Following more than three years of construction, a pocket neighborhood billed as a slice of Serenbe that's squarely ITP is now complete. 

The Pendergrast Farm project recently completed the last of its 20 houses, the lone new property that remains for sale. 

The 8.7-acre community is located in Briarcliff Woods in northeast Atlanta, just east of the point where Interstate 85 meets Clairmont Road, north of Emory University. It’s tucked at the end of a wooded drive off Briarcliff Road, and from conception it’s aimed to deliver “farm-to-table living with urban convenience,” or what project reps have called a “mini Serenbe, but intown.”

According to developer Healthy House of Georgia, 70 percent of the DeKalb County site has been preserved as greenspace with a conservation easement, to include 5 and ½ acres of restored woods and streams, alongside walking trails. 

But the most unique Pendergrast Farm feature could be the actual, working 1-acre urban farm, where a large greenhouse and edible landscape features have been added. (An onsite farmer was hired in 2024.)

Candace Fuqua, Avenue Realty broker and owner, says Pendergrast Farm now stands as an “example of an urban biophilic community here in Atlanta,” in that its approach to community planning and architecture stressed human connections to nature and manmade outdoor spaces. 

The lone remaining new-construction home is dubbed “The Glasshouse Retreat” at 2179 William Way for its “disappearing” glass walls on two sides of a family room that open to the Common Green area. 

The property is asking $1.6 million, which buys five bedrooms, three and ½ bathrooms, a two-car garage, an elevator, and a “full granny or teen suite” on the ground level. It includes just over 3,500 square feet.

Beyond the surrounding nature and farm, perks of the community now include a saltwater swimming pool, roughly a mile and ½ of walking trails, and a Community House component with a gym, common hangout area, and rentable guest suites.

All 20 homes were built with EarthCraft-tested construction, and additional perks of the area include proximity to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and commercial nodes including downtown Decatur, per sales reps.
