Chamblee Signal -Official Newsletter of Chamblee, GA May June 2019

by

Chamblee Official Newsletter Chamble SignalChamblee is a great community located along the Gold line of MARTA, North and slightly East of Midtown Atlanta. Once upon a time it was a sleepy town with it’s main street an example of what it was…Peachtree Industrial Blvd. But times have changed, and the Chamblee Signal -Official Newsletter of Chamblee is a great city publication about what’s happening in the city.

Here are the highlights of the May-June, 2019 issue:

Community Involvement in Comp Plan

A Comprehensive Plan is one of the most important documents any city can have in place. It’s the “road map” of where the city is headed in the future….the “vision” if you will. The first round of meetings referenced in the Signal happened earlier this month. You can learn more about the upcoming meetings and this process at OneChamblee.com 

Facade Grant Program

Started by the Chamblee Downtown Development Authority (DDA) five years ago, this program is instrumental to the revitalizing and redevelopment of the Downtown Chamblee area. You can learn more about the DDA at DowntownChamblee.com

2019 National Wiffle Championship

Ahhhh…..don’t really know what to say. Best read the Signal, and you will find a link to it below. 

PDK – A Hub for Business

Indeed, the SECOND busiest airport in GEORGIA sits right in Chamblee….Dekalb_peachtree, also known as PDK. While the airport primarily serves private aircraft, Ultimate Air Shuttle provides scheduled passenger service to Cleveland, Ohio and Charlotte, NC. 

Chamblee Dining on the Rise

Along with the new apartment buildings and Peachtree Station Shopping Center comes more dining options. From Bad Daddy’s Burgers to Chronic Tacos, Gu’s Kitchen, La Garde, The Alden and more….residents and visitors alike have many new dining options, and more will certainly follow as the Downtown area redevelops and the new apartment buildings open up.

Chamblee GA 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report

by

2018 Chamblee Year End Real Estate Market ReportChamblee, Georgia is found between Brookhaven and Doraville. In recent years, this sleepy “little town” has become a vibrant place to live with existing single family neighborhoods, numerous condo options and now, new single family and townhome construction. Also it’s prime location  ITP (Inside The Perimeter) has made home values rise dramatically in the past few years. 

In this post, we want to focus on the 2018 real estate year in Chamblee and what the real estate market was like. You can find more information about Chamblee here.

 

Chamblee GA 2018 Year End Real Estate Market Report

Disclaimer: The 30341 Zip Code, which is the primary one for the city, extends WELL beyond the actual boundaries of the City of Chamblee. Therefore, we have worked to limit the scope of this report to real estate sales specifically in the City. But, you will also find homes listed with Chamblee as the city that are not actually inside the Chamblee City limits. 

Single Family Homes

In 2018, there were 158 single family homes sold, ranging in price from $153,300 to $880,000. Yes, that is quite the range of home prices. But Chamblee still has “up and coming” areas with recent annexation of areas between Buford Highway and I-285, and more established areas like Huntley Hills, which has started to see new infill construction, and then new construction communities like The Collection at Perimeter Park that has both single-family and townhome options. 

Chamblee values (i.e. prices) have risen dramatically in recent years, but as we mentioned there are still several areas where homes can be purchased and with renovations, theses neighborhoods will likely see their prices rise in the future as well.

Condominiums/Townhomes

This ever popular type of home, both condominium and townhomes, has options in both in Chamblee. Most of the condominium-type communities are located close to Downtown Chamblee and the MARTA station, making them convenient for people who may work in Midtown or Downtown. The arrival of the Whole Foods Market and Peachtree Station shopping center have also been a great addition to the area. 

In 2018, there 111 sales, ranging in price from $175,000 at Lofts at 5300 to $526,592 at the new Townsend Chamblee townhome community on Chamblee Dunwoody Road.  There are several new townhome communities under construction in the area, and several others in development stages.

Chamblee Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event

You know you’ve got that “stuff” in your garage. Or you Basement. Or even under your kitchen sink. Household Hazardous Waste. 

Chamblee Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event

All of this nasty stuff is even more nasty when it ends up in our landfills and someday seeps into the water table where our drinking water comes from. Not good stuff then. But we’ve got a place for Chamblee residents to get rid of it all. 

And yes….Chamblee Residents ONLY!

When:     Saturday, August 25th — 9AM – 1PM

Where:    Plaza Fiesta — 4166 Buford Highway — (Northeastern Parking Lot along Dresden Drive)

First Annual Chamblee Christmas Parade

The First Annual Chamblee Christmas Parade was a hit!!!

Unfortunately, we were called out of town on business and missed the event. But it was well attended, despite the cold weather, and Mayor Eric Clarkson is confident the parade will grow and become an annual Chamblee tradition and event!

Buford Highway: Food From Around the World

by

Buford Highway Food From Around the World

If you love to eat out, then you probably keep tabs on the restaurant opening and closings. And that can almost be a full time job. They can be in a prominent location like Mi Cocina in Midtown which just closed this past week!  And then, you’ll see an opening of another restaurant someplace else….

But there might be World Restaurant Row that you have yet to experience…..and that is Atlanta’s Buford Highway Food From Around the World!

First impressions many have are of run-down apartment complexes, less-than-pretty strip malls…and lots of people walking on man-made trails due to the lack of sidewalks. All of the above is starting to change, but the exotic cuisine from some 20 plus countries is still there for the enjoyment.

The Buford Highway Corridor runs through Brookhaven, Chamblee and Doraville. Here you will find Chinese, Mexican, Korean, Central American, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Indian, South America, Japan and some delish bakeries including Sweet Hut, which has a store right in Midtown at Metropolis!!

To learn more about this food-arama that is not to far from you…check out this great article by the Travel Channel —

Atlanta’s Buford Highway : Global Food Paradise

Getting to Buford Highway is a pretty straight shot from Midtown! If driving, you just take West Peachtree to the Buford Highway Connector (which will take you to the GA400 merge as well as I-85 North. But you take neither…you just head North on Buford Highway.
