Atlanta Journal Constitution Homefinder 1994.08.07 "Northcrest-Pleasantdale - North DeKalb community takes pride in its stability"

AJC Homefinder 1994.08.07 Page 6

Former Neighborhood Association President Chuck Hunt provided this original newspaper insert. 

This article by Sarah Cash focuses on the neighborhood stability of Northcrest in regards to bad zoning. The article continues by quoting several residents and indicates that the neighborhood is both safe, diverse, and that residents consist of a mix of ages. The first page also stresses the community aspect of the neighborhood and that new couples are replacing retiring older homeowners, bringing children into the neighborhood. Current residents Mary and David McCowen are both pictured and quoted.

The second page provides some neighborhood development history, with references to Paul Edwards, Howard Hardrath (P&H), and Walter Talley the original developers. Also the history of Pleasantdale Park, once named Warren Field and then Vego Field after original neighborhood homeowner Frank Vego, who donated acreage to the park. Also included is a map to the neighborhood and average sales data for 1994 (interesting to compare to today's sales, which are on average about double).
