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.

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.

The Manhattan Condo Highrise in the Heart of the Perimeter Area
It is easy for me to be excited about The Manhattan Condos in the Heart of the Perimeter Area. This 27-story Highrise is one of the few Highrises in the Perimeter area of Atlanta. One of the most attractive features of these condos is the location. The Manhattan is walking distance to several restaurants including Panera, Doc Greens, Jimmy Buffet’s Cheeseburger in Paradise, Outback Steakhouse, Flemings, and so much more. Also outside your front door are several retailers including Super Target, Office Max, and various home furnishing/décor stores. The Manhattan Condos are also walking distance to the Perimeter Center Mall, Marta, LA Fitness, and a movie theater. Just because The Manhattan Condos are so convenient to so much, that is not the only feature that excites me about these highrise condos. Those conveniences only add to the luxury of The Manhattan.
The Manhattan Condos are unique for the area and stands out as one of the nicest highrise condos in Atlanta. The Manhattan floorplans, finishes, and amenities are complete luxury. The amenities incorporate full-time resort style services including 24-hour concierge, fitness center with private personal training rooms, a resort-style pool and fountains with an outdoor covered patio and fireplace, a professional indoor virtual golf training center, a floor lounge and observation deck on the 26th floor, a lighted regulation tennis court, and so much more.
No detail has been left out in the development of The Manhattan Condos in Atlanta. Each home boasts 10 ft. ceilings, walls of glass, granite and marble counter tops, nice wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and exotic hardwood flooring in the living areas. Comfort and class are how I describe The Manhattan Condos. And the value these condos bring to the Atlanta Perimeter area is worth mentioning.
The Manhattan Condos in the heart of Perimeter Atlanta have 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms, as well as one level and two level Penthouses. The Manhattan Condos 1 bedrooms sell from the low $200,000’s with the two bedrooms at the mid $300,000’s and the Penthouses at mid $600,000’s to over $1.5 million. The Manhattan Condos are worth considering a place to call home.
