Great street. Lots of activity in Sexton Woods, new builds have slowed down but depending on the price it should be a good investment. Fix it up and live in it or knock it down and build a bigger home.
If its under 200K I would buy it. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 06:24
This is a GREAT location. Personally, I feel that the builder has under built for the area when new build homes nearby have commanded 6-900K. That being said, I think its a great opportunity. The pricing for the single family homes is very competitive, I dont see them dropping too much in the near future but that is anyones guess. If you are looking at the townhomes in the s/d then you might also want to look across the street (ivey townhomes??), those are well built and priced well.
If you want to spend a little more drive up the street into Sexton Woods, there are some tear down/new builds up for sale in the 6's and 7's, much larger lots and higher quality.
You cannot beat the area/school/shopping etc. Definitely a gem that is quickly being discovered. - Mon Jan 28 2008, 10:31
It may be. Open answer to an open question :). Clearly, the usage so far is antiques and restaraunts/art galleries etc. I personally dont think the antique galleries do that well. I think the area could benefit from a big box presence like a Starbucks or specialty retail. There are LOTS of places to rent but very little to purchase. The influx of high earners to the area definitley bodes well for retail. If you look to the west of Peachtree Industrial there are plenty of 700K+ single family homes going up.
The 'Village' going up in Brookhaven will draw a lot of retail and that may help or hurt. My view is that Chamblee is a good stopping point between the outer suburbs and the madness of Buckhead.
Bottom line - if the retail type is a fit then it should work, but I would do a lot of research first.
