Premier home builder earns “Community of the Year” award for the second year in a row

Edward Andrews Homes (EA Homes) dominated at the 2016 Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association OBIE Awards, taking home 20 awards including their second “Community of the Year” honor for Harlow, a master-planned townhome community in North Fulton.

“We’re thrilled to take home an astounding 20 OBIE Awards this year,” said Caroline Simmel, senior vice president of marketing at EA Homes. “This success wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and cutting-edge initiatives from our amazing design, development, architecture, homebuilding and marketing teams. We’re proud to be the preeminent luxury home builder in the Atlanta area and consistently deliver award-winning communities.”

Last year, EA Homes won “Community of the Year” for Bridleton, a beautiful single-family community surrounding Chattahoochee Pointe Park in south Forsyth County, and this year the Charleston-inspired Harlow townhome community in North Fulton received the honor. Harlow caters to tech hub Alpharetta’s up-and-coming population of older millennials who crave community-driven experiences from food truck nights to yoga in the park, as well as the empty nesters who want low-maintenance living with great amenities right outside their front door.
