Press Release: Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods Launches Townsend Series with DeKalb County Debut

Atlanta, July 28, 2015 – Shortly after launching in 2010, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods quickly made its mark on the Atlanta home buying market with a series of single-family floorplan communities located primarily in the suburbs of Metro Atlanta. The award-winning homebuilder also dabbled in a number of active adult and townhome communities in the early years, but primarily kept its focus where it saw the greatest need – in OTP suburbs like Suwanee, Cumming, Braselton, Kennesaw, Milton, Powder Springs, Acworth and beyond. As the market shifts and a larger number of millennials indicate a desire to live intown, Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods answers that call with the debut of a brand new collection of luxury townhome communities called the Townsend Series. Townsend in Decatur will serve as the market’s introduction to Acadia’s latest move to stay true to its tagline “All About You” – the Atlanta home buyer.

“We have a great track record with our townhome communities – among home buyers and our peers,” explained Gregg Goldenberg, President & CEO of Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods. “Our Sutherland Corner and Reserve at City Park communities sold very quickly and were recognized with OBIE awards from the Sales & Marketing Council of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. We have also had very favorable responses to our City Park Townhomes and Kirkwood Green detached townhomes – both of which are also now sold out. We launched a townhome community earlier this year in Smyrna called Sutton Park – and the response has been so positive that it was clear we needed to evolve with the market.”

Marking the first in the series, Townsend at Decatur will be an intimate enclave of just 30 townhomes near the iconic Decatur Square and Your DeKalb Farmers Market. Neighborhood Sales Manager Art Hicks is in the pre-selling stages at the new community, and feels extremely optimistic about the promise that Townsend at Decatur holds. Earlier this year, a focus group of real estate professionals indicated that there is a real need for family-focused townhomes in the Decatur area – due in large part to the excellent reputation of the Decatur City School District, which ranks #2 out of 173 districts according to SchoolDigger.com. As a matter of fact, Decatur High School garnered a Gold Award for Best High Schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2015 – coming in at #17 in Georgia and #476 in the U.S.

“Our placement within the amazing Decatur City School District is huge,” insisted Hicks. “Add to that the fact that our homes will offer three- and four-bedroom floorplans, and Townsend at Decatur proves an excellent fit for millennial families. Not to mention that we are located within 1 mile of Your DeKalb Farmers Market and 2 miles of the historic Decatur Square with all of its eclectic boutiques, kitschy restaurants and incredible community events such as the upcoming AJC Decatur Book Festival, Decatur Arts Festival, Concerts on the Square and more. There’s also a great draw for young professionals thanks to a terrific nightlife and music scene when they’re looking to wind down from a long week at the office. Three-story townhomes in Townsend at Decatur will boast an innovative intown feel with well-appointed finishes and desirable features such as large private decks, two-car garages, open living spaces with a fireplace on the main level and spacious master suites upstairs.”

Soon to follow after the launch of construction in Townsend at Decatur will be the debuts of Townsend at Toco Hills in North Druid Hills and Townsend at Lenox Park near the Brookhaven/Lenox area in fall 2015. Plans for Townsend at Brookhaven near Lenox Park are already in the works for early 2017.
