The Dacula city planner, Joey Murphy stated recently that the planning department in Dacula issued more commercial development permits during the last week of April than Gwinnett County did for the entire month. “We’re getting a good balance of commercial and residential development in the city now,” Murphy was quoted as saying.

This record is indicative of recent growth seen in and around the city, including the Town Center development and other areas in the Hamilton Mill area as well.

The increase in permits shows that while the country may be in a downturn in the residential and commercial market, that real estate is a local product and some areas are actually seeing increases rather than decreases in sales and building.

You’ve probably heard the buzz about the great new movie theater coming to Hamilton Mill this summer. In fact, everyone is realizing now that it will be “THE” place to be at Hamilton Mill this summer & all the hot summer movies will be playing on the big screen right there. It’s opening right by Kohl’s and the Hamilton Mill Home Depot — across Hwy 124 from Starbucks & the BB&T bank.

There really has not been much talk about the details. We pride ourselves on knowing everything about what is going on with Hamilton Mill real estate — even commercial real estate like this movie theater. But, up until know, there really wasn’t much to know.

Great Escapes contacted Diamond Dwellings today and gave us some more details. The theater is tentatively scheduled to open in late June. It is called “The Great Escape 14 in Dacula”. The facility is 52,000 square feet with stadium high-back 24″ riser rocker reclining seats! It will have Full Impact DTS Digital Surround Sound. Plus, it also boasts a first-of-its-kind Digital Auditorium and 3D projection system too.

The first six months will include many huge movie attractions such as Iron-Man, (Disney’s Hot Blockbuster) Narnia II, Deception, Incredible Hulk, Untraceable, Batman, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Beverly Hills Cop 4 plus many many more Top Blockbusters–ensuring maximum movie attendance and interest in this fabulous mega theatre!

Foreclosure Update – Lowest Priced Home in Hamilton Mill

This home has garnered lots of attention. This house has at least two offers currently working as of this post. The REO company has stood firm on price on thus far (not very bright in one man’s opinion). The house has some issues that must be addressed. But, at just over $200k, this one is a great buy.

Our Rating… …8.0 (on a scale of 10)

(our ratings are always based on current price vs. condition & features comparison)

The Good: It’s located on a quiet culdesac, has loads of potential & it’s the cheapest house in The Mill.

The Bad: Issues mentioned above. Needs new carpet, interior paint, new kitchen appliances and flooring and some past water issues need to be addressed.

The Ugly: Make sure you do ALL inspections on this one ( or anything like it)

We can show you how to make this a great deal.

Current Price: $204,750.00

Price Rating/Comment: “let’s make ‘em an offer but Buyer Beware on this one”
