Final house at Palm Springs-inspired project reaches market

As one might expect, a row of Joseph Eichler-inspired, eco-conscious houses in the industrial-heavy reaches of northwest Atlanta became a TikTok darling pretty much overnight. And now it's gunning for sold-out status. 

That’s according to Jarred Bone of Keller Knapp Realty, who listed the final available house at the unique 3 Palms infill project last week.

With its 1960s inspirations and net-zero-ready status, 3 Palms has been marketed as “revolutionary” and the “modern Atlanta dream home” since the first of its three dwellings came to market a year ago. The project fronts Abner Place in the Carver Hills neighborhood of Atlanta’s “Upper Westside,” neighboring places such as Blandtown, Bolton, and Scotts Crossing.

“It’s been overwhelming the amount of interest these homes have received from the public,” Bone noted via email this week. “Feedback from buyers and especially real estate agents on 3 Palms has been that these homes are so refreshing.” 

The last available home counts three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,650 square feet for $575,000—for a breakdown of $348 per square foot.

Bone said the house in question was finished and listed last year but pulled from the market as it became clear many buyers were on the fence and waiting to learn the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.  

“It seems there is a lot of pent-up demand, with seven showings happening over the weekend,” he said. “So our decision to list in 2025 seems like the right move."   

The 3 Palms project was built by Atlanta-based Urban Oasis Development and designed by the Xmetrical architecture firm, which has active projects dotted across the city.

Each 3 Palms house (no actual palms included) was designed to blur the lines between inside and out by incorporating open courtyards, patios, and a multitude of windows in limited space.

Bold roof lines and ceilings up to 13 feet were also meant to evoke the easy-breezy, livable feel of Palm Springs.

“One of the first buyers at 3 Palms is installing a modern lap pool right now just outside the interior courtyard, and it really completes the midcentury modern vibe,” said Bone. “Maybe the next round [of homes] will all come with lap pools.”                                  

According to sellers, additional perks of 3 Palms units include built-in cabinetry, rainfall showerheads, and full-home dehumidification. The goal is to achieve low utility bills with features such as high-tech insulation, a hybrid hot water heater, low-flow plumbing, and pre-wiring for solar, a house battery, and an EV charging station.

The middle house at 3 Palms sold prior to completion, Bone previously said. Initial prices were $599,999, and all three homes are the same size.   

Per the development team, the properties are the only net-zero-ready homes on the Atlanta market priced less than $1 million right now.

Developer Wole Oyenuga, co-principal of Urban Oasis and Sims Real Estate Group CEO, previously told Urbanize Atlanta the goal is to eventually scale up the 3 Palms concept and deliver thousands of similar homes, opening the door “to a new, elevated kind of living” in the vein of Joseph Eichler’s California philosophy.  

“I get at least five phone calls a day on these homes,” Bone said, “mainly to tour, but we’ve had lots of requests for Urban Oasis to do a 3 Palms development in Alpharetta, Newnan, or even Florida.”
