Two of the most common questions we get from families buying new homes are, “What’s the best school district for my kids?” or “We love this home, is it in a good school district?”

These can be very subjective questions as different parents value different elements of their children’s education. Fortunately, we have found two great websites to help parents answer these important questions for their own families.

The first website is www.greatschools.net and the second is www.schooldigger.com. Both sites allow you to see various rankings, test scores, parental reviews and lots of other helpful information.

Just 3 blocks from Atlanta’s very popular Grant Park and walking distance from Turner Field, is our Summerhill Home of the Day. A recent price reduction of $50,000 makes this 4 bedroom, 3 and half bath home a great value for in town living.

107 Glenn Street has gleaming hardwood floors, trey ceilings and a beautifully tiled bathroom. There is also a bonus room on the main and a 1 car garage with plenty of additional parking space, an uncommon bonus for many Grant Park homes.

It’s not every day you find a meticulously maintained home with so much space and location to offer. The owners have moved and are motivated to sell so please contact us if you would like to see this home.

Built in 1910, our Poncey Highland Home of the Day was the original home of Atlanta’s Griffith School of Music. Absolutely beaming with character, this home is on the National Historic Register and is original down to the claw foot bathtubs and antique light switches.

Plate glass transoms and dark coffered ceiling beams bring you back to the early 1900’s when these features were functional and not just fashionable like so many homes today. And you can be sure this home has been impeccably cared for.
