OK so we are all aware that a kid named Scotty McCreery won American Idol and put his home town of Garner, North Carolina on the map, right?
Well we as Real Estate agents who have an office in Garner, Coldwell Banker Howard Perry & Walston and work in the Garner market thought it would be a good idea to organise a little tour of some of the attractions that Garner has to offer. So when we get an onslaught of people who are moving to Garner we will be ready for them.
We had about twenty agents from the office go on the Garner Points of Interest Tour today and we started at the Town Hall and Library. Important places If you need to get planning permission or if there is a new subdivision planned or a commercial enterprise is opening, this is where you will go for that information. The library was slated to be closed in the recent budget cutbacks, however the citizens of Garner put up such a fight the county backed down, this is a recurring trend with the Town of Garner,there is a real sense of community!
Next up the Garner Historic Auditorium, Main Street, Garner Recreation Park, Garner Senior Center.
The White Oak Shopping Center and the Regal Cinemas Stadium 14 with all the fine restaurants choices over there including a new Char-Grill!!
The White Oak Medical Offices, Rex Hospital has a state of the art wellness center there and this is where you will find the White Oak Apartments at Abberly Place which offers short term rentals, good to know if you sell your house before you find your home in Garner. If you are relocating to Garner and want to take your time looking at different subdivisions and schools in Garner this might be a good spot to check out.
The Garner Chamber of Commerce was next where we sat on the most luxurious chairs worth $200 each!!! The Chamber folks have been fielding a lot of questions lately about “where does he live?” “Where is the Lowes Foods he worked at?”
They are also excited about the new companies moving to the area and providing much needed jobs, there will be a ground breaking ceremony shortly. It seemed to me they were keeping something from us ( sworn to secrecy), but to me they were hinting there would be another announcement shortly... I hope so.
From there it was off to the Centennial Park, The Water Treatment Plant ( Jackies Idea!) Lake Benson Park and Boat House. This is a beautiful park and lake with walking trails boats for hire fishing piers. they have a number of picnic areas with permanent grills for large cook outs, family reunions etc. They also have a concert on July 3rd with the Symphony and fireworks, now that ,I am told is awesome! This is also the park where all American Idol winners have their Homecoming Concert...... so long as they live in Garner!
White Deer Park also a beautiful 96 acre park with playgrounds etc. then it was on to the Grand Marquise Ballroom a beautiful facility for weddings etc.
So now we are up to speed on all thing Garner, of course there is a lot more to see and there are some great houses for sale and rent in Garner and if you are thinking about selling your home in Garner give us a call we know the place.
