Written by Dawn Landau: From my early days with the Virginia Highland Business Association and certainly since we participated in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, I have followed the Atlanta city planning efforts fairly closely. I was an early adopter of “The Atlanta BeltLine WILL Happen” mantra (much to the delight of many clients, I might […]
Everyone seems to be getting into the spirit this year! Dawn has been checking out some great cocktail venues to visit this holiday season: My first stop was Miracle on Monroe, a pop-up bar in Midtown Promenade where Tapa Tapa is usually located. Starting Thanksgiving, however, a Miracle occurred Elves apparently swooped in and decorated, […]
For 2017, I was asked to join our office’s ALC, Agent Leadership Council. I was very honored to have been asked so I signed up, having no real idea what that meant but what the heck… As it turned out, one of the benefits of being on the ALC is we get leadership training over […]
This month we look into the Serenbe community just outside Atlanta, including photos from our recent tour and comments/thoughts from a Midtown/Serenbe family. And, as always, we have all the good stuff, including upcoming events, featured listings and DIY tips (with personal experiences from Dawn herself). At Environs, we value you, your time & your business […]
A Kitchen Rehab Story, by Dawn Landau So we went and did it…finally. After years of threatening to get started, buying tile, contemplating cabinetry paint colors and general procrastinating, we pulled the trigger on a kitchen facelift…at our OWN HOUSE! Terry and I (well, me really) have been talking about updating (i.e., getting rid of […]

Steve welcomed us to his very different community, […]
Babalu Tapas & Tacos By Dawn Landau Who would have thunk it!? This Mississippi “chain” brings it. I was honored with an invite from Steve Saenz of Urban Explorers to a pre-opening trial run at their new Midtown location. The food was free and the proceeds from the beverages went to charities, one of which was […]
Poncey–Highland (PoHi) is a neighborhood near and dear to the Environs Team’s hearts. Both Dawn and John spent plenty of late nights in the 90s in the local bars, ending up eating “breakfast” at the Majestic Diner at 3am. Just down the road is Manuel’s Tavern – the meeting place for local liberals and, which, […]
This month it was an easy jaunt for the Environs Real Estate Team as they took friends and clients over to Oakhurst, a historic neighborhood in Decatur. Oakhurst is another of these wonderful tucked away places in the Atlanta area with an eclectic and, let’s say, progressive community spirit. Y’all may remember that Dawn and […]

The Environs Team loves a good porch day, so we decided to share some of our favorite Spring cocktails for a little inspiration of your own. Cocktails are made for sharing and as such we have a plethora of drinks perfect for drinking with your […]
