JIM CHAPMAN COMMUNITIES COOKS UP TASTY RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - Start with one of Atlanta's most desirable locations, add a pinch of privacy and the security one gets with a gated community, a healthy shake of exceptionally crafted, maintenance ­free homes in a neighborhood catering exclusively to the 55 plus crowd (nobody under 18 years of age is eligible to reside there) and you have one sweet recipe for home sales success. The proof is in the pudding.

Jim Chapman Communities' Brookhaven at Johns Creek just closed on their last home of 66 in Phase I. Even more noteworthy is the fact that home site pre­sales in Phase II, only available since late April, now total 37 to date! It is a pace that shocks some industry insiders, but not Jim Chapman, president of Jim Chapman Communities. "We are providing all of the components that are most important to this growing market segment," says Chapman. "These buyers are accustomed to quality, convenience and comfort, but are ready to let go of the relentless maintenance and upkeep of the traditional single ­family homes from which they are coming. Our communities provide that perfect balance and sales are brisk at our Active Adult communities all over the city."

While certainly there are many savory ingredients in this popular recipe, the special touches and meticulous craftsmanship are the trademarks of Jim Chapman products. Every home complies with the new ALL Home Program promoting accessibility through use of wide doorways, ample maneuvering space in the baths and shower and zero­ step entries from the garage into the house itself. Chapman says that his Active Adult homes are constructed with the same passion, commitment and craftsmanship as his custom, luxury homes. "We take great pride in our work," says Chapman, "and it shows in every detail of a Jim Chapman Communities home."

If you want to see what all of the buzz is about, model homes are open daily at Brookhaven at Johns Creek, Monday ­Saturday 11am-­6pm and Sunday 1-­6pm. If you want to purchase there, you may want to hurry. This hot dish is going fast!
