To the victor go the spoils, and that means it’s time for a development spotlight on the mighty little southside ITP city of Hapeville.

Today we’ll have a look at a townhome project billed as “Atlanta’s Coolest Boutique Community” in the northern reaches of Hapeville, the Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2023 tournament champion and current Golden Urby Chalice of Champions holder.

The Shirley Estates project, as brought to our attention by Hapeville boosters, is replacing a defunct used car lot at 3165 Dogwood Drive that’s been closed for well over a decade.

The site is just north of downtown Hapeville—about three blocks north of Arches Brewing—and immediately east of West Boling Park.

Expect 28 townhomes overall, each standing three stories with prices beginning in the low $500,000s, according to developer IHD.

What’s that buy in Hapeville these days? Floorplans call for four bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 2,300 square feet, with two-car garages at the base level. The development team describes the floorplans as spacious and the surrounding neighborhood as quiet.

Along with Hapeville’s mix of restaurants and cafes, proximity to downtown Atlanta (15 minutes) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (10 minutes) is cited as perks.

“These townhouses are [flexible] and will meet the needs of homebuyers, single or with families,” according to promotional materials.

We’ve reached out to IHD and Capital Investments Realty officials for a construction update and other details, and we’ll update this story with any additional information. According to listing services, no Shirley Estates townhomes are on the market yet.
