Its now official- John Wieland Homes is open for business in the Woodstock Downtown development.  As we first wrote a couple of months ago, Wieland and First Cherokee State Bank have worked out an agreement to build 107 home and townhomes in the neighborhood.

According to the Cherokee Tribune, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Friday to celebrate the opening of the Wieland Sales Center.  Townhome pricing will begin at $189,900 and single-family homes will start at $279,900 and construction should begin in about two weeks, according to Jacquie Tracy,  a Wieland sales rep.

Woodstock Downtown development is a prestigious planned community on the edge on Main Street in Downtown Woodstock GA.  Originally planned and developed by Hedgewood Properties, the project  went into foreclosure a couple of years ago and has sat dormant since.  The community has been recognized by the Congress for New Urbanism and the Atlanta Regional Commission for excellence in development.

Wednesday Weekly Buyer Specials

Filed under: Deals and Steals, Woodstock Neighborhood — Tags: , , — Kathy and Ben @ 4:59 pm

Time for another edition of our new weekly feature- we’ve once again reviewed corporate-owned, lender-owned and foreclosure properties that have come on market in the last seven days in Woodstock, North Fulton and East Cobb County- here are the results:

Woodstock Homes for Sale

North Fulton Homes for Sale

East Cobb Homes for Sale

Our favorite “pick” this week is a foreclosure in Chastain Lakes, a Kennesaw neighborhood near I-575 at Chastain Road.  The home is 4 bedrooms with 5 full baths and one half-bath- at almost 3000 sq ft plus a finished basement and an assessed value of $301,000, it’s worth a look!

Remember, as always, that these “deals” aren’t always what they seem- sometimes banks and corporations list their homes at or near market value regardless of their condition, so you always want to make sure you know what other homes have sold for in the neighborhood/area and how the neighborhood/area is trending in value.

The Farmers Market allows only local gardeners and farmers to participate and may have a sprinkling of craft vendors allowed each week.  In addition, management is working to have interesting and entertaining demonstrations each week at the market, starting with this week’s live demo of how to make a “living herb wreath”.

So check out the market- you’re bound to get fresh fruits and vegetables at a great price!

Woodstock City Park is Expanding

Filed under: Woodstock, Woodstock Neighborhood — Tags: , , — Kathy and Ben @ 2:06 pm

Work has begun on the City Park expansion in downtown Woodstock GA. The Park is expanding to the East along Arnold Mill Road on the former site of the Woodstock Police Department and City Hall.  The buildings on the site were demolished to the foundations a couple of weeks ago.  We’re told the bricks from the buildings were saved to be recycled as brick pavers in the expansion.  To our amusement, there are still a couple of jail cells on the site (see photo)- don’t really think they are intended to stay as part of the expanded though who knows?  Perhaps the cells will remain to discourage rowdy concert goers! (Just kidding)

Here’s the conceptual rendering for Woodstock City Park that includes a permanent stage for concerts and other events, an interactive splash fountain and an amphitheater layout with brick pavers incorporated throughout the park.  The rendering is on display at the Woodstock Visitors Center.  We’ll keep an eye on the progress and give you updates in future posts.
