What’s Happening on the West Side?

Metro Atlanta has so much wonderful history, art, entertainment, and activities that it can be difficult to focus on the area that’s right for you when looking for your forever home. At Paran Homes, we pride ourselves on delivering superior value to every home buyer by offering quality homes at affordable prices in exciting metro Atlanta locations and beyond.

In the Metro Atlanta area, we build in strategic locations where buyers want to be. Our Oakleigh Pointe community in Dallas, Georgia gives you easy access to highways, great schools, and shopping so you can really settle in and make it your own. No matter if you’re just starting your family, have kids in school, or have retired and are looking for an easier lifestyle, we’ve got the home for you.

Let’s take a look at the West Side of Metro Atlanta. Not as famous as downtown Atlanta or Decatur on the east side, the northwest region is the quiet little friend with pockets full of treasures that you may not even realize are there. Our Paran Homes builders have created some of these treasures for you.

55+ Comfort and Convenience in Powder Springs

Baby Boomers are known for their independence. The generation works hard, plays hard, and doesn’t want to be told what to do. Naturally, as boomers get older, they are embracing the idea of aging in place.

The National Institute of Health agrees that the best way to maintain good health for a long life is to stay active, surround yourself with loved ones, and interact with the community. Our builders at Paran Homes recognize this and have designed a place that enables young-at-heart home buyers who are age 55+ to find comfort and convenience with an easy life in a beautiful home. We proudly introduce Creekwood, a new luxurious and thoughtfully designed community in Powder Springs.
