Stone's throw from Beltline, row of Westside modern dwellings floated

A land deal that proposes building a row of distinctly modern homes in a historic Westside neighborhood is back in play with new pricing.

Situated about three miles west of downtown Atlanta, the Rockmart Drive property in question is an assemblage of three consecutive, sloped land lots that constitute much of the street in Hunter Hills.

The property overlooks a pedestrian walkway—considered part of PATH’s Lionel Hampton Trail—that bridges over MARTA tracks. The Atlanta Beltline’s Westside Trail is located roughly a block to the east.

Collectively the land in question covers about .15 acres, according to the Sell Georgia listing agent.

Renderings included in listings depict three standalone modern dwellings positioned on the hillside, each of them three stories tall with garages at the base. Sell Georgia’s team is capable of building the residences, per listings.

Beyond the Beltline, perks of the location include quick transit access and proximity to entertainment and cultural destinations, according to sellers.

“The 30314 area has been experiencing rapid growth and revitalization, making this land lot a promising investment,” the listing reads. “Take advantage of the area's upward trajectory and be part of the positive transformation.”

What the homes might cost, how large they would be, and a potential construction timeline hasn’t been specified. Attempts to reach the LLC marketing the property weren’t successful this week. We’ll update this story with any additional details that come.

[UPDATE: 3:32 p.m., Aug. 15: Property owners and developers The Real Estate Group Partners say a potential R-5 zoning change to increase density could produce a smaller multifamily project on this site. Otherwise, the single-family homes envisioned for the assembled properties would range from roughly 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of livable space, with prices yet to be determined. “We’re looking to do some affordable, sustainable housing,” one project leader tells Urbanize. “We’re not trying to charge a million dollars to be in the proverbial ’hood. Our product is a product for the legacy person in Atlanta.”]

The property (sans homes, of course) was initially listed for $299,999 in January. Following a series of yo-yo price decreases and increases, the latest price posted this week is $149,999.

That’s a 20-percent increase over the land’s price earlier this month.
