Hot Sellers: Urban Oasis

Parkside Walk, Atlanta

By:: Kathleen Stanley

WHY IT WORKED: Buyers love the parklike setting, the distinctive architecture, and the fact that this 26-acre neighborhood is just four miles from downtown Atlanta.

Six-acre natural area features two creeks, walking paths, and old-growth hardwood trees.

The best-selling Parkside Walk floor plan offers vernacular architecture with authentic materials and finishes, plus an open floor plan with plenty of sightlines.

Great garage treatment. The two-car garage with carriage-style doors adds interest to the front elevation.

Standard Pacific released first-quarter earnings post market close last night that beat Wall Street analysts' posted predictions. After a near brush with death in 2008, and life-support from MatlinPatterson's real estate funds, Standard Pacific's strategic, operational, and tactical planning and execution are playing well in what continues to be an adverse market environment in most of its competitive arenas.
