West of Midtown, a unique infill project being marketed as the “modern Atlanta dream home” with no shortage of vintage 1960s inspiration is ready for its closeup.
The trio of midcentury modern-inspired homes, collectively called 3 Palms, fronts Abner Place in the Carver Hills neighborhood of Atlanta’s “Upper Westside,” neighboring places such as Blandtown, Bolton, and Scotts Crossing.
It was built by Urban Oasis Development and designed by the Xmetrical architecture firm, which has active projects dotted across the city.
Both are Atlanta-based companies. But developer Wole Oyenuga, co-principal of Urban Oasis and Sims Real Estate Group CEO, has said the goal is to scale up the concept and deliver thousands of similar homes eventually, opening the door “to a new, elevated kind of living” in the vein of Joseph Eichler’s California philosophy.

Each 3 Palms house (all bereft of actual palms) 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.
Per the development team, the properties are the only net zero-ready homes on the Atlanta market priced less than $1 million.
According to listing agent Jarred Bone of Keller Knapp Realty, the middle 3 Palms home sold prior to completion. Both of the remaining options—2107 and 2123 Abner Place—came to market in recent days at $599,999.
In both cases, that buys three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,650 square feet, with small yards of similar sizes and driveway parking. That breaks down to about $364 per square foot.

Other perks include built-in cabinetry, rainfall showerheads, and full-home dehumidification. The goal, per listings, was 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.
