Avignon has basically become synonymous with luxury townhomes in Vinings. What you may not realize though is the community features single family villas and condos as well as the townhomes. The timeless European architecture found in all of the townhomes at Avignon at Vinings is also found in the single-family villas and condos. Two single-family villas are currently open for tours, so stop by the community for a first-hand look. But, for a sneak preview, here is a detailed description (as well as a couple of photos) of one of the single family villas currently for sale:

For those that are fans of the Atlanta Ballet, take notice to the fact that they are no longer performing at the Fox Theatre. Instead, the ballet company has moved to the Cobb Performing Arts Centre, and it is here that you can see the Atlanta Ballet perform the fairytale classic, Swan Lake. From October 23 to November 2, the Atlanta Ballet will do eight performances at CPAC. Swan Lake is an enchanting fairytale of everlasting love that takes audiences on a roller coaster of emotions, from heartache to happiness. This exquisite ballet has become the cornerstone of dance for more than a century, and there is no question as to why. If you have yet to experience Swan Lake, this is a must-see event, and tickets are currently on-sale.

The Cobb Performing Arts Centre is in the same neighborhood as Avignon at Vinings. (more…)
