Beltline-adjacent homes from (gasp) high-$300Ks make sales push Josh Green Wed, 11/13/2024 - 13:43 Recent price adjustments on the southside mean that owning new homes adjacent to the Beltline corridor from the $300,000s is a reality again—if barely so, and in a very limited quantity.

New townhomes continue to take shape at a Chosewood Park project called Skylar (formerly Maguire at Skylar) with discounted prices now starting at $399,900, just south of The Beacon mixed-use district.

It joins a groundswell of new residential development in the neighborhood (both for sale and rent) as the area’s Beltline section promises to be built and open within about a year and 1/2.

Set to eventually include 113 homes, the formerly empty Skylar site is roughly a block south of the under-construction Southside Trail corridor, due west of Boulevard Crossing Park. Chosewood Park’s eponymous greenspace is also a couple of blocks away, to the southeast.

The $399,900 asking price at Skylar buys a four-level floorplan called The Blanche. That gets three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half-baths in 1,898 square feet, between a one-car garage at the base and bedroom plus storage space up top. (By Atlanta standards, the main-level, elevated decks are quite small.)

Prices for the floorplan currently top out at $459,900.

LaTonya D. Stephens, a Stanley Martin senior neighborhood sales manager, tells Urbanize Atlanta two Blanche townhomes are currently finished, with another 13 in the same floorplan scheduled to deliver by early next year.

Overall, the community calls for a total of 81 townhomes and 32 condos. Construction on the condo portion is expected to begin in early 2025, but no information in terms of sizes and prices is available, according to Stephens.

“The project should be complete by fall of next year,” Stephens said of Skylar, via email.

Other large-scale developments underway in the area include the massive Empire Zephyr community (also priced from the high $300,000s) and the mid-rise, 396-unit Upton apartment project, which is finishing construction on a hilltop.

Also nearby, a functional, public-accessible new greenspace is coming together as part of Atlanta Housing’s 30-acre Englewood development.

Stanley Martin’s marketing team has promoted the lifestyle at Skylar as “easy living” where “yard work, home exterior, roof maintenance, and trash are all taken care of for you.” Listing services peg HOA fees at $200 monthly, per townhome.

Elsewhere in metro Atlanta, the company is building another 200-unit townhome project on the Westside near Proctor Creek, in addition to several communities in the suburbs, from Holly Springs to Lawrenceville.
