Some ‘truly affordable’ homes near Beltline aren’t selling. What gives?

A townhome project billed as being “truly affordable” has taken shape with prices not seen in most other Beltline-adjacent neighborhoods in a decade. But these residences are hardly flying off the shelf, in most cases.
Planned to be a 36-unit community eventually, Avenue at Oakland City is located off Murphy Avenue, about four blocks from the Beltline’s Westside Trail.
Formerly called Tucker Avenue Homes, the for-sale, two-story townhouses have been billed as “truly affordable” and “affordable Beltline living” since the project’s inception nearly six years ago. The Avenue’s broader goal is to push back against gentrification growing pains in Southwest Atlanta.
According to Zillow, four homes in the 15-unit first phase have sold to date, with prices from $186,000 to $369,000, and two others are under contract. So as walkable Beltline lifestyles go, relative affordability does seem to apply.
But other Avenue offerings have been on the market for up to eight months.
Are high interest rates to blame? The project’s unique resale structure, in some cases? Something else?

According to listing agent LaCressa Morrow of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta, eight townhomes deemed affordable are still available, each with two or three bedrooms and between 1,086 and 1,532 square feet.
The project’s market-rate homes—all three bedroom, three and ½ bathroom options with between 1,532 and 1,676 square feet—start at 399,000.
Another category, the “permanently affordable” townhomes, range from $210,000 to $296,000. But according to Morrow, buyers must qualify for a conventional loan with a preferred lender, based on 80 percent and 100 percent of the area’s median income.
Designed by the Xmetrical firm, the Avenue is being developed by Atlanta Land Trust and Intown Builders, with $1.7 million in grant financing contributed by Invest Atlanta.
ALT officials have said the majority of townhomes—29 of 36 units—will remain permanently affordable through use of the community land trust model.
That means the trust will own and maintain the land it secured from the real estate market, and when it comes time to move, the homeowner agrees to resell the residence at restricted, affordable pricing to another lower-income buyer, with the price determined by an Atlanta-specific formula, officials have said.
Some Avenue buyers can qualify for down payment assistance through Invest Atlanta, Atlanta Housing, and Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership. But those buyers must finance through one of ALT’s preferred lenders.

As for location, the Beltline’s Murphy Crossing redevelopment site—where a planned housing and jobs hub called Murphy Crossing by Culdesac recently fell apart—is located just over the MARTA tracks. The Oakland City MARTA station is roughly a half-mile south. (The infill MARTA station announced last year for Murphy Crossing, however, would be much closer, should that come to fruition.)
Walkability to the Westside Trail and the Lee + White retail district—both about a half-mile away, to the north—is cited as a perk.
Initial community meetings for the townhome project were held back in 2019.
The project’s broader goal, as ALT officials said when construction kicked off in late 2022, is to help “mitigate gentrification resulting from public investments in the area” by using a “comprehensive, equity-driven approach that connects people, places, and quality of life.”
Site plans indicate five, two-story residential buildings will eventually rise around a surface parking lot when the Avenue is complete. A similar ALT project called The Trust at Oakland City is under construction a few block away in the same neighborhood.
In the gallery above, find more context and a closer look at the Avenue today. Morrow noted that open houses are held at the Avenue from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday. (More details here.)

Mixed-Use Project Planned for Blandtown
Mixed-Use Project Planned for Blandtown
Another residential community appears to be moving forward in Blandtown.
1283 West would create 200 housing units and 7,000 square feet of commercial space. Project leaders recently filed paperwork related to the project, Urbanize Atlanta reports. According to the news outlet, the building is expected to be 14 stories. Community amenities could include a pool, a fitness center, and lounges.
The community is proposed for 1283 Marietta Boulevard NW, northwest of Midtown Atlanta.
The project comes from Atlanta-based real estate firm Five Points Development, whose portfolio includes Legacy at Vine City in Atlanta, Stonepoint in Lithonia and Myrtle Terraces in Gainesville.
“Our core objective is developing living communities through an uncompromising dedication to innovation, architecture, and inclusion,” according to the Five Points Development website. “We strongly believe inclusive revitalization is key to community enhancement and not displacement.”
1283 West is one of several multifamily projects proposed for Atlanta’s Blandtown neighborhood, joining an 845-unit community from Columbia Ventures called Huber West Midtown and a 250-unit project from Crescent Communities called Novel Blandtown.

Swanky ‘Ronara’ to continue downtown Alpharetta densification

Swanky ‘Ronara’ to continue downtown Alpharetta densification
Josh Green
Thu, 02/20/2025 – 17:04
The densification of blocks around Alpharetta City Center is set to continue with housing that starts at a couple of million bucks.
Infrastructure work and street installation is finished for a residential project called “Ronara” that will take shape between 236 and 244 N. Main St., a few blocks north of downtown Alpharetta’s main hub of shopping and dining.
According to Ronara joint venture partners Monte Hewett and Atlanta-based Kingdom Estates, vertical construction is scheduled to begin at the 1.61-acre site next month.
Ronara is replacing two single-family houses perched above North Main Street with 11 luxury, detached homes that will feature side courtyards instead of sprawling, suburban yards.
Expect prices of $2 million—and up—for Ronara homes.

Home sizes haven’t been specified, but selling points are expected to include walkability to nearby businesses and design that “will redefine luxury living in downtown Alpharetta, offering the perfect balance of privacy, style and convenience,” as Monte Hewett, president of Monte Hewett Homes, put it in an announcement.
Just beyond the Ronara front stoops, Georgia Department of Transportation is deep into the $50-million reconstruction of North Main Street/Ga. Highway 9.
That project is widening the corridor to four lanes for 3.6 miles between Upper Hembree Road and Windward Parkway, while also installing bike lanes, 10-foot sidewalks, on-street parking in places, ADA-friendly sidewalks, pedestrian lighting, and other features.
Monte Hewett has built more than 35 neighborhoods in Atlanta and places such as Halcyon since its founding in the early 2000s. Recent intown ventures include The Harman near East Atlanta Village and the townhome component at West Midtown’s growing The Interlock district.
Elsewhere in Alpharetta, the developer started bringing condo project Findley Row to market last summer, just north of Ga. Highway 400 between North Point Mall and Avalon. That’s one residential component of a new mixed-use enclave called Northwinds Summit.

Swanky ‘Ronara’ to continue downtown Alpharetta densification
Josh Green
Thu, 02/20/2025 – 17:04
The densification of blocks around Alpharetta City Center is set to continue with housing that starts at a couple of million bucks. Infrastructure work and street installation is finished for a residential project called “Ronara” that will take shape between 236 and 244 N. Main St., a few blocks north of downtown Alpharetta’s main hub of shopping and dining. According to Ronara joint venture partners Monte Hewett and Atlanta-based Kingdom Estates, vertical construction is scheduled to begin at the 1.61-acre site next month. Ronara is replacing two single-family houses perched above North Main Street with 11 luxury, detached homes that will feature side courtyards instead of sprawling, suburban yards. Expect prices of $2 million—and up—for Ronara homes.
