Flashback Friday… Where in the World is Lilburn?

Last year I wrote a nice little post about Lilburn…  This is a really nice place to live, and I thought it might be fun to dive into the history of the town.  It certainly is interesting, as are the histories of many of the localities around Gwinnett County, GA.

I’ll let you read the post to find out that history, but I wanted to add a little bit to it…

My wife and I have made this area of Gwinnett County, GA,  our home for the last nine years… and she lived nearby, in Tucker, prior to that.  We decided to stay here to raise our two boys, as well.  And we are constantly glad over that decision.

A couple of weeks ago, while at the Arcado Elementary School Night at the local Chick-fil-a, there was a constant stream of friends and neighbors chatting and catching up.  A week before that, at a Family Night event, it was much the same.  During trips to the grocery store, we run into the parents of classmates of our kids, clients, friends and neighbors.  A trip to the park is much the same.

All of that is to say that there is a tremendous sense of community here.  Belonging.  Acceptance.

A few months ago, a little boy named Al suffered life threatening burns.  The community rallied to his support, hosting fund-raisers and looking for other ways to help his family during their time of need.  Al has made an incredible recovery, and has actually been able to return to school.  But the outpouring of support hasn’t waned.

A visit to a Parkview High School football game or even a quick run up to Bruster’s Ice Cream yields a similar result… friends, neighbors and others we know from the community are there with warm greetings.

This is a wonderful place to call home.  If you’d like to live here… give me a call.  Lane Bailey.  678-200-5895.

Interesting Homes Around Lilburn GA

Lilburn, GA, is a great place to live.  There are some great schools, and the community is both close knit and welcoming.

Parkview High School is one of the highest rated schools in Georgia… and it has been for decades.  The feeder schools, like Trickum Middle School and Arcado Elementary School, also have great reputations.

It is also very convenient to both downtown Atlanta and shopping areas like the Mall of Georgia and Discover Mills.  While it isn’t exactly a short drive to Cobb County (Marietta, Kennesaw, etc.), it is very close to Suwanee and Duluth, which have been experiencing tremendous business growth.

This property is currently the most expensive property in the Arcado District.  Because of the rules of the MLS, I can’t identify the property by address or pictures, though.  It does have two 2 car garages, the detached one has a lift and unfinished storage space.  Of course there is a full basement and 6 bedrooms…  It is priced a little north of $450,000…

If this is a property that might interest you, you want to see other homes with big garages around Gwinnett County, GA or in the Lilburn area, give me a call…

Lilburn, GA, October 7, 2009 -- The Gwinnett C...
Image via Wikipedia

Market stats for Lilburn, October, 2010, indicates that there are 444 properties on the market (as of October 31st). Overall, there is about a 10.7 month supply of properties.  Lilburn is actually mid-pack among cities in Gwinnett County.  Absorption Rates had been improving since March, until September.  In fact, in March there was 15.3 months of inventory.

In the sub-$200k arena, there are 278 listings, with about an 8.2 month supply.  This represents most of the sales in the market area, and reflects the same improvement in inventory levels, continuously since March, until October.  And, one other thing to keep in mind is that sales were strong compared to October 2009 (32 v 26).

Between $200k and $400k, there are 139 listings for sale, and about 24.5 months of supply. This segment has also been getting stronger each month since March, until last month.  There were only 2 sales in September 2010, compared to 11 last year and 6 in October v 18 in 2009.

From $400k to $600k, there are 21 homes on the market. The absorption rate is around 15.8 months. There  were no sales in this segment in May, June, July or October this year.  There were only 4 sales in August and September(combined).  Last summer was much stronger overall.  With just a few sales, just one or two can make a huge difference.

Above $600k, there are 6 listings, but too few sales to have any sort of reliable number of months of inventory.  There has been one sale in the last three months, but prior, there had only been a few other sales in 2010 (January, March and August).  One of the listings is above $800k, and there is no market activity in the last 12 months for that range…

Lilburn is in Gwinnett County, GA, just outside of Atlanta.  As of the 2000 Census, there were 11,307 people in Lilburn, but that is only including people in the city limits, and there has been a lot of growth since 2000 in Gwinnett County.  It was incorporated in 1910.  Lilburn is home to Parkview High School, and also has students that the Brookwood, Berkmar and Meadowcreek clusters. It is also home to Killian Hill Christian School, Providence Chrisian Academy, St. John Neumann Catholic School and Parkview Christian School.  Possibly the most famous resident of Lilburn is General Beauregard Lee, a groundhog with a better winter prediction record that Puxatawnee Phil up in PA. Dominique Wilkins, formerly of the Atlanta Hawks also lives in Lilburn.

There is a new City Hall coming to Lilburn, GA…

It will take two to three years, but Lilburn is slated to get a new City Hall.  There will also be a new Library, and the current City Hall will go to the Police Department… the chambers where the Council meetings are held will be a new courtroom in the Police Department.

The best part is that Gwinnett County is picking up part of the cost, with much of the rest being paid for by SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax).  According to city officials, maintenance costs will drop after the adoption of the new City Hall.

The new City Hall will be built on 5 acres near Main Street and US29 (Lawrenceville Hwy.).

Big League Dreams another step closer to Lilburn…

Over on my LilburnDwellings blog a few weeks ago I wrote about Big League Dreams possibly coming to Lilburn, GA.  At that time, the city was thinking about spending $450,000 (refundable, according to the City) for a feasibility study from Big League Dreams regarding building a facility here in Lilburn.

Last week, the City approved the feasibility study based on a market study conducted by BLD.  According to the market study, Gwinnett is ripe for their type of facility.  However, there seem to be some problems that I see in the study… running counter to the goals of the facility.  The most glaring is that the City of Lilburn wants to bring people here to eat in our restaurants and stay in local hotels, but according to the study, the vast majority of users will be from within Gwinnett County.  Another item (that I didn’t see mentioned in the study) is that there aren’t many hotel rooms or a variety of restaurants within the city limits… where it would increase tax revenue.

There is more information here on the Gwinnett Daily Post.

I think that there needs to be a LOT more public input before the city commits to $20,000,000 for one of these facilities.  And I think that there need to be some studies done apart from BLD… they have little risk, they would build the facility, but the city would pay for it, then BLD operates it… and charges the city to do it.  Even if it falls radically short of expectations, BLD can still profit.
