A working price guide to Park Glenn and Glenn Abbey and Johns Creek, drawn from recent closings in the $650K to $3.3M band.

## What is the median home price in Park Glenn right now?

Park Glenn sits at the top of the Alpharetta, GA market, with most closings in the $2M to $2.6M range in my tracked transactions. Entry into the subdivision generally starts near $1.45M once you account for lot position and finishes.

Buyers should expect roughly 6,000 square feet on a third of an acre at the median, with golf frontage adding a meaningful premium over comparable interior lots.

## How long are $2M homes taking to sell?

Median days on market is running near **24 to 30 days** for homes that are priced correctly and show well. Homes that need a kitchen or primary bath update are sitting closer to 60 days before their first accepted offer.

Sale-to-list is holding around **97%**. The pattern is consistent: turnkey homes get competition in the first ten days, and renovation projects get discounts.

## What do HOA dues cost, and what do they cover?

Dues vary widely across Alpharetta, GA: roughly **$4,500 to $4,800 per year** in the gated golf communities, $2,400 or so in the older country-club neighborhoods, and little to no mandatory HOA in the historic districts.

Golf and social memberships are separate and optional. Always read the resale certificate for the specific home — special assessments show up late in the contract, not in the listing.

## What does the money actually buy in square footage?

At $1.975M you are buying roughly **5,500 to 6,800 square feet**, four to six bedrooms, and a three-car garage. Lot size is the variable that moves most: a third of an acre is standard, while half-acre to full-acre parcels carry a premium.

Above $3.3M buyers start expecting a main-level primary suite, a scullery, and a pool-ready lot.

## Which neighborhood is holding resale value best?

Park Glenn has been the most resilient, with sale-to-list consistently at or above the market average. Its floor is protected by the gate, the golf course and a deeper pool of relocating buyers.

The smaller enclaves around Glenn Abbey and Johns Creek trade faster when inventory is thin but show more variance when it is not. For a five-year hold, that resilience is worth more than the higher dues.

### Is Alpharetta, GA a good market for a $2M buyer right now?

Yes, on a five-year horizon. Inventory is balanced rather than tight, so buyers get inspection contingencies again, and correctly priced homes still move in under a month.

### What are the property taxes on a $2M home there?

Budget roughly 0.85% to 0.95% of assessed value per year. Verify against the county assessor record for the specific parcel before you make an offer.

At this tier, yes. Street-level differences in school zoning, lot drainage and builder quality move price by more than the commission does.
