Is Lots in
AnSley Park


We have IS lots in the cid part of Ansley
Park that in the market now. There was
some mOlding, planting and grading necessary to
make these few lots just right. 1t has been done
and they are home sites beautiful They will not
last long. Just seven weeks past this office sold
% lots for $4,000 in eleven days. The one ques-
ton was How did you do it? The answer is
+ this:
Ansley Park is the best value in Atlanta on
the North Side Two of these lots are on Peach
tree Circle, stones throw from Peachtree at SIS
per foot Just across the street a lot sold at $IIo
per foot in February. They are beautifully elevat-
ed, with all improvements.
Three of these lots are just opposite the Wine
coff Mansion at SIS per foot. Three of them are
in Block p, just opposite Mr. Ansley's home at
SIS per foot One lot Avery drive, at $50 per
foot one Golf Circle, at $50 per foot just oppo
site the Golf Clubhouse site, worth double.
We expect to sell them this week on easy
terms. Any one of the above described lots is
worth now IS per cent more than ask
Within eighteen months we predict there will
not be a vacant lot in Ansley Park Why? Be
cause there is not a residence tract out Peachtree
left but here south Of Brookwood, and many are
not going farther out; it is now Close-in property
and one has provided anywhere in Atlanta
broad winding drives, open parkway and ele-
gance of surroundings as has Mr.. Ansey and the
people are just beginning to appreciate that within
few years this means comfort, health and recrea-
ton in a home to be secured nowhere else in this
city Just think, where are the select" parks,
tennis courts, play grounds and golf links, so close
to their homes and their business? Think these
prices these values over.
Ansey Park has increased II 900 per cent in
nine years, that is the answer and it is going more
in the next nine years Mr.. Ansley says that
within ten years S25,oooooo will be spent beyond
Ansley Park and that means more increase to
Ansley Park. Don't be slow, be quick, get them
at these prices and the profits are yours.
