Atlanta Home Search by School The “Atlanta Hop”

Some of the most import features of Atlanta real estate are taxes, traffic and schools. This particular Atlanta Real estate blog will focus on what we call the “Atlanta Hop”.

The “Atlanta Hop” is the process of an Atlanta couple buying and selling houses to follow public schools. This home buying process usual starts before a couple even knows it.

1.) The couples usual start with a home in a fun intown location before even thinking about children. Examples of these areas and home for sale in them are; Decatur, Virginia Highland, Brookhaven and Smyrna. These areas in Atlanta are not necessarily known as the best schools but they are known for great locations and fun restaurants and bars.

2.) 1st big HOP. Time to look for a home in a good Elementary school. 1st step in the hop is to call us to list your current home. 2nd step is to look for homes in Dunwoody, East Cobb, Norcross, Morningside or Buckhead. These are areas in Atlanta know for some of the top public elementary schools. Not all schools in these areas are the best but some of the most notable schools (from the web site Schooldigger.com) are Vanderlyn, Tritt, Mountain Park, Mount Bethel, Murdock, Simpson, Livsey, Brandon, Crabapple Crossing, Sope Creek, Fernbank, Austin, Timber Ridge.

3.) 2nd HOP. Time to look for good Middle and or High School. Your Realtor, other parents at the school or school digger are the best resources for your next move. A few areas to focus on that are know for some of the best high schools in Atlanta would be Cobb, Alpharetta, and Gwinnett County. Not all schools in these areas are the best but some of the most notable schools (from the web site Schooldigger.com) are Walton High, Lassiter High, Pope High, Chattahoochee, North Gwinnett, Alpharetta, Roswell High, Kell High and Harrison High.

Everyone loves our Atlanta Real Estate Blog!

Since my Atlanta Real Estate Blog has been one of the Top Atlanta Real Estate Blogs for a while now, I thought I would put together a blog of some of the Nation’s top Real Estate Blogs. Over the past couple of years some of my blogs posts have focused on Lofts, Condos, Foreclosures, and Atlanta Mansions.

Some of the most popular blogs in the country focus on the National housing crisis, like Nation’s Housing Panic, Housing Bubble, and Housing Doom.

Other interesting blogs that are out in cyberspace are focused on Real Estate Investing. A few great examples of Real Estate investing blogs are Real Estate Investing, Buying or Selling a Home, and Housing Derivatives.

If you are interested in researching all different types of blogs, I have found that blogflux and Blogstoplist are two of my top favorite.

One blog that is very popular with Real Estate agents across the country is Active Rain. Be sure and check it out, but be prepared and have the kids leave the room…there are many frustrated Realtors venting about the current Real Estate market

If you would like to go and build you own blog, I would recommend Blogger and Wordpress (who I use).
