SAND Tour of Homes - May 20th & 21st

Benteen Park is one neighborhood of several surrounding neighborhoods that make up the organization SAND. This year's tour of homes includes Craftsman Bungalows, Ranch homes and Victorian style homes with varying degrees of renovation. See how new construction can fit in with established neighborhoods. And discover creative ways homeowners are renovating 30-, 50- and 70-year old homes to adapt to today’s lifestyle. Some homeowners extend the tour beyond the home to their outdoor living area providing you with inspiration for the spring season.

Experience one of North Ormewood Park’s original 4-square houses built near the turn of the century. The owners updated the house from the ground up, while maintaining key architectural features such as the four fireplaces and exposed brick walls.

Tour 11 homes from the SE Atlanta neighborhoods of Benteen, Boulevard Heights, Glenwood Park, McDonough-Guice, North Ormewood Park, Ormewood Park and Woodland Hills which make up South Atlantans for Neighborhood Development (SAND, Inc.). You’ll find that our eclectic neighborhoods have lots to offer, from historic treasures to the new urbanism development of Glenwood Park.
