Acadia Homes and Neighborhoods Banks on Alpharetta a Second Time

For a company borne out of the housing market crash of 2008, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods is well aware that there is no such thing as a sure bet. However, given the award-winning homebuilder’s meteoric rise in the years since – which includes a turn on Atlanta Business Chronicle’s list of Atlanta’s Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies and a two-year run on the publication’s list of Top 20 Home Builders in Atlanta – the company leaders have become fairly skilled at pairing their distinctive community concepts with some of the city’s most sought after destinations. In the case of their newest community – Enclave at Wills Park, Acadia’s President and CEO Gregg Goldenberg believes they’ve struck the perfect balance. Based upon the continuing success of its first Alpharetta community – Woodland Cove, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods was more than happy to take another gamble on this vibrant Southern city.

“Our newest community – Enclave at Wills Park – features a stunning collection of homes with thoughtfully planned interiors and nostalgic Craftsman-inspired exteriors priced from the $500’s,” said Goldenberg. “We’ve situated this collection in Alpharetta – which ranked #1 on Forbes list of Best Places to Move in 2009 and #7 of Friendliest Cities in the US in 2012. It’s called the ‘City of Celebration’ for very good reason. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the creation of fun community-centered events and the wooing of excellent retailers, restaurateurs and destinations. Not only is this city a great fit for families, our community is a wonderful match for families – particularly families who love adventure and enjoy a superlative sense of luxury.”

Enclave at Wills Park is poised at the edge of a 110-acre park that shares its name and boasts swimming pool, splash pad, tennis courts, baseball fields, disc golf course, dog park, playgrounds, walking trails, equestrian center, community garden and more. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits of an entirely different kind, Verizon Amphitheatre at Encore Park boasts a jam-packed calendar of open-air concerts featuring such legendary and varied artists as James Taylor, Styx, Foreigner, Mötley Crüe and more. Close proximity to GA 400, the sprawling Northpoint Mall with its premium collection of retailers and world-class dining, and the NEW Avalon at Alpharetta make Enclave at Wills Park all the more alluring. A perpetual paradise for fashionistas and foodies alike, Avalon is a brand new $600 million mixed use development, set upon 86 sprawling acres at the intersection of Old Milton Parkway and GA 400. While there, guests can catch the latest releases at the Regal Cinema Avalon Stadium 12 or peruse specialty retailers like American Threads, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, L’Occitane, Crate & Barrel, Tommy Bahama, Vineyard Vines and more. When hunger strikes, they could stroll the aisles at Whole Foods Market® or score a table at any number of distinctive dining establishments such as Marlow’s Tavern, Kona Grill, and Cru Food & Wine Bar, among others.

Homes in Enclave at Wills Park are designed with modern families in mind, showcasing seven 3- and 4-bedroom two-story floorplans with standard features that include gourmet kitchens, 10’ ceilings on the main floor, exquisite trim work, rounded edge corners, pre-wiring for home automation systems and more. Options include such luxury-inspired features as double-sided linear fireplaces, coffered ceilings and shiplap wood walls. One floorplan features a third-story option – which takes the home from 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths to 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. There are currently five homes under construction, including the model home – which will be professionally merchandised by award-winning designer, Tanaya Morgan of Parlay Interiors. It is slated to premier at the end of September with a Grand Opening scheduled for October 10.

“Our location is superb,” said ChrisAnn Johnson, one of two Neighborhood Sales Managers at Enclave at Wills Park. “If you want to live in Alpharetta and North Fulton, you won’t find a better destination than this. We’re one mile from Downtown Alpharetta, 100 feet from Wills Park, two miles from GA-400, and 1.6 miles from Avalon. Students in the community are part of the Milton High School District – which ranks #6 in the state with a graduation rate of 91.2%. In addition to active and discerning families, we’ve gotten a lot of interest from empty nesters and downsize buyers who are drawn to the smaller HOA-maintained lots with fenced in front- and backyards, as well as our two master-on-main floorplans. “

Johnson is joined at Enclave at Wills Park by fellow Neighborhood Sales Manager, Tim Parker.
