Cobb County Homes have Amenities to Help Families Beat the Heat


Moving to Atlanta during the summer can be a bit tough, but homebuyers should not let the hot temperatures get them down. Instead, they should buy Cobb County homes in communities that are fully equipped with amenities to get their residents through the summer.

Traton Homes’ community Rockford Township in Marietta provides residents with a beautiful swimming pool and cabana area, which are excellent ways to escape the Georgia heat. Lochshire, in Acworth, even has a mushroom water fountain that is perfect for kids.

These communities also provide families with other activities to take pleasure in, including playgrounds and tennis courts. New homeowners can take a break from their unpacking or get to know their new neighbors while sitting out watching their kids enjoy the playground or by playing a friendly match of tennis.

No matter what amenities residents take part in, they get to experience the luxury of having it right in their own community all year long.

With prices ranging from the $180,000s to the $700,000s, Traton Homes has numerous Atlanta homes for sale throughout the metro Atlanta area, and would love for homebuyers to experience the ‘Altogether More’ lifestyle that comes with buying a Traton home.

Fun Farwell Celebration at Habersham Grove With The Orchards Group


Even in tough economic times, The Orchard’s Group still has every reason to celebrate! Back in March, The Orchards Group sold its last active adult homes in its gorgeous community on Lake Lanier, Habersham Grove. As a final farewell and toast to the community's success, the builder held a luncheon for residents to celebrate and enjoy delicious food.

The event was catered with delicious low country barbecue. Residents enjoyed mingling with other neighbors, while spending time with The Orchards Group staff. Even though this was a farewell luncheon, the staff will stay in touch with residents in this tight-knit community.

"It was great seeing all of the homeowners again. They have really become a part of my extended family," said Stacy Wheelus, social director for The Orchards Group.
Although all of the homes at Habersham Grove have been sold, The Orchards Group still has new home opportunities from the $240,000s at TheOrchards of Brannon Oak Farm in Cumming.
