Lucky for Forsyth County residents, the 2006 Street of Dreams Luxury Home Tour Returns to Lake Lanier in neighboring Hall County...
Street of Dreams, the annual luxury home showcase, heads back to Lake Lanier in Hall County this spring with a magnificent collection of five custom-built masterpiece homes showcased on one street within the new Marina Bay resort community. Five local builders have teamed with interior designers from north Georgia and metro-Atlanta to create these luxury homes, which will feature the latest innovations in home building designs, furnishings and accessories.
