In Praise of Sidewalks

Posted by: Intown Homes | Comments (0)

The sidewalks at Dupont Commons weave through the community's park.

Some of Atlanta’s most prestigious neighborhoods are missing something – sidewalks. It’s one of those things you don’t notice until you try to walk or bike through an area. Next time you visit an area, try to walk a few blocks. It’s scary to think that you (or your kids) may have to share the road with cars, yet it’s more common that you think. And the design of the sidewalk is important as well. Barriers such as trees, lampposts, or even parked cars, make it safer and more enjoyable to walk. There’s research to show that cars are driven slower down tree lined streets making it safer for everyone in the neighborhood.

Sidewalks that are a feature, not an afterthought, are what you’ll find in a Brock Built community. The homes are designed to make walking interesting, and promote interaction with neighbors.

The Commons at Historic Westside is a short walk to the famous Busy Bee Cafe and the Ashby MARTA station

Georgia Tech students, alumni and season ticket holders get a $1000 buyer bonus

Meet the 2010 Yellow Jacket football and volleyball players and coaches this Saturday, August 7th from 3-6 p.m. The annual Yellow Jacket Fan Day is free and kicks off at 3 p.m. on Callaway Plaza, located behind the North end of the stadium. Fans can enter the stadium to meet the team beginning at 4 p.m.

Football players will be seated with their position groups at various points on the playing field. Head football coach Paul Johnson will sign autographs from 4-5 p.m. and will be available for photographs from 5-6 p.m.

On your way, check out a Brock Built home. Four of our neighborhoods (Dupont Commons, West Highlands, The Commons and 8 On Carroll) are within a few miles of the Georgia Tech campus. We’re offering a $1000 Buyer Bonus for Georgia Tech Students, Alumni and Season ticket holders on any new Brock Built home (valid through 12/31/10).

A new report out by RCLCO says Americans still prefer a single-family detached house (single family homes represent 90% of total new homes sales in the top 20 Master Planned Communities in the US). The difference in 2009 is buyers wanted smaller lots (more than 4 dwelling units per acre). A majority of buyers were in the 30-39-year age group, and many were first-time homebuyers.

Brock Built has a number of single-family homes available and pre-sales for new homes in Dupont Commons that are excellent for first-time homebuyers wanting a smaller, low maintenance yard (but with close access to a park and an award winning recreation center).

Moving garages to the back of the homes at Dupont Commons makes them more attractive and inviting.

Phase III of what readers of The Sunday Paper voted the best new subdivision is now underway. Dupont Commons is an award-winning, new home community in west Atlanta with classic, craftsman architecture that’s more attractive and inviting than what you’ll find out in the suburbs. What makes a big difference is putting the garages behind the house instead of out front where a two or three car garage dominates a home’s design giving it an ugly “snout” appearance. Try walking the tree-lined sidewalks of Dupont Commons, and you’ll appreciate the beauty of the homes and how they work together to create a friendly “streetscape.” This approach encourages interaction with neighbors that makes the community safer (and a funner place to live). You’ll also have a pleasant walk to Dupont Commons award-winning clubhouse with fitness center and pool – and parks with picnic areas and playgrounds.

Beautiful and functional pre sale plans starting from $274,900!

Dupont Commons by Brock Built features an irrigation system that uses well water in its sprinkler systems and has an extra hookup for homeowners to use for things such as washing their cars.  Having a community well puts less stress on the city’s municipal water system, and saves residents money on their water and sewage bills. Home owners also have the flexibility to use water for activities such as power washing or cleaning their cars when needed while other communities are limited to an odd/even watering schedule under the new Georgia Water Stewardship Act that went into effect statewide last month.

As your family celebrates the 4th of July, use caution if you’re lighting your own fireworks. There’s a 1 in 19,556 chance you could hurt yourself. You’re actually four times more likely to injure yourself shaving or using a chain saw. And you have a one in 3,623 chance of injury mowing your lawn.

So play it safe today and skip the yard work, shaving and let the professionals put on the firework displays. Here’s a list of where you can find them in Metro Atlanta (http://tinyurl.com/34vqyxr).

Speaking of playing it safe, as a special thank you to the people who protect our neighborhoods, Brock Built is offering a $5000 buyer bonus for police officers and firefighters on all our communities. Call 404.472.5707 for more information.
