Lenox View is an exceptional neighborhood of just nine oversized homesites located in the heart of the Pine Hills neighborhood near I-85 off of North Druid Hills just 2 miles from Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza. John Wieland was chosen by First Citizens Bank as the best builder to complete the project which has been idle for more than a year. Now Lenox View marks a rare opportunity to own a new John Wieland home inside the Perimeter and is distinguished by its large homesites - all at least 85 feet wide - a rare find in this intown Buckhead location.
“John Wieland Homes feels very fortunate to have acquired this unique location,” says John Wieland, the company’s founder and CEO. “Now we’re excited to offer spacious homes at a great value and on these really large homesites - that’s something that’s almost non-existent in this kind of location.” When the neighborhood first began, homesites alone were selling for more than $400,000. New John Wieland homes at Lenox View will be priced from the high $500s and offer at least 4000 square feet of finished space with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, three car garages and optional third floor walk-ups. Plus, all John Wieland homes at Lenox View will be protected by the exclusive Wieland 5 Year - 20 Year Warranty.
Residents of Lenox View also have access to the Roxboro Valley Association Pool and Tennis Club which offers a large 25-meter heated pool, a newly renovated baby pool, a picnic pavilion and lighted tennis courts. Less than one mile from I-85 and just 5 miles from GA 400, The Enclave at Lenox View is ideally located inside the Perimeter minutes to the shopping, dining and entertainment of Buckhead. Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza are just two miles away.
Onsite sales are now open daily at Lenox View. For more information, visit jwhomes.com/lenoxview or call Licensed Sales Professional Adrianna Angelone at 404-841-9699.

John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods is pleased to announce that the company will soon begin construction in Woodstock Downtown, an award-winning mixed use neighborhood in the heart of Woodstock in Cherokee County. In partnership with First Cherokee State Bank, John Wieland plans to complete the residential portion of the neighborhood originally developed by Hedgewood Properties. Woodstock Downtown received a Charter Award from the Congress of New Urbanism in 2008 as well as the coveted Development of Excellence Award from the Atlanta Regional Commission for its walkable community design incorporating onsite retail and restaurants, walking trails, club amenities and friendly front porches.
“We are excited,” says John Wieland. “It’s one of the most outstanding developments in Atlanta, and we are proud to have the opportunity to continue it.” Current plans call for more than 100 new single family homes and townhomes to be constructed on the site, all thoughtfully designed to enhance the current character of the neighborhood and provide a variety of living options for new home buyers. In addition, all new John Wieland homes at Woodstock Downtown will be protected by the exclusive Wieland 5 Year - 20 Year Warranty, homebuilding’s best. Prices are expected to begin in the $200s.
John Wieland has named Jacquie Tracy to handle onsite sales for the new construction at Woodstock Downtown. Tracy comes to Wieland with a 20 year career background in real estate sales and management at Coldwell Banker. “As I drove through Woodstock,” says Jacquie, “I had feelings reminiscent of my childhood and the pleasures of community living. I am excited to have the opportunity to offer John Wieland homes in this great neighborhood location. ”
Woodstock Downtown is conveniently located just one block off of Main Street and Arnold Mill Road in Woodstock. The neighborhood offers an easy commute to Atlanta with convenient access to I-575 and is just minutes to Kennesaw State and Chattahoochee Tech.

In: Tax Credit
20 Apr 2010
The popular $8,000 federal housing tax credit is set to expire April 30, 2010.  The tax credit gives a first time homebuyer a credit up to $8,000 and up to a $6,500 credit for a repeat homebuyer who has owned a home for five consecutive years out of the previous eight years. At this time it does not appear that the government will be extending the tax credit.Â
Time is short! To take advantage of the tax credit a homebuyer must have a binding contract in place by April 30, 2010 and the sale must close by June 30, 2010.  Finally, the government will allow you to purchase your home in 2010 and claim it on your 2009 tax return.Â
Act now! Now is the best time to purchase your new home. The federal tax credit combined with historically low rates and low home prices offers a unique opportunity to purchase your dream home.  For more information on the tax credit visit FederalHousingTaxCredit.com.

Are you thinking about purchasing a new home but have been waiting for the market to turn around? Well, wait no longer because now is the best time to purchase your new home.Â
Since the housing recession began, almost four years ago, land values have dropped to pre-boom levels. So what does that mean? More affordable new homes!  The demand for housing has been fairly consistent; we simply saw the more affordable resale homes capture a larger share of the market. The value of new homes was overburdened by high land cost. However, the correction in the market has brought new home prices back down and now is the best time to purchase a new home. Â
 So Why New?Â
So Why Now?Â
So don’t miss this opportunity. Buy new and buy now.
