Two major developers are planning a $300 mixed use project which will assemble 22 acres of land near Cumberland Mall and the new Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The plan calls for redevelopment of the area around Riverwood 100. In addition to the 505,000 square feet of office space already in place at Riverwood 100, an additional 500,000+ square feet of class A space is planned.

90,000 square feet of retail, 360 condos and 40 lofts are also planned for the new project, which should begin construction in mid 2008.

I couldn’t write an article about Marietta High School ranking in the top 5% of high schools in the country without mentioning the 4 East Cobb high schools that made the list. Listed below are the school and their rank on the list.

1. Walton High School - 120
2. Wheeler High School - 831
3. Pope High School - 837
4. Sprayberry High School - 1168

Now, the criteria for this list wasn’t solely made up of test scores. In fact, test scores weren’t factored in at all. The number of students taking advanced tests were, among other things. Please go to Newsweek’s site to find out exactly how they ranked these public high schools.

Marietta High School was named the 886th ranked high school in the country last week by Newsweek Magazine in their annual list of top public high schools in America.

Now, before you scoff at this an say “886th”, think about the fact that this puts Marietta High School in the top 5% of high schools in the entire United States. Not too shabby.

I’m currently helping two clients purchase lots and build homes in a new infill development on Sewell Mill Road called The Enclave at Adams Oaks. There are going to be 33, four sided brick, home sites all with 3 car, side entry, garages and full daylight basements.

The Enclave at Adams Oaks is located right on Sewell Mill Road (which is exploding with great new homes) between Old Canton Road and East Piedmont. Students in this community will attend the very sought after Walton High School.

Homes will start in the $800’s and there are still many home sites to choose from. If you would like more information about this community or about some of the options you have in building a home here, please use the contact form to find many ways to reach me.
