Milton Ga Community of The Week: Clearbrooke
categories: Alpharetta Real Estate, Community of the Week, Milton Real Estate
What makes this big little community great is that it hits the sweet spot some buyers are looking for with respect to size of community. With approx. 40 homes all on 1+ acre lots, the subdivision isn’t too big but also not so small that it disappears.
Although smaller in size, the community put in sidewalks and most of the homes are built back off of the street, allowing for large level front yards but still providing substantial - more private back yards. It isn’t uncommon to see kids playing in the front yards and neighbors out walking.
At the time of this post there are only three homes in Clearbrooke available for sale, and three have been sold over the past 60 days - proving that a great community with well built homes can retain a strong demand. Living on large lots with wooded privacy behind allows you to feel like you’re well removed from commercial development and traffic but in fact you are only a few minuets away from Windward Pkwy, hwy 400, Northpoint Mall, Downtown Alpharetta and Crabapple.
Peachtree Residential is the builder here, known for a quality product, they built what they call semi-custom homes ranging from $700k - $900k. All the homes built in Clearbrooke are in the 3100 - 4000 sq. ft range with open plans and upgraded finishes.
