Phase two, consisting of 26 home sites, is now open in Canterbury Springs, a Jerry Ballard Homes community in the Coweta County city of Grantville.

Situated on U.S. Highway 29 approximately two miles from Interstate 85, Canterbury Springs offers homes in the $80,000s and $90,000s.

The three-bedroom, two-bath homes have maintenance free vinyl exteriors with some brick accents, and there are single- and double-garage plans. The front yards are sodded, and the subdivision has public water, sewer, curbs and gutters.

A major factor in the marketing success of Canterbury Springs, according to officials of the Jerry Ballard organization, is the financing packages available. The community is FHA and VA approved, and if a couple qualifies, they can move into their new home with zero down payment with a rural development loan.

Denise Rimlinger, a Coweta County resident, is the Jerry Ballard Realty Inc. representative in the community. The model home is open 1-6 p.m. Saturdays through Thursdays. The telephone number for the model home is 770-583-3551.
