Forest Creek is one of Canton's best kept secrets!  The homes are very big - the neighborhood has great amenities - and it is located minutes from the interstate and the new open-air mall that is being billed as the "largest open-air mall in the SE".  This community has sidewalks and streetlights, a certified wildlife habitat, a 50 acre nature preserve, walking trails and picnic area. Of course the amenities include a gorgeous clubhouse - pool - and tennis courts as well as a basketball court and playground.  The homes boast very open floor plans with lots of windows and square footage.  Many have daylight basements that owners are finishing into beautiful rec rooms, bedrooms and theater rooms.  And one of the greatest advantages of all is the builders…

As a proud bearer of the SRES designation in real estate, I find myself going out of my way to check out any and all new active adult communities that pop up in the area.  SRES stands for Seniors Real Estate Specialist -- and it grooms us to understand and serve the special needs of consumers in the 55 and older market.  Cherokee County is stepping up to the plate also -- several new 55+ communities have had their grand openings this spring and several more are in the early stages of development.  No matter what your price range is - from the low 100's to the 500's - you can find what you are looking for in North Georgia - and probably right here in Cherokee County.  Somerset, The Seasons, Laurel Canyon, Cadence, Bridgemill, Meridian, and Montclair are…

Ball Ground GA is minutes from downtown Canton and approx 20 minutes south of Jasper.  It is one of NW Georgias fastest growing areas and has plans for a very quaint renovation of the small downtown area.  Many new neighborhoods are being developed including Lantern Walk, Mountain Brooke, Winchester Oaks and more.  Several new schools have recently opened in Ball Ground - and the new middle school and high school have state of the art technology available.   Interstate access is key to Ball Ground's growth.  I-575 has an exit directly onto Hwy 5 where new developments are going up and the downtown area is right around the corner.  For more information on neighborhoods or commercial development in Ball Ground or Canton call or email… Read Full Post

Should you be concerned about the drought in NW Georiga?  According to local authorities  "measures are being taken to insure the drought will not result in a water shortage crises".   In the meantime we should all be "environmentally" concerned about our water supply (as well as other natural resources) as responsible consumers of this planet.  Here are ten top ways to conserve water - for more info go to www.ConserveWaterGeorgia.net.  

Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry.    

Take showers instead of baths--shorten your shower to 5 minutes and install a water-saving showerhead.   

Flush less often and replace older fixtures with water-saving commodes now available.  

Fix all leaky faucets and toilets.  

Never leave…

Just checking in here at REW.  I have been working on getting a new blog up and it is going pretty good so far.  You can never get enough exposure.. right?  My idea for this one is to focus on neighborhoods and counties or other particular areas of interest.  I have only had the site up for about a week but already getting traffic and I can tell that this has some potential.  It is a little rough on the edges still though.

Any critique is greatly appreciated.  The overall goal is to gradually become a large source of information for real estate and communities in my service area - Cherokee county.

Thanks for checking in at my blog here at REW.  Talk to you next time!
