Front-Loaded Garages VS Rear-Loaded Garages

Intown Homes — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 15:53:40 +0000

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!

Well Water Keeps Dupont Commons Green and Clean

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.

Happy Birthday America!
