  • Mansion Sales On the Rise in Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    The luxury home market in Metro Atlanta has experienced significant growth, with sales of homes priced between $1 million and $2.5 million rising by 32%.

    Available listings in this price range have also surged by more than 35%, reflecting strong demand for high-end properties.

    The 2024 data comes from real estate firm Harry Norman, which says, “Properties priced at $2.5 million and above also saw a rise in sales, reflecting strong and steady demand for premium real estate. The city continues to attract luxury buyers from across the nation and globe, drawn to its vibrant lifestyle, thriving economy, and unique blend of Southern charm and modern amenities.”

    Are you in the market for an expensive home? If so, there a few things you should know.

    4 Things To Do Before You Buy a Mansion in Atlanta

    Buying a mansion in Atlanta involves a few key steps. Here’s a guide to help you through the process:

    1. Determine Your Budget

    Mansions in Atlanta can range significantly in price, starting around $1 million and reaching up to $10 million or more, depending on location, size, and features.

    Make sure to factor in additional costs like property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance.

    How much house can you really afford?

    2. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

    If you’re not paying cash, securing a mortgage pre-approval is essential. This shows sellers that you’re serious and gives you a clear idea of what you can afford.

    Luxury homes may require jumbo loans, which often have different requirements than standard mortgages. Your lender will guide you on this.

    Read up on how to get pre-approved for a mortgage.

    3. Hire a Real Estate Agent Specializing in Luxury Homes

    Find a real estate agent with experience in the luxury market. They’ll have access to high-end listings and private sales not always listed publicly.

    Agents specializing in mansions can help navigate the complexities of luxury home purchases, including negotiations and closing deals.

    4. Research Atlanta’s Luxury Neighborhoods

    • Buckhead: One of the most prestigious areas in Atlanta, known for its large estates and proximity to upscale shopping and dining.
    • Tuxedo Park: Known for historic mansions and newer luxury homes, with large properties and exclusive living.
    • Ansley Park: A historic district close to downtown, featuring luxury homes and beautiful parks.
    • Sandy Springs and Brookhaven: Offer sprawling estates and gated communities.
    • Druid Hills: Known for its classic architecture and proximity to Emory University.

    Final Word

    Once you find a mansion you like, your agent will help you submit an offer. Negotiating for a luxury home can be more complex due to high price points, so having a good agent is crucial.

    The Best Atlanta Turkey Legs: Where To Get Them

    3 Min Read

    Smoked turkey legs are delicious for several reasons, thanks to the unique combination of preparation techniques, seasoning, and the natural qualities of the meat itself.

    Turkey legs are cooked low and slow, often for several hours, over wood like hickory or mesquite. This slow cooking allows the smoky flavor to deeply penetrate the meat, enhancing its taste.

    If you’re craving a delicious turkey leg in Atlanta, here are some of the top spots to satisfy your appetite:

    Atlanta Turkey Legs

But when I tell you this food hits EVERYTIME!!!! Anytime anybody asks where they should go I’m only going to tell them places I got to consistently with great food and this is it! They are located inside of a ghost kitchen so you don’t go in and sit down but place your order before you go and you can be in and out. Try them out you will not be disappointed!”

    Here’s what one customer says about Turkey On The Loose. “Definitely will go back Junky leg is good, and the meat is falling off the bones. I asked for extra sauce on the side, but I did not need it. The baked beans were good, and the corn was also. Everything is turkey. I also ordered a regular turkey with barbecue.”

    Spanky’s Chicken and Seafood Lounge

    2504 Candler Rd, Decatur, GA 30032 | (470) 823-3063

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Spanky’s. “Update: November 28th the service was still on point. The staff at the front are polite and patient while you figure out what you want to order. The whole wings were perfectly seasoned and the fries were crispy. Turkey ribs were good but the chicken sandwich was amazing! Collard greens and macaroni & cheese were lacking.”

    Tropikal Bird Turkey Legs

    7530 GA-85, Riverdale, GA 30274 | (470) 621-8158

    Here’s what one diner says of Tropikal Bird Turkey Legs. “I was craving something different and stumbled upon this place! I saw the turkey legs and instantly wanted to try it! I had the food delivered, and it was neatly packed. When I opened everything, it looked and smelled amazing. I ordered collard greens and the turkey with cornbread stuffing and spinach. The collard greens were excellent! They were tender and had a nice bite to them. The turkey tasted good, and the tropikal sauce was on point! I found that the turkey was a bit dry, but eating it with the sauce and stuffing really brought it together. I will definitely order from here again!”

  • Che Butta Jonez opens i Brookhaven

    Che Butter Jonez Opens In Brookhaven

    3 Min Read

    It’s official: Che Butter Jonez has opened on LaVista Road in Brookhaven. The popular restaurant, which opened its doors on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024, is currently serving customers. The new spot is Che Butta Jonez’ second brick-and-mortar location after they moved southwest Atlanta.

    The owners announced this past summer that they were leaving their former digs, saying, “but we’re headed in a direction that brings about opportunities we could have never imagined, so we live the dream we dare to dream!”

    Co-owner Detric Fox-Quinlan said on Instagram that the restaurant would initially serve a limited menu.

    “We’re going to ease into the week with just the staples,” she said. “So, for breakfast, beef, bacon, egg and cheese; beef, sausage, bacon and cheese; turkey sausage, egg and cheese; pastrami egg and cheese.”

    When it’s ready, the expanded menu will include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, with new items like salmon and shrimp bowls, along with favorites like the lamb burger and pastrami-topped “Patti LaBelle” patty melt. Bodega-style sandwiches will be available for breakfast, and the restaurant will offer craft soda, bottled beer and wine, and a small grocery area with staples and grab-and-go items. Events like Singo (singing BINGO) and Wednesday night fish and spaghetti will continue.

    Where Is Che Butter Jonez Brookhaven Located?

    Located at 1602 Lavista Road NE, in the former Coffee Bar Atlanta space, the new 2,954-square-foot Che Butter Jonez will more than double the size of the Cleveland Avenue location and accommodate five times the number of people. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    The restaurant features large garage-style windows, a stage at the front, and décor similar to the original, with bright and inviting colors and wood elements.

    Rhasaan and Fox-Quinlan started Che Butter Jonez as a food truck in 2018. Named after Rhasaan’s online alias, the truck gained popularity with its tagline, “I cook better than your muva!” and rotating dishes like the lamb burger and the Bodega breakfast sandwich.

    In 2021, the couple opened their brick-and-mortar restaurant on Cleveland Avenue. Now, they’ve moved to North Atlanta for greater success.

    Final Word

    The couple’s first brick-and-mortar location location opened in June 2021 at 757 Cleveland Ave., just minutes from their home. They are also working on an upscale restaurant and bar called Butter + Scotch, slated to open in a hotel on Mitchell Street later this year.

    Cool events takes place every year when it’s hot. And that’s when Atlanta is at its best. Every Atlanta weekend has something cool to do. The city has a thriving cultural, food, sports and music scene, with venues like the Tabernacle and the Fox Theatre hosting concerts and shows throughout the year.
