If you’ve ever driven through Vickery then you have seen the classically inspired and timeless architecture that Vickery is so well know for. The homes in Vickery have unique features and a broad range of styles, making this neighborhood something very special in Forsyth County. Centered in the community is The Village, where residents can walk to grab lunch or dinner, meet for a drink on a roof-top bar or swing by one of the stores. You may also know that the development stalled in the housing downturn and has since seen some additional development since then, one of the developers is John Wieland.
Wieland is well known in Atlanta and has been building homes here for over 20 years. Another Wieland community that has been selling well is Braeburn, in Crabapple. The product Wieland builds is solid, with nice details. That’s why I was surprised to hear complaints about the homes he is building in Vickery.

Some in the community have taken issue with the architectural integrity of Wieland’s product in Vickery. Vickery is a very special community and the homes that have been built there are very different from the typical boxes that many builders construct in our area. If the homes being built are not in keeping with the community it can certainly be detrimental to overall values. They have set up a Preserve Vickery fb page and Preserve Vickery blog you can check out.
Here are examples of what John Wieland is building now:
Yes, these are different from some of the homes in the community, such as the picture at the top of this post. But they aren’t drastically different from other homes in the community. Are they as nice, that’s debatable, I would probably prefer one of the stone cottages; but I’m not sure they stray from the architectural guidelines.
It’s a sensitive issue and there are probably more than a few opinions out there. What do you think?
