As with most coastal and Sunbelt cities, $400,000 and change doesn’t get what it used to around Atlanta. But unlike other places, there are new-construction, non-shoebox options out there. 

One example is the growing Park Vue project in the Westside’s Rockdale neighborhood, where dozens of options remain available and nearly 300 new townhomes will sprout overall when finished. 

Situated across the street from Atlanta’s largest greenspace, Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (formerly Westside Park), the relatively large intown project by national homebuilder Ashton Woods kicked off construction about three years ago. 

Project reps tell Urbanize Atlanta construction continues today, and that 75 homes remain available, priced from $402,000 to $438,000.

The gated community replaced a long-shuttered warehouse facility on Johnson Road, just north of the park, which debuted its first phase of 280 acres in the summer of 2021. 

Builders have previously said Park Vue will include 293 townhomes when finished. 

Don’t expect the beefy townhome floorplans of something like O4W’s Residences at Studioplex or Bankhead’s nearby Ten29 West, which many younger or downsizing buyers could consider too large (and pricey). 

The three Park Vue floorplans currently offered range from 1,362 to 1,507 square feet across two stories. That gets three bedrooms, two and ½ bathrooms, and a one-car garage.

Amenities include a communal pool with cabanas and an onsite pond. Promotional materials have pointed to everything from Atlantic Station, the Georgia Aquarium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Buckhead as nearby selling points.
