Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods Makes Its Debut in Georgia's Gwinnett County with The River District

ATLANTA - Aug. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Claiming the number five spot of Atlanta’s 100 Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies*, it only makes sense that new homebuilder and developer – Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods – would break ground in one of Metro Atlanta’s counties that has also held the title of “fastest growing” on and off for the past two decades. The leadership team at Acadia Homes has had their eyes on Gwinnett County for some time, and is eager to show Gwinnetians what they can do in their newest community – The River District. In addition to Gwinnett, the Cobb County-based homebuilder is currently building in communities in Cobb, Dekalb, Forsyth, Fulton, and Jackson Counties – stretching from Gainesville in the north metro area to Fairburn in the south.

“From the outset, it has been our mission to help lead Atlanta out of its historic housing crisis,” explains Acadia President and CEO, Gregg Goldenberg. “Ever since we first opened our doors in 2010, we have sought to achieve that by carefully selecting our staff of residential construction and sales veterans, painstakingly designing and building our homes, and thoroughly researching the areas in which we build. Our move to Gwinnett County is indicative of Acadia’s growing influence throughout Metro Atlanta. Historically, Gwinnett has served as a major draw for families because of its excellent schools, award-winning parks, charming town squares, and scenic landscapes. Add to that the fact that The River District is located in Berkeley Lake - a city that is community-centered and environmentally-focused. The lake for which it's named and surrounding forests are as much a part of its unique character as the people who live here. We are extremely happy to be a part of this community and believe it serves as a naturally stunning backdrop for our Signature Collection of homes.”

Offering an extraordinary balance of breathtaking scenery and graceful opulence, The River District is a gated community poised on the shores of the Chattahoochee River in the prestigious City of Berkeley Lake. Showcasing a limited number of distinctive homes from Acadia’s Signature Collection, The River District provides its residents with the height of exclusivity and privacy.  Resort-quality amenities in this enclave of semi-custom luxury homes include riverside pool, open air kitchen, sunset pavilion, outdoor hearth, and walkway to the Chattahoochee Nature Trail. River District residents are eligible for membership in the Berkeley Lakes Homeowners Association, which also affords them with access to beautiful Berkeley Lake, as well as its beach, picnic area, and playground. Representing River District onsite is 20+-year real estate professional and Acadia’s Signature Collection Sales Manager, Virginia Klodt.

“Reminiscent of the charm of old Charleston, the plans at The River District are a classic blend of sophistication and livability,” says Klodt. “Thoughtfully constructed with hands-on attention from the Vice President of Acadia Homes himself – Mr. Jon Roby – the first two homes at The River District both feature Master on Main with a second bedroom and full bath also located on the main level.  All plans boast spacious 3,500+ square footage that include 4 to 5 bedrooms with 3.5 baths and flexible options such as detached garages for a 3^rd automobile, sunrooms, bonus rooms, dual master suites and more. Homeowners get to enjoy the seclusion of a pristine natural setting, as well as accessibility to I-285 and the Peachtree Parkway corridor for ease of commute and convenience to excellent shopping and dining options nearby.”

Students living in The River District attend well-revered Berkeley Lake Elementary, Duluth Middle and Duluth High Schools. For the past seven years, Duluth High School has been named among the top 1000 high schools in the country by Newsweek Magazine and six of its students have been recognized as Governor’s Honors Finalists. Families who prefer a private school education will appreciate the fact that Perimeter Christian School – Duluth and Notre Dame Academy are both located within two miles of the community. With so many lures to the area with regard to education, recreation, and beauty – both Klodt and Goldenberg anticipate a warm reception from the Gwinnett County homebuyer, particularly given the appeal of homes from the Signature Collection.

“The Signature Collection is a terrific fit for both this revival of the housing market and this particular area as it affords the discriminating homebuyer an opportunity to customize a sophisticated floor plan within the margins of an affordable budget,” says Klodt. “It bridges the void between the creativity of a true custom builder and the value of a volume builder. In addition to The River District, Acadia is also currently offering homes from its Signature Collection at The Overlook at Litchfield in Roswell and in the Heart of Dunwoody off Mt. Vernon Road.”

Tours of the community and homes in The River District are available by appointment only. To schedule a visit with Virginia Klodt, CSP, prospective homebuyers and real estate agents are encouraged to call 770-312-2661.
