Powder Springs, GA Real Estate News

Powder Springs’s Memorial Day capped a weekend that had all the expected Mem Day activities—including the feeling that summer is close at hand. Actual summer may not arrive in Powder Springs until the summer solstice on Wednesday—but especially in years like this one, when Memorial Day is just a few days removed from the start of hurricane season (officially on Thursday), it clearly marks high time to check whether enough charcoal briquettes overwintered from last fall.You don’t have to have a primary or vacation home that might be affected by hurricanes to mark June 1 as the point in the year when summer weather makes news. The official start of hurricane season is said to be when mid-Atlantic storms usually begin to get going in earnest. Ninety-seven percent of Atlantic tropical cyclo...

Today, I'm multi-tasking.  I am sitting on my front porch, typing a blog on ActiveRain and hosting a yard sale.  My home was overrun this year as I took over my brother's estate and I am now finally ready to let go.  Maybe some of his items will find useful new homes and a little of him and his wonderful energy and nature will carry on through the light of the universe.   Several of the people that are stopping by are from my own neighborhood.  What a wonderful way to meet the neighbors and introduce myself as a specialist right here at "home"! I have listed and sold about a half a dozen homes over the years in our Powder Springs community of Country Lake and Country Lake Farm and I love the neighborhood!  We are an older subdivision, so we have larger lots (1/4 to 3/4 of an acre) than ...

In my opinion, Country Walk is hands down the best neighborhood in Powder Springs. I can say that, because I live here! Built in the early 90’s, the neighborhood has beautiful, mature landscaping and trees. Neighbors take care of their homes and properties, and the homeowners association is top notch. The neighbors that take the time to serve on the board are thoughtful and fair, and work hard to maintain property values for everyone. With over 400 homes in the neighborhood, that’s no small feat! Amenities Country Walk cares about its amenities. The neighborhood has a very active tennis community. Alta teams play in the area often, and enjoy the newly resurfaced courts. The pool is the biggest draw in the neighborhood when school is out. Unlike other neighborhoods, when the pool is open...

A fantastic article was just published in the local paper about the great work that Jeanne Walker has been doing the last couple of years as the principal of Tapp Middle School in Powder Springs. Here is a link to the article. Those of us who live and work in the West Cobb area know that the schools have often gotten a bad reputation. Cobb County in general is known for Nationally ranked high schools, high standards, and high parent involvement. Not so much for the western side of the county.  But all that is changing! Talking to parents who have children in Vaughn Elementary, Powder Springs Elementary, Tapp Middle School, and especially Mceachern High School, you wouldn't know about that reputation. Most of the parents I speak to are involved and happy about the improvements they are s...
