Countries all over Europe have embraced and implemented the roundabout to solve traffic issues for many years and now Woodstock wants to emulate this solution to traffic congestion. While I doubt Chevy Chase will ever get stuck viewing the landmarks from a roundabout in Woodstock, he may find that getting around downtown will be much easier in the future.The Cherokee Ledger-News recently reported...The roundabouts tentatively would be located at Mill St. and Towne Lake Parkway, Neese Road and Arnold Mill, and perhaps near Columbia Creek apartments on Arnold Mill. “We would almost create an east/west main street through the downtown area,” said Richard McLeod, director of planning and economic development for the city. McLeod presented the council with a conceptual design of what would b... 12/14/2006

As everyone in Woodstock now knows, the DownTown Woodstock project by HedgeWood Homes is moving along.  The commercial section is up right along mainstreet, and the high end luxury homes are being completed as we speak.  This is going to be great for the city of Woodstock!  The traffic on the other hand has not been dealt with.  Now I have just received word from a city planner contact of mine, that Hedgewood is buying another 30 acres on the West Side of Main Street behind Bank of Woodstock.  Wow!  They submitted there zoning to take it to 20 units in an acre.  It will be a mix of residential and commercial.  The New Development will be called Woodstock West, and will comply with the Down Town Woodstock Master Plan.  This is a very exciting plan for the Woodstock Real Estate market! 10/19/2006

Ok, I just have to rant here.  There are some problems we are facing in downtown Woodstock.  With the traffic on I575, and the New Downtown Woodstock construction, buy Hedgewood Homes, the city is near grid-lock.  The plans for loosening up the grid-lock all call for completion dates of 2008.  That is to far away!!  How are we going take clients around and plan a day for showing 8-10 homes.  I'm sure this is a common story in cities all around the United States, but this is a first in this town.  I wonder what the city planners where thinking when they allowed the zoning for these projects with insufficient infrastructure.  We are now seeing bad delays even on the weekend!  Woodstock Real Estate is still going strong, I just hope this grid-lock doesnt throw a wrench into it! 10/16/2006

Woodstock GA Real Estate has had a slower time with new construction as of lately, due to the high price of land.  Developers are moving north towards Canton and Ballground where land is a little cheaper per acre overall than Woodstock.  High Density type of construction is common on Hwy 92 in Woodstock.  Townhomes, condos, and cluster homes are the new rage here.  In Woodstock's backyard, you still have some larger tract communities going up, such as Olde Heritage. 10/13/2006
