Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence

Founded in 1988, Peachtree Residential Properties has been listening to its customers for 25 years and building homes that meet their needs. During this time, the privately held local builder has maintained a reputation of high integrity and exceptional homes by focusing on not only the best designs and locations, but also a deep respect for our customers and associates.

“We are going to do something special for the group of people that have made it all happen, our employees” explained Dave Borreson, CEO of Peachtree Residential Properties. “They all have worked very hard and make customer satisfaction a top priority and part of their daily lives. That is a key ingredient that sets us apart and the main reason that our company is still here and prospering after 25 years.”

“Since 1988, we have sold 4,000 homes,” said Borreson. “We take pride in our hard earned customer satisfaction rating, over 98 percent. Nearly all of our homeowners tell us they will refer others to our communities or buy another Peachtree Residential home themselves.”

Peachtree Residential Properties currently builds in 12 new home communities in Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett and Hall counties. The company builds luxury residences in some of Atlanta’s finest communities.  For more information about Peachtree Residential Properties and its 25^th anniversary, visit the website.

With great weather and summer around the corner, nearly every city will soon have its own farmers market which specializes in locally grown produce and products.  At the Downtown Alpharetta Farmers’ Market you will find farmers with fruits, vegetables and natural meats, gardeners with fresh flowers and herbs, and makers of all sorts of edible home goods from yummy desserts and breads to local raw honey and homemade sauces, jellies, soaps. It was named “Best Saturday Morning Excursion” in 2007 by Atlanta Magazine.   “Alpharettans want a downtown where they can easily step out to pick up fruits and vegetables, while shopping with local businesses for a gift and having lunch,” stated Kathy An Kessler of Galerie, a downtown Alpharetta clothing boutique. Many downtown merchants compliment the Farmer’s Market by running sales and specials during market weekends. The market is open to the public and free admission. Beginning April 20th, it has a new location in downtown Alpharetta, GA at the corner of Old Canton St and Miltion Ave.  It is open every Saturday, April 13 through October 12, from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
