Atlanta Real Estate

Kings Play Chess On Fancy Glass Stools

Condominium towers are sometimes built in groups.  This time, the location is Wildwoods.  Here, near I-75 at the edge of town, we have fresh new buildings glistening with the latest in blue-grey shiny plexiglass.  Out in the front common garden area are a batch of fresh young trees.

There are choices among these.  One option is inside of Atlanta, albeit just barely.  There are two towers of this type.

The others are in Marietta, GA which is very nearby.

Both are designed to be fairly quiet and removed from the hustle of downtown and the noise of traffic.  Of course, being strategically located near to the highway, these places are set up for fast, efficient commuting.

Here’s another sample piece of real estate.  However, this one is out in suburbia, in the town of Lawrenceville, one of the healthy communities surrounding Indianapolis.

This is a two story white house with black shutters.  The lot is most likely half and acre, with a full two car garage.

It is spacious and tasteful, while remaining modest. 

When looking for a home in Atlanta this one is an excellent choice for the modest investor: it is affordable yet classy with stone slate floors and granite counter tops. 

The three bedrooms make it big enough for a family and very roomy for those without children.

The look and feel of this home make it a great opportunity at a highly affordable price.  Jot down that address, if this one calls out to you. 

Here’s something virtually unheard of: a condominium apartment in the opulent Buckhead neighborhood at under $200,000!

For you, the secret:  801 Summit North Drive NE is the address.  It is in Piedmont Heights within Buckhead making deeply within the city of Atlanta.

This place is 1400 square foot two bedroom; most likely it is close to the ground given the price.

Its one thing to ask your realtor to show you around; it another to tell him or her where to take you.

Today’s real estate is coming from closer to the top, down.  There is a master planned 1100 acre, two neighborhood set being developed called Le Jardin. 

This is a whole different ‘ball game’, in that beautific visions of public gardens and private expanisve estates are a centerpiece that describes the whole attitude of Le Jardin.  The whole place is upscale, and subdivided into ‘the lesser and the greater rich’ by neighborhoods.  There is a wonderful assortment of trees along with gardens, artworks and so many services that you should feel like you have gone to heaven without having to die in order to get there.

If you can’t come close to affording it, then hopefully you can still get to the city’s botanical gardens and get something of the same feeling Le Jardin is focusing on.

Atlanta’s real estate market is growing and it is diverse.  There is a bustling urban movement and the condominiums vary from glistening new creations to reputable stand bys.

The homes available really do run an impressive spectrum from humble dream homes within the the tens of thousands, both those built some time ago and ones that you can order pre-fab through a sturdy middle into places so pricey that most people faint off from the dizziness.

Gated, and other newly developing communities are available within the city’s limits as well as in the surrounding suburbs.  Many of these offer the flexibility to choose from a selection of floor plans instead of having no choice, or to make your own design. 

Tomorrow, more examples, but today, a fresh overview.

I promised that today we would get back to the real estate itself.  Well, our example location today is the new 364 unit Uptown Square condominium complex in the heart of Atlanta.

The market is facing two opposing forces right now: moving in one direction, there is a glut in the condominium area so even though popular interest in strong, it is not rapidly increasing.  Luckily for Atlanta however, there is a major trend of more people choosing the urban lifestyle over the suburban commuter style.  Thanks to this, these homes may find all their needed dwellers.

Of course, once you live in Atlanta you will find that a great deal of what you can do is going to be influenced by your budget and by the amount of time that you have available.

When there is plenty of money, most adults then sadly find that they are hard pressed for free time.  For those who really love their work this often leads to quite a happy life and the shortage of free time is not so bad.

On the other end, often when there is plenty of time, there may be a shortage of money.  Children, students, and housewives are amongst those who often find this to be the situation. 

Creative Loafing in Atlanta is a resource designed to help newcomers discover what they can do for fun.  Of course, you need to have a bit of a ‘beginners mind’ in order to do this.  If you already know what you want to do, then this guide can help you to find it.  However, if one reason that you want to move is so that you can change how you have been living, then you will love this refreshing opportunity to discover new ways of having a good time.  Creative Loafing is available online.

Next time, its back to the real estate itself.

Now that we have seen a few more houses let’s review another important aspect of the market.  I mean the city of course, and how to live happily in it.

There are local guides that you can find to help you do this.  One is a local magazine, called Atlanta Homes Lifestyles.  This one covers quite a variety of information including home decor concerns as well as some of what we handle in this blog.  This comes in especially handy for women and for couples without children, although no man need feel guilty if he gets his hands on this magazine.

There is a new neighborhood in Greater Atlanta called the River Club.  This is part of a new trend that takes the same approach to the upscale homes as to those in the midrange:  there is a club that goes with your neighborhood.  The River Club community offers a private golf club of its own meant to rival other local country clubs.

This new development of fine upscale homes is bordered by a nature park at the Chattahoochee River.  Schools, shopping and major roads are near enough for convenience yet distant enough for privacy and quiet.

Prices range from the $900s to the $2Mil.
