Just because you live on a small lot doesn't mean you can't have a Multitude of amenities!

Buyers who like finding things to do in their own neighborhoods once turned exclusively to the large country club developments, where sports and social activities are centered around the community clubhouse. But many of those neighborhoods were designed with large houses on big lots - two features that aren't always on the top of the list for baby boomers.

As Atlanta land prices have continued to climb, lots have begun to shrink - which is just fine with many homeowners who don't relish spending weekends behind lawn mowers or leaf blowers. At the same time, they want places to go where they can meet neighbors, work out and relax not far from their front doors.

Builders in many of the large-scale developments under construction in metro Atlanta are answering the call for less land and more amenities by devoting sections of their projects to cottage-, Craftsman- and bungalow-style homes on lots of less than a quarter-acre. Though these homes don't have large lots, they offer access to the extensive amenities many buyers desire.

On the south side of town, the Heron Bay Golf & Country Club in Locust Grove includes a section called the Cottages, where prices start in the $180,000s. The lots are tiny - just a sixth of an acre - but they come with access to the neighborhood's walking trails, golf center, lake, pools and tennis courts.

The Lakeview neighborhood within the Heron Bay Golf & Country Club development will be a gated community. The Henry County Board of Commissioners approved the request Dec. 20 for a gate on Linkview Crossing at the entrance to Lakeview within Heron Bay. Lakeview at Heron Bay includes 82 homesites.

Heron Bay is a planned community that will be home to more than 2,400 families when completed.

"We're more of a master-planned lifestyle community that offers a social atmosphere, whether people play golf or not. We'll also have an elaborate aquatic center and social clubhouse," says Lisa Brutvan, marketing director for Minerva Properties, LLP, the developer of the community.

The Heron Bay lifestyle includes not only 18 holes of golf, but boasts the 1,100-acre Cole Reservoir, a canoeing and fishing haven. Active families will love the aquatic center, tennis courts, playgrounds, parks along the lake and nature trails.

Homes in this master-planned community are priced from the high $100s to over $1 million. There's a wide range of housing products, floor plans and custom-built homes.

In The Links, a neighborhood nearing completion in the same master-planned community, Heron Bay will add a new waterfall feature on the boulevard at the entrance.
"This spectacular improvement provides a sense of arrival to not only the Links, but also to the Lakeview and Pointe neighborhoods within the community," said Brian Davison of Minerva Properties, developers of Heron Bay. "It will greatly enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of Heron Bay Boulevard for the entire community."
