WHY IT WORKED: Buyers flocked to the well-priced homes at North Village, one of four initial neighborhoods at Harmony on the Lakes, a 630-acre master planned community that will eventually feature more than 1,400 homes, 100,000 square feet of retail and office space, and a day-care center.
- North Village is the only neighborhood in the area that features a neotraditional rear-entry garage product. Patrick Malloy Communities is currently the only builder at Harmony providing ranch-style houses.
- The best-selling Roanoke model (shown) packs a lot into its modest 1,500 square feet, including a large master bedroom suite, two covered porches, and a two-car garage at the rear alley.
The topography at North Village called for a percentage of basement homesites. To accommodate this, the builder came up with the Carriage Collection, a variation of its popular Cottage Collection, so that a basement could be included.PROJECT CREDITSProject: North Village, Harmony on the Lakes, Holly Springs, Ga.; Sales started: April 2004; Sales through Aug. 15, 2006: 106; Units planned: 173; Price: $180,900 to $280,900; Unit size: 1,452 to 2,737 square feet; Builder/Architect: Patrick Malloy Communities, Carrollton, Ga.; Developer/Land planner: The Macauley Cos., Atlanta; Interior designer: Focus Interior Design, Atlanta
