While August marks Back-to-School for many Atlanta families, did you know that it also heralds the arrival of Family Fun Month? In between homework sessions and the return to extracurricular activities, you and your brood can squeeze in some last-minute summer fun at these popular Atlanta destinations, conveniently located near Paran Homes communities throughout the metro area!

Six Flags Over Georgia: Listed among Atlanta’s most popular destinations, Six Flags over Georgia showcases its fair share of thrills with nearly a dozen roller coasters and opportunities to chill at the onsite water park called Hurricane Harbor. Add carnival-themed games, a variety of food outlets, a Looney Tunes parade of characters, kid-friendly rides and holiday-centric events like Fright Nights and the illuminating Holiday in the Park, and it’s no wonder why this 290-acre theme park has been going strong in Atlanta since 1967! Paran Homes has a presence nearby at Sweetwater Landing in Powder Springs – with single-family homes priced from the Mid $200’s. Another major draw in this neck of the woods for Sweetwater Landing residents is SunTrust Park – the NEW home of the Atlanta Braves.

Stone Mountain Park: Located a “stone’s throw” from Paran Homes’ The Woods of Midvale in Tucker – featuring homes priced from the Low $500’s – Stone Mountain Park draws nearly 4 milliion guests each year. This year-round destination boasts a 3200-acrea park surrounding the world’s largest exposed mass of granite. In addition to attractions like the Summit Skyride and Scenic Railroad, Stone Mountain plays host to a number of events like SnowMountain, Yellow Daisy Festival, The Pumpkin Festival and Stone Mountain Christmas – among others. It is perhaps best known for its famed LaserShow Spectacular – a laser light display set to music and beamed onto the face of the mountain during seasonal months. An annual parking pass affords families with access to all of the events, prime picnic spots and a network of walking trails.

Lake Lanier: Encompassing 38,000 surface acres and 690 miles of shoreline in Northeast Georgia, Lake Lanier is one of the United States’ most popular man-made lakes. With a number of marinas offering boat rentals, fun seekers can enjoy boating and water sports on the open water or fishing and swimming in one of the lake’s many tranquil coves. For some added fun, make the trip to Lanier Islands Resort – showcasing the NEW Margaritaville on Lanier with its water slides, white sandy beach, events and restaurants. Nearby in Cumming, Paran Homes is pleased to present The Lakes at Franklin Goldmine with homes priced from the Mid $300’s.

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park: Showcasing single-family homes priced from the High $200’s, Oakleigh Pointe in Dallas boasts an AWESOME amenities package that features a stunning Clubhouse for community gatherings, Jr. Olympic-sized swimming pool with a water slide & splash pad, tennis courts, playground, and dog park. But when it’s time to venture beyond the boundaries of this incredible Paran Homes’ community, you may want to head for the hiking trails and wide-open fields of Kennesaw Mountain. In addition to its historical significance, the natural splendor of this national site makes for one great picnic and an impromptu cornhole championship.

City of Athens: Traditions of Braselton – showcasing a blend of spec and custom homes priced from the Low $300’s – is located at the midpoint between Downtown Atlanta and the City of Athens. While the City of Atlanta holds more than its fair share of draws – between the World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, Zoo Atlanta, High Museum, Fox Theatre… the list goes on and on, Athens continues to grow in its appeal year-after-year. At the heart of it all is the gorgeous University of Georgia campus and Stanford Stadium, where you can watch the Dawgs take on a series of rivals between the hedges. Athens also has a great downtown area, a number of parks and an incredible foodie-focused dining scene. If you haven’t been in awhile, pack up the family and go exploring!

Lake Allatoona: Ideally suited for growing families, homes inside Chestnut Farms in Kennesaw are priced from the low $400’s. A definite perk to living here is the community’s proximity to the sprawling and sparkling waters of Lake Allatoona. From campgrounds to marinas, it’s a terrific destination to while away an afternoon or an entire weekend – boating, swimming, fishing, picnicking or just relaxing and enjoying the Great Outdoors.

Coolray Field: Catch a Gwinnett Stripers minor league baseball game or an Atlanta United 2 FC soccer game at this Gwinnett County destination, conveniently located near Paran Homes’ Heritage Pointe in Lawrenceville. Homes in Heritage Pointe are priced from the High $200’s. Coolray Field presents a great opportunity to sit among your neighbors – whether under blue skies or a starry night – and enjoy some sports spectating blended with loads of fresh air. Please pass the peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks®!

Paran Homes Unveils Professionally Decorated Model Home to Represent Its Stunning Collection of New Construction Homes Priced from the $400’s

Duluth, Ga, May 18, 2018 – Serving as a “slice of life” for visitors to Chestnut Farms in Kennesaw, the professionally merchandised model home at the West Cobb community is now open to the public. Merchandised by Tracy Cook of Design Etc., the home represents one of the builder’s most popular floor plans – the stately and sophisticated Manchester, showcasing over 3,600 square feet of living space including four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms at the heart of the Kennesaw neighborhood.

“Our model homes set the stage for homebuyers,” said Paran Homes’ President, Michael Rosenberg. “As they step through the front door and travel through each room, we want them to have an immersive experience where they can envision their family gathering around the dining room table for the holidays or sharing stories about the day’s events around the massive island in the kitchen. When they see the upstairs media space, we want them to imagine their kids happily playing there or knocking out their homework before dinnertime. And when they stroll through the expansive master suite, it’s our hope that they can see themselves beginning and ending each day in that space as part of their own personal ‘happily ever after.’ Tracy has done an amazing job painting a picture of what life might be like if one lived in Chestnut Farms.”

The designer drew inspiration from the home itself when planning her design, which features elements of white on white and soft hues juxtaposed against dark wood floors, textured upholstery and dramatic accent pieces. Seeking a “less is more” approach, she endeavored to make the design as functional as it is fetching with a homework station in the media room and a drop station near the garage for family members to drop their book bags, laptop bags and purses while charging their smartphones for the next day.

“There is a lot of natural light in this home – it’s an inviting, happy place,” recalled Cook. “I wanted to keep the look fresh, clean and uncluttered. We all have so much clutter in our daily lives. This home represents the ideal we all want for our own lives – a clutter-free, tranquil, joyful space to raise a family.”

Cook describes the design as vintage meets modern with distressed wood pieces, antique elements and thoroughly current upholstered furnishings. Some of her personal favorites include the stylish dining room, home office with partners desk and reclaimed shutter as an eye-catching wall accent, and serene master suite.

“I love all of Paran Homes’ special unexpected, practical touches, like the soft-close drawers in the kitchen, abundance of storage spaces throughout, generously sized bedrooms, upstairs laundry room that’s accessible from the master closet and spacious covered back porch with fireplace. My absolute favorite element of this home is the must-see oversized shower in the master bath. It’s like everyday is a spa day!”

The Manchester is just one of seven floor plans available at Chestnut Farms – which represents a collection of 36 new construction homes priced from the low $400’s. Conveniently located near I-75, Chestnut Farms’ residents will enjoy convenience to a wealth of recreational outlets like Lake Allatoona and Kennesaw Mountain, upscale shopping destinations such as The Avenue West Cobb and Town Center Mall, and a number of highly revered schools. Homeowners in the Kennesaw community also enjoy the Main Street charm of its historic downtown area, low Cobb County taxes and close proximity to SunTrust Park – the new home of the Atlanta Braves. There’s also the promise of countless family-friendly events hosted at the iconic Marietta Square, Downtown Kennesaw and Downtown Acworth.

In addition to Chestnut Farms and its two other West Cobb communities at Silver Springs Village and Sweetwater Landing, Paran Homes has a presence in another seven new home communities throughout the Atlanta area. Beyond Georgia, Paran Homes also boasts communities in Tennessee .

Regional Builder to Host Eight Public Events at Its Communities throughout Metro Atlanta in May and June

Duluth, Ga, May 17, 2018 – As a regional builder with a solid reputation for its innovative designs and quality craftsmanship, Paran Homes knows a thing or two about creating a “sense of welcome.” Today, they gave that phrase a more literal meaning with the release of a marathon of Open Houses at a number of its communities throughout Metro Atlanta. Each of these events is open to the public and presents prospective home buyers with an opportunity to explore the neighborhood, tour available homes, interact with the on-site agent and meet with a lender.

“From the thoughtful placement of our communities to special convenience-inspired innovations in our home designs, Paran Homes places a great deal of emphasis on making life easier for our home owners,” said Lesa Ness – Marketing Manager for Paran Homes. “We’ve carried that same approach over to the home buying side with Open Houses that are designed to be a one-stop shop for our guests who are ready to make the move from house hunting to home buying. At the end of the day, they could walk away with a closing date for a move-in ready home or a contract to launch construction on their new Paran Home.”

Southeast Homebuilder Believes that Communication is the Key to Its Success for the Remainder of 2018 and Beyond

 Duluth, GA, April 18, 2018 –  Benjamin Franklin perhaps said it best… “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” With eyes firmly set on success, Metro Atlanta-based regional home builder – Paran Homes – is instituting a culture that is geared toward preparation and pre-planning… even if that means adding an extra step. In an industry filled with production builders that hit the ground running on multiple projects with the assumption that their sub-contractors know what they’re doing, Paran Homes is taking a little inspiration from the season associated with transformation and growth. As Spring 2018 continues to take shape all around the world, a new pre-construction culture will take shape at Paran Homes.

“When we launch a new community or unveil a new floor plan, the leadership team at Paran Homes always has a clear vision of what that neighborhood or home will look like upon completion and the ambiance it will convey for years to come,” said Josh Paterson, VP of Construction for Paran Homes. “We understand the steps needed to make that vision a reality. By instituting a pre-construction culture and bringing more players into the fold prior to construction, we’ll be ensuring that everyone is on board with that vision, have a clearer understanding of any obstacles to that vision, and possibly share ideas that could make that vision even better. Paterson continued, “Our Sales and Construction team members then outline the entire process to our buyers. They also review specific home plans for their lot, as well as all personalized design center selections in order to eliminate any errors, ultimately giving our home buyers peace of mind.”

Other advantages to pre-construction meetings at Paran Homes include:

• Providing a forum for team members to ask any questions they may have about the new community or floor plan
• Encouraging the team to set performance goals and consider best methods to achieve those goals
• Setting a timeline and holding all parties accountable for adhering to that timeline
• Outlining any required city, county and state forms and documents
• Establishing a clear, more formal starting point
• Best of all, minimizing the frequency of “mistakes” due to miscommunication and – as a result – keeping construction costs in line

Paterson adds, “We’re convinced that the incorporation of pre-construction meetings to our process is not just the right thing to do for our company, it’s also the right thing to do for our prospective home owners. In the end, the results will be a stronger team, a streamlined construction process and – ultimately – a collection of imaginative new home communities filled with beautifully crafted, quality constructed houses by Paran Homes.”

Regional Homebuilder Debuts Professionally Decorated Model Home at Newest West Cobb Community

Duluth, GA, March 30, 2018 – After witnessing highly favorable responses from homebuyers to its West Cobb communities at Thomason Park and Silver Springs Village in the City of Powder Springs, Paran Homes added a third community to the mix with Sweetwater Landing in late 2016. Now selling single-family, Craftsman-inspired homes priced from the mid $200,000’s, Sweetwater Landing has recently debuted its new model home to the public. Professionally merchandised by interior designer, Joy Kirkland of Innovative Interiors, the home showcases the three-story Piedmont floor plan – one of fifteen floor plans available at Sweetwater Landing.

“While Sweetwater Landing proves appealing to a wide variety of homebuyers, I used the ‘growing active family’ as my inspiration for the design of this community’s model home,” explained Kirkland. “The Piedmont floor plan is ideal for engaging family members, whether enjoying dinner in the large gourmet kitchen or playing games and watching movies together in the media room. I highlighted all of the secondary bedrooms with warm paint colors, creating a cozy space for children to relax and enjoy being home. Of course, my favorite space I’ve created for this home is the master bedroom. I wanted to keep the room soft and ethereal, making this a luxurious retreat for the homeowners. I love the classic pieces and scale of the room.”

In addition to serving as design inspiration for visitors, the model home features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, game room, media room, spacious kitchen, sprawling owners’ suite and all the bells and whistles. Intended to give homebuyers a sense of what life could be like at Sweetwater Landing, the model home is just one example of more than a dozen available floor plans, which offer a blend of 1-to-3-story homes featuring 3-to-6-bedrooms, front or rear-entry garages and upscale interior finishes that include coffered ceilings, wainscoting, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens and more.

“While our new, beautifully merchandised model home certainly enhances the sense of welcome and appeal at Sweetwater Landing, this community already offers its fair share of attraction for Atlanta homebuyers thanks to a great amenity package, low Cobb County taxes and a terrific location,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “Not only is the community located within walking distance of Powder Springs charming downtown area and the ballfields, playgrounds, picnic areas and swimming pool of Powder Springs Park, Sweetwater Landing is located a short drive from many of Atlanta’s most popular destinations. Sweetwater Landing residents can enjoy making regular excursions to Downtown Atlanta, braving the rollercoasters at Six Flags Over Georgia, hiking Kennesaw Mountain and catching an Atlanta Braves game at SunTrust Park.”

To get to Sweetwater Landing from Atlanta, take I-20 West to GA-6W/Thornton Rd-Exit 44 and follow it for 8.7 miles. The community will be ahead on the right. For GPS users, the address is 4686 Sweetwater Avenue in Powder Springs.
