Britley Park in Woodstock, GA: Small Homes, Big Convenience

If you’re looking for a low‑maintenance home in a super convenient part of Woodstock, Britley Park should absolutely be on your list. This small neighborhood off Eagle Drive has become a favorite for first‑time buyers and downsizers who want a practical home, reasonable HOA dues, and everyday essentials just a few minutes away. For some people, it’s a great “starter neighborhood.” For others, it is the perfect place to land after selling a bigger home and simplifying life.

Britley Park sits just off Eagle Drive in the 30189 zip code. Walmart is literally next door, so if you ever run out of groceries or basic supplies, you could walk over if you wanted to. A little farther down Eagle Drive you’ll find Aldi, Dunkin’, and LA Fitness, all within about five minutes of the neighborhood. If schools matter for you, Britley Park feeds into E.T. Booth Middle School and Etowah High School, which are also only a few minutes away, and Boston Elementary is about three miles north, roughly an eight‑minute drive. JD’s BBQ is across the street, and Patriot Park and Hobgood Park are just down the road, giving you quick access to parks, ball fields, and walking space without having to drive across town. From the neighborhood you are just over two miles to Highway 92 and about eight minutes, roughly 4.1 miles, to Lake Allatoona.

The neighborhood itself is made up of about 180 small single‑family homes built in the mid‑1990s. Most of the homes are two bedroom, two bathroom properties, but there are also some three bedroom, two and a half bath floor plans mixed in. Square footage usually ranges from around 788 square feet up to about 1,300 square feet, with most homes having a one‑car garage and a few that offer a two‑car garage. For many people this is the sweet spot: you get a real house, a driveway, and some yard space, but you are not taking on a huge property that requires hours of upkeep every week.

One of the big selling points in Britley Park is the HOA structure. Dues are generally less than $200 per quarter, billed on the first of each quarter, and that includes front‑yard maintenance. The neighborhood also has common areas and a playground, but no pool. Personally, I see that as a plus. In my own neighborhood we do have a pool, and it is a big reason our HOA dues are higher. If you are someone who would rather have lower dues and front‑yard maintenance handled for you, Britley Park’s setup is very appealing.

Leasing is another topic that comes up with buyers and investors. At the time of writing, there is no cap on the number of homes that can be leased long‑term in Britley Park, which is something investors pay attention to. However, short‑term leasing under six months is not allowed per the HOA rules, so you will not see AirBnB‑style rentals operating here.

A lot of buyers are surprised to see how many options actually exist once they run the numbers.

In terms of pricing, as of late 2025 most move‑in‑ready two bedroom, two bathroom homes in Britley Park have been selling in the high $200s to low $300s, with the exact price depending on size, condition, and updates. For a first‑time buyer who wants to get into Woodstock and stay close to daily conveniences, or for someone downsizing from a larger home, those numbers can make this neighborhood very attractive. If you want to see what is actually on the market right now rather than guessing from old listings, I keep an updated page with all the homes currently for sale in Britley Park that you can browse any time HERE. You can use that page to view photos, check current asking prices, and schedule a tour if you see something that fits.

Recently I helped a family sell their home in Britley Park, and their situation is a good example of how the neighborhood works in real life. For them, this house was their starter home and they genuinely loved living in Britley Park, but it was time to upsize into a larger place. When we went to market, there were already several other homes for sale in the neighborhood that had been sitting. My clients were under a clear timeline because they were also buying their next home, and they needed the sale of their Britley Park home to line up smoothly with their purchase. We priced the home based on what was actually selling nearby instead of just matching other list prices, invested in professional photos and a full 3D tour so buyers could walk through the house virtually, and launched with a strong open house and targeted marketing push to get as many serious buyers through in the first few days as possible.

We went under contract quickly, but the first contract fell apart due to the buyer’s personal reasons. Because we already had interest and a backup plan in place, we were able to secure another buyer and get it back under contract the very next day. Total time on the market ended up being just four days, at a time when other properties in the neighborhood were still sitting unsold. That timing allowed my clients to sell their starter home and move directly into their new, larger home without a stressful gap in between. If you own in Britley Park and are starting to think about a move like that, you can get a quick, no‑pressure estimate of what your property might sell for by checking your home value HERE. It will at least give you a baseline to see whether a move makes sense.

So who is Britley Park really for? It tends to be an excellent fit for first‑time buyers who want to be in Woodstock with easy access to groceries, gyms, parks, and schools, but do not want the payment or maintenance that comes with a big four bedroom home. It is also a strong option for downsizers who like the idea of a smaller, one‑level home with front‑yard maintenance included and quick access to daily conveniences. And for investors who are looking for straightforward floor plans and a strong practical location rather than a luxury community, it is at least worth a look. On the other hand, if you want a large backyard, a lot of space between you and your neighbors, a 3,000+ square foot floor plan, or a big neighborhood amenity package with pool, tennis, and clubhouse, Britley Park will probably feel too small and too simple for what you are after.
