Builders’ Rapid Redevelopment Startling Residents in Older Sandy Springs Neighborhood

Builders have moved into the Mountaire Springs neighborhood. Dirt trucks and work crews are up and down streets completing new homes that have replaced smaller and older ranch-style houses.

Neighbors say some homeowners are selling to builders for about $200,000. The older homes are torn down and replaced by $800,000 houses.

The new homes are in demand and some are selling before they're completely built.

David Bailey, former president of the Amberidge Homeowners Association, has taken notice.

“In my humble opinion, there is definitely going to be a lot more of this,” he said. “The whole real estate market really turned in the last six months. In the Bridgewood Valley, they scraped four houses in a week to 10 days,”
