A House Grows in Crabapple

Eight of them to be exact. You won’t see them until they go under contract as they are pre-sale only - but I don’t expect that to take long. I’ve been wondering for a while now why we haven’t seen a builder come in and breath live back into the new communities of Crabapple Crossroads and Crabapple Crossing but finally some builders are stepping up to the opportunity and I think they will do just fine.
Anthem Homes
Three veteran builders; Gregg Goldenberg, Jon Roby and Thomas Olson have come together and founded Anthem Homes & Neighborhoods and plan to build 4 single-family homes and 4 attached garden homes in the Crabapple Crossing community. The product will be very close to the existing homes in both look and size. Anthem is currently building in Cobb, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Jackson, Fulton and Cherokee Counties and has a solid track record.
The Product
There are 2 options for the s ingle-family homes , which are both 4 bedroom / 3.5 bath homes with 2-car garages and come in a little under 3,000 Sq. Ft. All bedrooms will be upstairs. And the good news is the pricing will be in just under $350,000 . I’m sure this will be the last time we ever see new construction under $350k in North Fulton - and certainly in Crabapple.
The attached garden homes will also be 4 bedroom / 3.5 baths around 2800 Sq. Ft., with 2-car garages and priced just under $300,000 . One plan will have a master on the main, the other will have the master up. Both will have a bonus room and some room for potential expansion in the upstairs un-finished attic space.
Crabapple
The businesses in Crabapple continue to be a draw for residents around the area, with Scoops Ice Cream Shop as a new addition. Both the retail and residential will continue to feed off each other so I expect to see more growth in the coming months. For buyers who have purchased in the area recently - I think they got a great deal and will not only reap the benefits of price appreciation in the future, but will love living in the area too.
Let us know if you have any questions about the communities or available properties.
I talked with a business owner today who wants to open an Italian Restaurant in Crabapple. Hes haggling with the Agent on rent and they wont budge much on the price, and its high. So much so that hes considering other locations. I hope they work more with these businesses until it fills to say 75%as I know an Italian place (think Ippilitos’ish) would do very well.
Hey Dustin, I agree. An Italian place would do well there. They had a Little Azio’s but it didn’t make it. I have to say, I’m not a huge fan so I’m not surprised. Something that isn’t a chain with a local community draw would be great and I know the community would support it. My fingers are crossed too!
It’s good to see builders stepping back in to developments. There are way too many in my area that look mostly vacant.
