Loganville, GA January, 14 2008 – Meridian Homes, based in Loganville, GA and Simpsonville, SC, recently opened several new communities and now welcomes the first residents.  New home sales agents often hear a familiar question when a new community opens; does anyone live here?  Meridian Homes tries to help potential homeowners feel as comfortable and confident as possible by explaining the company’s history and showing them past communities that the company has built, but sometimes it just takes seeing a future neighbor to get them to realize they are ready to move in.  Recently the first residents moved into Arbor Oaks, Arbors at Rosebud, Carrington Place, Harmony Club and Thornbrooke.  With more neighbors on the way, the houses along the streets will soon feel like homes inside a community.  Meridian Homes currently has 23 communities in 7 counties in the East Metro Atlanta area as well as 3 communities in the Greenville, South Carolina area.
