West End Foreclosures Continue, According to CNN Money

Posted by: lain // Category: West End, Atlanta, Shameless Promotion, Bravery // 3:06 pm

Yesterday CNN Money reported the 100 worst hit zip codes for foreclosures in December of last year.

30310 Ranks 74th in Foreclosures for Decemer 2007 According to Cnn.com

Yikes! 30310, the home of the Wren’s Nest (and yeah, okay, a few other things), was the only representative from Georgia.

It’s not all bad news, however.

For those of you looking for to move inside the Atlanta perimeter, there are some ridiculous deals over here, assuming you’re not afraid of renovating an awesome old house in a cool neighborhood. If Patrick and Steffi can do it, how hard can it be?

In case you’re thinking of moving to West End or Westview, here are a few pluses–

  1. You can hang out with us anytime. Dinner… literally, anytime.
  2. There’s a Krispy Kreme right down the street.

Hank Aaron's Krispy Kreme Lives in West End!

I’m sure there are more reasons, but hey–let’s not get greedy.

In truth, West End is a great place to spend most of my time. The neighbors are friendly, the neighborhood is convenient to everywhere, we’ve seen a lot of recent investment, and it’s definitely not as dangerous as the media may try to spin it.

If anything, now is a great time to invest. Ten years from now it will have been a no-brainer. Seriously, check out that Westview website, look at how much the houses cost, and try to pick your jaw up off the floor.

    […] The Wren’s Nest, once in not-so-dissimilar dire straights and currently sitting smack dab in the middle of the foreclosure capital of whatever, feels the Mount’s pain. […]
