     At the recent National Association of Home Builders Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada, SummerGrove won the Gold Award for Website in the nation by a master-planned community.

     The website cleverly communicates the fact that SummerGrove is almost sold out with a “flying turtle.”  
     This is the highest internet-related award given in the home building and development industry.  Other communities competing for the Gold Award included The Landmark in Denver, Colorado; Bridgeland in Cypress, Texas; Oakleaf Plantation in Jacksonville, Florida; Brambleton in Ashburn, Virginia and Sun City Mesquite in Mesquite, Nevada.

        “In today’s internet-driven society, it is an honor to have the best website in the nation for a master-planned community,” said Phil Corley, vice president of marketing for Pathway Communities.  “But the real proof is the success of SummerGrove.  The builders at SummerGrove have really paid attention to the details and our on-site agents have done a tremendous job of educating potential buyers about the merits of SummerGrove.”

     SummerGrove is located at the intersection of Lower Fayetteville Road and Shenandoah Blvd. in Newnan.  The Information Center is open daily 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.-5 p.m.  For more information, call (770) 252-9000, or visit www.summergrove.com.
