Atlanta Home Search by School- The “Atlanta Hop”

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

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.

Top Atlanta Schools2.) 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.

Atlanta Scool Rankings

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.

Kerry’s Intown Favorites for First-time Home Buyers

Monday, April 30th, 2007

If you are ready to put down some roots and begin the search for your first home?

Many new buyers want to be in a convenient – and fun — Atlanta neighborhood, but sometimes the prices are a little hard to swallow. The following areas are my ‘intown favorites’, offering you the ability to find a home that is move-in ready and will allow you to quickly build equity in your investment:

The East Lake Terrace neighborhood surrounds the East Lake Country Club (near the intersection of 2nd Ave and Glenwood Ave) and has experienced tremendous growth in the past two years. There are new million dollar homes facing the golf course and $195,000 brick bungalows just across the street! Also, you are minutes to 1-20, the Oakhurst Village, Kirkwood and East Atlanta.

Best Buy for $200,000 to $250,000….
East Atlanta More and more first-time home buyers are charmed by the “new and improved” East Atlanta Village, as well as the affordable housing. For less than $250,000, you can usually fine a renovated 2 – 3 bedroom home. New construction is also booming in this area, starting at $299,000 for a 3 bdrm / 2 bath home.

Best Buy for $250,000 to $300,000….

Kirkwood offers homeowners a true “neighborhood feel”, with parks, shops, art galleries and restaurants. Since the new Kirkwood Station was built in 2006, homes have been in high demand. For about $250,000 – $300,000 you can still find a renovated 3 bedroom / 1+ bath home within walking distance to the new Kirkwood Station on Hosea Williams.

Intown Atlanta Favorites from Kerry Lucasse: KIRKWOOD

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Located just down the street from the new Edgewood Retail District, Kirkwood has has appreciated faster than most Atlanta neighborhoods. It’s easy to see why: it’s just minutes from Downtown Atlanta and the interstate, has a wide selection of beautifully restored bungalows and newer homes, and residents know their neighbors and can walk down sidewalks under mature trees to nearby parks and businesses.
The numbers tell the story. The median price of an existing home in zip code 30317 increased by 69% from 2000 to 2004. With the recent development of the Kirkwood Station and many new businesses, home prices have increased even further and the average home price (as of March, 2007) is now more than $280,000. While these figures offer a good sense of the thriving Kirkwood real estate market, they understate the total impact, as they exclude the sale of condominiums, lots, and, most notably, homes sold by owner.

If you’d like more information, please contact me and I would be happy to show you around the neighborhood!
