A New Year and New Construction
categories: Buyers, Milton Real Estate, New Construction
As the calendar flips over to 2007, the bulldozers are at work. Most of Alpharetta is built out and any new construction in Roswell is taking place on tear down parcels or small parcels where the homesteaders didn’t sell out in the beginning - or in the far reaches of Roswell in the Cox Road area.
However, if you want new construction in the new year, then plenty can be found in Milton (and South Forsyth), depending on your budget. It seems that every week a new development pops up.
To name a few, construction is on-going in: Evergrace, Crabapple Brooke, Clearbrooke, Hampton Manor, The Manor, Crabapple Estates, Highlands at North Valley, Crabapple Crossroads and Bethany Commons. Crabapple Crossroads (on Broadwell Road, just south of “downdown” Crabapple) is the least expensive of this new construction, at around $500k and up. Aside from Crabapple Crossroads, which is around $600k off Mid-Broadwell RD, the rest of this new construction is $850k and up.
In other subdivisions, like Triple Crown and Six Hills, contruction still continues in the backs of the neighborhoods and Triple Crown is going to have a reported 4th phase.
As the year starts there remains a lot of inventory in the $850k plus price range: 99 homes in the Milton High School District alone. From $600-$850k, there are 39 new homes on the market; and from $400-$600k there are 23 new homes, almost all in Crabapple Crossroads.
A hundred homes on the market at the high end doesn’t seem to be detering the builders, though. New dirt has been broken for 16 home sites in The Hayfield on Providence RD. Additionally, Lake Haven development has started, which is 61 new homes off of Freemanville RD and promises to be spectacular with the lake in the center of the development. More details to follow on this one.
Finally, the face of Crabapple is forever changed with the dirt work started for the new John Wieland Homes development. I know why they cut down ALL the trees, but is it really necessary? I have yet to drive a client into a neighborhood where is wasn’t clearcut and have them say, “Gee, too bad they left some trees.”
