When you’re searching for your new Atlanta home, you want more than just top schools, a convenient commute and nearby amenities. You want to live in a place where you can take a worry-free walk or make a grocery run late at night. You want to feel safe.

We’re pleased to report that we build in some of Georgia’s safest cities. SafeWise recently released its annual list of Georgia’s safest cities, and Peachtree Residential is building five communities in three cities that made the top 10. In #3 Milton, we’re building Hickory Crest and Muirfield Park. In #5 Johns Creek, we offer Shakerag Manor. And In #7 Alpharetta, we’re building Ruth’s Farm and Canton Street Commons.

Each of these safe cities posts a violent crime rate far below one per 1,000 residents and property crimes lower than 20 per 1,000 residents. The numbers are based on the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Data and calculated for Georgia cities that fall above the state’s median size according to population.

In Milton, only one luxury estate home remains in Hickory Crest. Located in the middle of Milton’s horse country, this remaining home is set on a full acre for extra space and privacy. Priced at $954,900, it has five bedrooms, five and a half baths and a three-car garage. The master and a full guest suite are on the main level, with remaining bedrooms, a loft and a bonus room upstairs.

We also are building in Milton’s Muirfield Park, where more than 50% of the luxury estate homes have already sold. The 14 homes in the gated community are situated on private wooded home sites ranging from 1 to 2.4 acres.  Master-on-the-main plans, three- and four-car garages, and soaring two-story family rooms are among the available features. Homes are priced from the $800,000s.

In nearby Johns Creek, ranked Georgia’s 5^th safest city by SafeWise, we offer more estate homes priced from the $800,000s in Shakerag Manor. Only two of 10 estate-sized lots remain. You can select among eight home designs ranging from about 3,500 to more than 5,000 square feet. Like our other estate home communities, you’ll have many choices for modern, open designs, flexible spaces and entertainer’s dream kitchens. Some of our Shakerag Manor families are also choosing gate driveways for extra privacy.

Alpharetta, the oldest and largest of the North Fulton communities where we build, is ranked seventh on SafeWise’s list of safest Georgia cities. We are building both single-family cityhomes and townhomes in Canton Street Commons, where prices range from the high $500,000s to the $800,000s. Located on an infill site in downtown Alpharetta, the designs honor the historical context of the location with varied home elevations that feature Georgian Revival detailing, porches, trellises and garden walls. The cityhomes are two and three stories. Decorative fences and walls at each private garden space connect the homes. The nine alley-served townhomes front Canton Street. The three-story, three-bedroom townhomes offer stunning, spacious designs, two-car garages, and elevators for easy living.

In our final Alpharetta community, Ruth’s Farm, we have just one remaining opportunity, our recently refreshed decorated model home. This established neighborhood is within walking distance of Milton High School and Northwestern Middle School, with sidewalks extending all the way to the restaurants and shops of downtown Alpharetta. The remaining home offers five bedrooms and six and a half baths, including a finished basement with a bonus room, bath and flexible space. As a former model home, it showcases all of Peachtree Residential’s top design choices, too. The home is priced at $759,900.

At Peachtree Residential, we are pleased to continue offering Atlanta area families the top locations for North Fulton new homes. Come see our homes and find out why we build in three of Georgia’s Top 10 Safest Cities. If you’d like more information, please visit www.PeachtreeResidential.com.
