As metro Atlanta continues to expand, developers are banking on the idea that renters will shift focus toward nearby suburban areas in search of more affordable housing options. Located about 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta, Douglasville could be a relatively unsung but viable alternative to the city's hustle and bustle—for people who want that.

Recently opened in this suburban setting is Resia Tributary, a sprawling 433-unit property nestled south of Interstate 20 and west of I-285 at 1851 Market St. That's about eight miles southeast of Douglasville's downtown, where a new Town Green project debuted last winter. 

Notably, as developers point out, the metro's latest Resia-branded property boasts close proximity to Sweetwater Creek State Park and offers convenient access to the Silver Comet Trail—a 61.5-mile paved path catering to pedestrians and cyclists.

According to a company statement, Resia aims to boost the quality of daily life in rapidly expanding metropolitan regions, where rising rental rates present challenges for residents. The company maintains that its communities bring exceptional value, which extends to its recent venture, Resia Willows, located in Decatur, per Resia reps. 

Comprised of seven five-story buildings, the Douglasville property offers several living arrangements, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments.

Pricing starts in the low $1,300s for the smallest units, while two-bedroom units begin at $1,651, with square footages ranging from 506 to 868 square feet. (As an incentive, four weeks of free rent are being dangled right now—along with $1,000 gift cards for one-bedroom leases and $500 gift cards for two-bedroom apartments.)

In addition to standard amenities like a pool and a 24-hour fitness center, Resia Tributary is marketing more unique perks such as a pickleball court and The Square—an outdoor community space designed to host year-round events.

All units are equipped with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and either a patio or balcony. Residents also have steps-away access to Twisted Pye Kitchen and Just Love Coffee Café, both located in an onsite commercial building.

According to the developer, Resia Tributary residents will have easy access to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, situated a half-hour away by car and requiring no interstate driving, alleviating some of the city's traffic-congestion pains. Additionally, for thrill-seekers of the metro, the property is a 10-minute drive to Six Flags Over Georgia—a theme park featuring more than 40 attractions, including 12 roller coasters.
