Announcements

What is in a Name?

As the VP of Marketing, I have the pleasure of naming important places within communities we create. I have probably had a few more hits than misses over the years. I have received both praise and a little criticism about the names within Peachtree Hills Place. But mainly, I have had a lot of questions about the meaning behind them. There is a story behind each name. I can’t confirm the historic accuracy of all, but click here to read more about our names.

Reminders

From Facilities

- If you are out of town for a while, consider shutting down breaker #13. (This breaker is for your water recirculation pump in the mechanical closet. It doesn’t need to be running if you are not calling for water in your unit)

- If you are getting bugs in your home, your windows may not be closed properly, which also counteracts the hard work that your HVAC system is doing – let maintenance know if your need help closing the windows properly. No Charge! Please call Facilities at 678-619-0478.
