Atlanta's Newest CityÃ¢â¬Â¦Dunwoody

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Dunwoody is the latest of the many suburbs of Atlanta to claim independence through residential voting and establish itself as an official city. Although the City of Dunwoody officially began operations on December 1, 2008, the area was founded in the early 1830â€™s and named for Major Charles Dunwoody. The first church and private school in unincorporated Dunwoody was Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church established in 1829. The still active church is located at the intersection of Roberts Drive and Spalding Drive. Dunwoody is located in Dekalb County just north of the Atlanta city perimeter, making it convenient for those who commute to the city for work and for weekends out. It is bordered by Sandy Springs to the west, Chamblee to the south, Roswell to the north and Norcross to the east. Although it is just a few miles north of downtown Atlantaâ€™s cultural options, the suburb offers residents quieter neighborhoods and more affordable housing, making it a popular choice among growing families and first time home buyers. Being part of Dekalb County, Dunwoody school aged children may attend Kingsley, Vanderlyn or Austin elementary schools, Peachtree Middle School and Dunwoody High School as designated by the Atlanta Public School zones. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta Homes]]> Dunwoody]]> GA]]> Real Estate]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on Atlanta Homes , Dunwoody GA Real Estate or Virginia Highland Homes for sale please visit DwellAtlanta.Com

Modernizing the Interior of Your Modern Home

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

You finally bought the modern home you have always dreamed about, or perhaps youâ€™re still looking to buy. Either way, once you have purchased your modern dream home, what are you going to do on the inside? Modern homes are not simply updated housing or using the most in-style and advanced building materials. Modern homes are a unique architectural style where form follows function. Therefore, modern homes lack outer adornment and decoration, preferring straight lines, sleek surfaces and square corners. So it would not be fitting to fill an outwardly modern home with ornate, overstuffed furniture and dazzling light fixtures. A modern home should follow the same architectural principles on the inside as it does on the outsideâ€”form should follow function. Smooth metals, concrete and glass are often used in modern homes since they are very functional materials. These same surfaces should be incorporated into the interior of your home. Decorate with stainless steel kitchen appliances and countertops and use glass surfaced tables. Since ornately curved furniture legs and rounded corners are not functional necessities, look for furniture that is straight, square and provides the most functional space for its purpose. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta]]> Real Estate]]> for sale]]> Condos]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on Modern Homes Atlanta , Atlanta Modern Homes for sale or Green Homes Atlanta please visit DwellAtlanta.Com

Finding the Perfect Atlanta Loft

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Loft living is not for everyone. But for those desiring in-town living, close proximity to their favorite night time hot spots and within walking distance to work, lofts present a desirable and affordable alternative. Loft living is all about the three Lâ€™sâ€: lifestyle, location and low budget. Living in a loft is a lifestyle choice that revolves around the location you want to live in and your budget. Lofts are the hip, less conforming alternative to condos and the affordable solution to houses. No longer just for the young and struggling artists, lofts offer home buyers a new option for downtown accommodations. Though traditional studio lofts are one bedroom and open, more modern lofts may have segmenting walls to create multiple rooms. When looking to buy a loft, keep the three Lâ€™sâ€ in mind to make sure you find the perfect place to purchase. Location is the key when looking to purchase a loft. Most loft owners, and future buyers, do not have expanding families so school districts should be a secondary concern and a value-added benefit if your loft is zoned for a good school. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta]]> Real Estate]]> for sale]]> Condos]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on Atlanta Real Estate for sale , Atlanta Condos for sale or Atlanta Lofts for sale please visit DwellAtlanta.Com

Top Reasons to Call New Orleans Home!

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Though hundreds of thousands will flock to New Orleans for Mardi Gras festivities, the metropolitan area is just under one million, making NOLA the perfect combination of big city amenities with a small town feel. There are plenty of reasons to call New Orleans home, here are a few of our favorites: New Orleans is often called the Crescent City, because the city proper is shaped like a crescent, or the Big Easy, which was the name of a famous jazz hall in the early 1900s. Either way, NOLA has fun nicknames that few other cities have achieved. It is much more fun to tell people you live in the Big Easyâ€ rather than the Windy Cityâ€ or the Big Appleâ€. New Orleans has a rich history which has molded and shaped this unique city. Few other cities have been able to replicate the cultural ambiance that pervades the streets, buildings and entertainment options. The French Quarter has some of the most entertaining performances for free, right on the street! **End Summary** Topics: New Orleans Real Estate]]> New Orleans]]> Condos]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on New Orleans Real Estate , New Orleans Condos or Mandeville Real Estate please visit DwellNewOrleans.Com

Condos for all Lifestyles

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500

In todayâ€™s economic climate, many are looking at lease agreements and monthly payments, thinking, I could own a home for this.â€ Condominiums, or condos, present the perfect opportunity for those in Atlanta wishing to own a home and to have more control over their interior space. A condominium is a building in which the apartment, or interior living quarters, is legally real propertyâ€ owned by an individual. Although condo owners are subject to building regulations and home owner association (HOA) policies, an owner may sell, lease or renovate the condo to suit his or her preferences. For busy individuals, condos offer a great opportunity to own a home without the responsibility of exterior upkeep. Most Atlanta condominiums include HOA fees which include exterior building, common area and landscape maintenance. HOA fees often include rights to use special amenities and services such as workout facilities, swimming pools, business centers, pest control and garbage collection. Some condominium complexes also offer 24-hour security or concierge service. The Atlanta market is abundant with condominium offerings and each comes with a unique set of amenities and special services. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta Condos or Atlanta Lofts]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information on Atlanta Condos or Atlanta Lofts , please visit DwellAtlanta.Com .

Atlanta's Real Estate Supports HOT--lanta Nickname

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Atlanta is nicknamed HOT-lanta for a number of reasons, and most of them are not regarding the actual temperature. Although the southern city can get quite steamy during the summer months of July, August and September, Atlantaâ€™s array of high-end offerings from shopping to cultural events and everything in between is what really causes this city to sizzle. While Buckhead offers some of the most sought after shopping experiences and retail boutiques for one audience, the many restaurants owned by famous R&B artists and music producers--not to mention the likelihood of running into a celebrity--draws a different crowd. And while modern architecture and premier restaurants cater to those wanting to experience the latest trends in upscale dining, others arrive to partake of the historical significance of the city and the vast amount of cultural offerings. It seems that the city has something for everyone which is why residents of Atlanta are as diverse in personality and dreams as the cities and countries from which they come. Atlanta is highly regarded as a transient city, a city where many reside but no one is officially from. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta]]> Real Estate]]> Atlanta Condos]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information on Atlanta Real Estate or Atlanta Condos , please visit DwellAtlanta.Com .

History of New Orleans Appeals to The New Home Owners

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500

New Orleans, La. has been an important city for travel and trade since the day it was first settled by Native Americans. Even before the French explorers, fur trappers and traders arrived to its shores around 1690, those who had settled there before understood the importance of the areaâ€™s advantageous location. Therefore it is no surprise that early European explorers took a liking to the area and why French adventurer Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville quickly established the settlement of Nouvelle-Orleans in 1718. The areaâ€™s tumultuous history of French ownership and southern plantations with large slave populations invoke a richness of history resulting in an eclectic culture full of pride and customs that few other cities within the United States are able to claim. Where else can you experience French architecture while feasting on Southern fare and listening to the Rhythm and Blues? The draw of New Orleans brings millions of tourists annually to its lively streets for the unparalleled experiences of Mardi Gras and New Yearâ€™s Eve festivities. **End Summary** Topics: New Orleans Real Estate]]> French Quarter Condos]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more information on New Orleans Real Estate or French Quarter Condos , please visit DwellNewOrleans.Com .

Decorating a Studio Loft

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Traditional lofts are a single room which houses all of your living quarters. This can make having guests over and entertaining friends quite difficult as your bedroom flows into your living room which flows into your kitchen and bathroom! However, these tips for decorating a single room are sure to make your studio loft presentable for any occasion. There are tricks to making a small area feel more spacious. So if your loft is not an expansive, full floor studio, donâ€™t sweat it. Try these simple tips to make it feel bigger. Buy multipurpose furniture with storage space. Futons are a great way to enjoy sitting space during the day, or for a nightly movie, then convert into a bed for an overnight guest. Many coffee tables and mobile kitchen islands also come with built in storage bins that help maximize space. And storage baskets that fit under your bed create nifty places to hide blankets, magazines and even clothes from visitors. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta Condos]]> Atlanta]]> Lofts]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on Atlanta Condos , Atlanta Lofts , or Modern Homes Atlanta , please log on to DwellAtlanta.Com

Condos Promote Green Lifestyles

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Condos in Atlanta can promote green living and a healthy lifestyle that contradicts the traditional views of life within the city. When most people think about living in condos, they view a downtown city environment full of pollution, traffic and noise. However, as construction practices around Atlanta concentrate on promoting energy efficient buildings and multi-use developments, as well as incorporating green spaces into larger developments, condo life is getting healthier every day. Furthermore, city life also encourages the use of public transportation and walking as opposed to driving personal vehicles which contribute to air pollution and resource consumption. Multi-use developments promoting the live, work, play way of life are the cityâ€™s answer to residentsâ€™ desire to walk more and ride less. Multiple amenities, all within a convenient walking distance to your front door, make exercise a part of everyday life and greatly reduce the necessary time spent in your car, which is beneficial to both your wallet and the environment. Improved building standards have greatly reduced the level of noise that is able to penetrate the inside walls of new condo units while also promoting lower utility costs, efficient use of resources and water conservation. **End Summary** Topics: Atlanta GA]]> Condos]]> Atlanta Lofts]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info on Atlanta GA Condos , Atlanta Lofts , or Realm Condos Buckhead , please log on to DwellAtlanta.Com
