the Highway Loop of Greater Atlanta.

This area still has its own municipal government.  Not only that it has one the largest historic districts in all of Georgia.  Obviously, if you like the classy feel of old homes, this may well be the best choice for you. 

Along with the beauty of well loved and restored homes built in the 1800′s when the city was founded, you also get a community that loves to really get out there with Southern Hospitality.  If you are a native Southerner, this may simply feel ‘normal’.

However, if you are moving to move into  the region, College Park can offer you a great deal of charm.  The city is located fairly near to the International airport, and commutes into Atlanta proper are short.

Welcome to Atlanta Real Estate!  Today is another beautiful day.  In this article we’re going to have a look at what’s available in the next ‘price level up’.  For starters, lets look at two very different homes around the $400,000 level.  Both of these have been around for a few decades.  Both are located within subdivisions.  Both have three bedrooms.

One of them, is a large white house with a very open, green lot.  It has charm, expansiveness and an overall good feel.  It could be someone’s country manor, or perhaps part of an impressive urbane street.  Not regal, but classy and relaxed, this house is potent yet low key.

The other one is a hideaway dream come true!  Fed up with the urban feeling?  You’ll adore this place!  Sure enough it is nestled in amongst trees who are blissfully mature; they must be at least 50.  The house itself is beautiful.  However, this one is ideal for walking around the house nude with the windows open and knowing you will not be exposed to your neighbors.  All this charm right in town, for about $425,000.

You may have noticed by now that not all cities are run the same way.  Atlanta has a Mayor and a City Council.  At the moment, the Mayor is a woman named Shirley Franklin.  The City Council has 15 members, including a President.  If you take a look at the photos you’ll see that the council is multi-racial and also goes across gender lines.  It is nice to know that at high levels of the local government at least, there really is diversity amongst the leadership.

Right now, the City Council President is also a woman.  Her name is Lisa Borders.  She is a Judge.  She has 14 cohorts.

While it is true, that the majority of people don’t usually actively participate in the local political debates, its nice to know where to go when you have a bone to pick, or if you want to have your say in local politics. 

Tomorrow we’ll have another look at homes.

Well, after Hurricane Katrina there’s no doubt of one thing.  The thought of property damage has crossed your mind.  Storm damage, and other weather damage is a legitimate concern.  How severe your anxiety is may depend a great deal upon the situation that faces you.

When you shop for a home, one characteristic you will want to watch out for is what types of risk the building will face.  Is there the potential for flood damage? Fire hazards?  Mind you, in Dekalb county you don’t have a forest fire risk, but you might face flooding.

Before you buy, make sure you find out whether your property is in or near a flood plain.  Remember to, the more buildings that are put up close to a natural river, the further out the flood plain will be.

If you buy in a flood plain will you need extra insurance.  Right now, the county has a special policy allowing owners to sell off property that is virtually guaranteed to flood.
