TOWNE ACRES AREA
Broadly defined, children in this area go to Towne Acres Elementary. Nearest subdivisions (some very small) to the school are Avondale Forest, Greenfield Heights, Charbray, Green Acres, and Camelot. This report covers only the area closest to the school. Ask me about the other fine neighborhoods nearby.
HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD - I can give you information about all of them and will be glad to show you whatever you want to see, here or elsewhere in the area, anything listed with any company. As of October 10, 2010, there are seven homes on the market in the area nearest Towne Acres Elementary, and a number also in the other neighborhoods in the TA Elementary district. Prices in the immediate area range, as fairly typically, from $160s to about $300,000, with a range of styles. Examples: $275,000 - Tudor rancher, 3 BR, 3 BA $299,500 - Cape. 4 BR. 3 BA $249,900 - Colonial, 4 BR, 2 BA
So far in 2010, there have been seven sales in the neighborhood - my two most recent ones being really special ramblers on Clover and Avondale, right at $200,000. The colonial on Sharon was a bargain at $278,000, and the colonial on Lizabeth selling for $300,000 - a great plan very similar to the one we sold on Lizabeth when we moved to Sharon.
People choose Towne acres for the school, for the pleasure of living on pretty winding streets with the curb appeal of pretty homes and mature trees and landscaping, and for the convenience of being in a quiet area that is so near shopping, restaurants, commuter routes, and medical facilities. Often they choose it because their friends live here.

This site is a neighborhood service, covering the areas usually thought of as "Towne Acres" because of the elementary school - Towne Acres, Greenfield Heights, Avondale, Villas as Browns Mill, Charbray Acres, Green Acres, Biltmore Estates, Camelot, and part of Knob Creek Road Neighbors are invited to submit content, news, ideas. Make it "ours" instead of "mine."
*You can help this web page get better, with your suggestions and content. This is not an "official" site - I just thought it would be good to have useful and interesting information readily available. Much of the information below links to my main site, www.TNTriCitiesHomes.com .
I support every effort to get information to the community and to help people have a voice. Adding e-mail addresses to the volunteer checklist is a step in this direction. Other communities I've been involved in have had success with contacting people by e-mail - quicker and much less expensive and time-consuming, although other methods need to be used for those who do not use e-mail or do not want to give out their addresses. Many also have a community directory.
