In April, Jim Chapman Communities sold 24 homes throughout its active adult communities of The Springs at Sterling on the Lake, Brookhaven at Johns Creek, Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge, Brookhaven of East Cobb and Brookhaven of Sugarloaf. This marked the active adult builder’s best sales month in its history.

“April was a great month for us and proves that buyers are coming back from an unsteady time,” explained Kelly Dempsey, vice president of sales and marketing for Jim Chapman Communities. “I’d like to thank our staff and sales team for working so hard and loving what they do. They make the buying process for our clients simple and enjoyable.”

In addition to a hard working team, Jim Chapman Communities offers gorgeous ranch homes from the mid $200,000s. These homes feature all brick and stone construction with inviting front porches, livable floor plans, vaulted ceilings, oversized master suites, optional screened porches and bonus rooms with full baths.

Communities are gated with award-wining clubhouses. These include meeting/private dining rooms, exercise facilities, spacious front verandas, heated swimming pools, large vaulted great rooms with wood burning fireplaces and a caterer’s kitchen.

With locations in Flowery Branch, Johns Creek, Cumming, Kennesaw, Duluth and Douglasville, communities are minutes from shopping, restaurants, hospitals and recreation.

Just because you’re over 55, that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun. Many active adults are still out on the roads visiting friends and family during the day or going to work, and then choosing to settle down at night in communities of like minded individuals. If you’re still driving on a regular basis, it’s important  to go through  defensive driver training, so that you can not only learn how to stay alert on the road and prevent accidents, but to also earn special discounts on your car insurance.

AARP is sponsoring a defensive driving class, which is open to all age groups, on Saturday, February 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Northeast Spruill Oaks Library in Johns Creek. The cost is $14 per person, but AARP members can receive a $2 discount if they bring their membership card. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 770-360-8820.

After you brush up on your driving skills, head on over to Brookhaven at Johns Creek from Jim Chapman Communities. We offer a wide variety of single family homes and ranch villa condominiums priced from the $300,000s and designed for the active adult lifestyle. Homeowners still enjoy all of the perks of owning Atlanta real estate that can be tricked out with tons of upgrades, while also benefiting from low maintenance exteriors.

Community amenities such as our deluxe clubhouse with heated pool, cards room, pool table room, big screen TV, two kitchens and fitness center; community garden; sports courts; lighted tennis courts and walking trails also help facilitate an active, social lifestyle.

Residents enjoy living in the up and coming Johns Creek location close to the Johns Creek Arts Center, Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Athletic Club, Saint Marlo Country Club Shakerag Park, Emory Johns Creek Hospital, North Point Mall and much more.
