A unique infill project in Southwest Atlanta could be a bright spot for potential intown buyers worried the prospect of homeownership has sailed away. 

Officials with Culdesac, an Arizona-based developer specializing in walkable communities, tell Urbanize Atlanta that move-ins are starting at 1070 Dill, a new pocket neighborhood in Capitol View.  

Marketed as two-level condos in listings, 1070 Dill’s offerings now start firmly in the $100,000s, located about a block from MARTA’s Oakland City station, just southwest of the Beltline, the Lee + White district, and other landmarks. 

Site plans indicate the project includes 22 units total, with a courtyard, dog park, and parklet situated between the homes. All units have small backyards, project officials have said. 

The Beltline’s 1.3-mile Oakland + Murphy Connector Trail is set to break ground in early 2027 across the street from 1070 Dill. 

According to Culdesac officials, the homes are reserved for households earning up to 100 percent of the Area Median Income. In this case, that’s $82,500 for a one-person household and $94,300 for a two-person household.

Current listings, including one posted this week, start at $170,000 and top out at $209,000, with HOA fees of $200 per month. 

In each case that buys a two-story unit with one bedroom and one bathroom in 640 square feet.

Culdesac officials declined to say how sales at the project are going, or how many units have traded. Listing services haven’t tracked any recent sales onsite to date. (According to Culdesac reps, the project was officially finished in December.) 

Development officials did note that several down payment assistance programs are available for qualified buyers. Those include: Invest Atlanta’s ATL HomeNOW (up to $20,000); the Atlanta Beltline Mortgage Assistance Program (up to $30,000); and Atlanta Housing’s Down Payment Assistance Program (up to $25,000). 

Atlanta Housing voucher holders may qualify for up to $60,000 in assistance (forgiven after 10 years), and "some programs can be combined, depending on the buyer’s situation,” a project rep wrote via email.

The 1070 Dill property, formerly home to a small church, abuts two other affordable housing ventures in the area: Gateway Capitol View and 1055 Arden Apartments.

Along with Culdesac, partners on the project included Invest Atlanta, Praxis3 architects, Service 1st Bank, tiny home developer Fortas Homes, and Urban Oasis.
