If you are looking for a centrally located townhome community that offers plenty of green space to get out and enjoy Atlanta’s mild weather, well kept grounds and amenities and homes that are well constructed; you should check out Westover Plantation. It is located off of Defoor’s Ferry in between the Moore’s Mill and Howell Mill exits off of I-75. Westover has 2 bedroom 2.5 bath and 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhomes all with a great patio and some with fireplaces available for resale.
The townhomes are all brick, which lends to low maintenance and reasonable monthly HOA fees. The community is gated; it has two pools and clubhouses, lighted tennis courts, a play ground, dog park area and walking paths. Buy here and you will be minutes away from all of Atlanta’s major highways, downtown, midtown, Buckhead and Vinings. You are close to parks, the YMCA, restaurants and shopping. Many of the homes have been updated and renovated but plenty have not. So, if you are looking to buy and make some changes or you want a home that you can move right into both options are available to you at Westover Plantation. Please contact me if you have any questions about the community, to find out the homes that are currently available or if you are looking to sell your home at Westover.

Glen Iris Lofts is located across from upcoming $437 million Ponce Park development and walking distance to Whole Foods, Freedom Park, and Piedmont Park. These lofts are off Glen Iris Drive between Ponce de Leon Ave and North Ave. Glen Iris Lofts is one of my favorite loft buildings. It is one of the first loft buildings in Atlanta. There are two buildings. One of the buildings is a true conversion with another building that looks like authentic. With Glen Iris Lofts being so close to the new development, Midtown, Virginia Highland, Downtown, I-75, I-85, and more, these lofts are worth viewing.
Each Glen Iris Loft boasts of gorgeous hardwood and concrete floors, exposed ductwork, exposed brick wall, and lots of natural light from the windows. This loft community has several floorplans offering functional rooms, very open feel, and ample space. The kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and good cabinet space. Glen Iris Lofts are one of the few lofts that have a gas stove/oven for those who enjoy cooking.
Glen Iris Lofts amenities include pool, parking garage, security gate, and all the places that are in walking distance. Glen Iris Lofts distinguishes itself from other buildings in that there are both two level lofts and one level lofts. I want I like about this loft is that it offers a lot of sq. ft. for the money. Glen Iris Lofts has 1 bed/1 bath, 1 bed/1 bath with den, and 2 bed/ 2bath units. Prices range from $180,000’s to $600,000.
Located near Interstate 285 and Atlanta Road West Village is nestled in Charming Vinings in Cobb County and minutes from Downtown Atlanta, Buckhead and Midtown. This mixed-use community will have 1,100 residential units and 190,000SF of retail development. If you are looking for a place to live that offers several housing choices, great accessibility to highways and many of Atlanta’s other neighborhoods along with the ability to walk to shops, restaurants and parks look no further….West Village has all of this and more!
A few of the amenities you will find here are a pool, clubroom with wine tasting lounge and a professional chef’s kitchen. The community has 17 acres of green space and miles of walking trails that connect to the Silver Comet trail. A Starbucks is now open for your morning or evening coffee.
The housing options are for-lease condominiums and townhomes, for sale single family homes, townhomes and condominiums. All of these options are fabulous but my favorite is the single family component being built by Monte Hewett homes; Gateway Park. They are craftsman style homes with large open floor plans, high ceilings, heavy trim and moldings throughout, exquisite finishes and attention to detail. So many I can’t begin to mention them all. The builder is a 100% Premier Earth Craft & Energy Star Certified Builder. A few select homes have basements that are stubbed for a full bath. The homes range in square footage from approx. 2900SF to approx. 4200SF prices are starting in the mid $600’s.
If you are looking for an alternative to the typical condominium building allow me to introduce you to The Aramore. Built in 2002 and 2003 with great attention to detail this is a unique product by an Atlanta developer that allowed the buyers to customize their interior space right down to the knobs on their custom cabinets.
The Aramore offers approximately 24 different floor plans, so no matter what size space you are looking for you have a great chance at finding it here. Studios up to 2 bed 2 baths with a study. The customization offered here was unheard of in the Atlanta market and something you may never find anywhere else in this price point.
The Aramore is a mixed-use community with retail located on street level and home to the renowned Restaurant Eugene. It is located on Peachtree Road between Midtown and Buckhead. You can walk to restaurants, grocery and drug stores, boutiques, spas, banking, parks and just about everything else you might want or need to do.
You park on the same level as your home in a covered parking garage that is gated as this is a mid-rise (8 story) building. There is a walking trail behind the building along Peachtree Creek, the perfect place to walk your dog.
The pool, fitness center and other amenities are currently under construction and are scheduled to be available for enjoyment by next summer.
This week’s installment focuses on affordable and convenient Buckhead condo life. It’s an area where lots of us would like to live because of proximity to work or maybe all of the restaurants and shopping Buckhead has to offer. True there are lots of nice, expensive condos available to those in a certain income bracket, however there are other options for living in Buckhead which allow you to enjoy the same perks of the area.
Buckhead Square is a new conversion in 2005 that offers hardwoods, granite countertops and stainless appliances for those looking for a modern feel. HOA’s tend to be around $150 per month which is great for Atlanta, and all units have new washer and dryer. Units are available from $150,000 and below, so definitely take a look at these condos. Another great location for Buckhead living can be found just up Piedmont from Peachtree at
Habersham of Buckhead. Condos are available below $150,000, and the property has a pool and fitness center for your enjoyment. HOA’s are usually around 200 and below, still great for Atlanta, and the location has easy access to 85, 400 and 285.
Moving to a slightly different location off of Sydney Marcus, Lenox Villas sits atop the hill providing some nice views if you find the right unit. Condos are available below $150,000, and HOA’s are holding steady around $200 per month. 85 is right out your front door for easy Downtown access, and Lenox Mall is right up the street. A few more buildings I would like to mention are SoBu Flats in Buckhead Village, Bradley House on Roswell Rd, 430 Lindbergh near Lindbergh Station, Carrington Park off of Lenox and of course Carlyle Woods from my previous blog.
Please let me know if you would like more information on any of these or the many other Buckhead condo buildings. You can ask for me by name if you submit an email to www.ianmarshall.com and I look forward to assisting you with all of your real estate needs!

One of the condo communities in Midtown worth noticing is Peachtree Walk. The location is fantastic. Peachtree Walk is located between Peachtree Street and West Peachtree on 11th. There so many restaurants in walking distance as well as the new Midtown Publix off Spring Street. Peachtree Walk is also in walking distance to the High Museum, Marta, and entertainment. Because Peachtree Walk is in between two major Atlanta streets, it is on a quiet side street while being so close to so much.
Peachtree Walk offers two large parking garages for residents and guests, a fitness center, pool, business center, beautiful courtyards with grills, and on-site property management. Each unit has a balcony or sunroom. Recently Peachtree Walk replaced carpet and painted in the common area hallways keeping this community looking fresh and up to date. With Peachtree Walk’s healthy association, there was no additional money required to make these very nice changes. The homeowner’s association dues is one of the lowest in Midtown while including lots of great features and services.
What I like most about Peachtree Walk is the large floor plans. Whether it is a 1 bedroom or a 2 bedroom unit, this community offers spacious living rooms, separate dining rooms, and good size bedrooms with ample closet space. Peachtree Walk also has several two level loft style units in addition to one level condo style units. There variety in this community makes it a gem amongst Midtown condos. Peachtree Walk includes 1 bedroom and 2 bedrooms that sell from $140,000’s – $250,000′s.
One of my favorite condo communities in Midtown is Park Central. It is located on Juniper between 13th and 12th adjacent to Einstein and walking distance to Joe’s on Juniper. It has the best amenity package in Midtown with two pools (indoor and outdoor), club house, business center, rooftop terrace, separate cardio & free weight rooms, tanning bed, ping pong room, aerobic/exercise room, saunas, 24 hour concierge, dry cleaning service, gated parking, and it is only one block from Piedmont Park. That’s an amenities package that is hard to find anywhere in Atlanta.
These condos are quite comfortable condo living. They offer a lot more space for the money. Most of the kitchens open to the living room. The bedrooms are a good size able to fit large beds/furniture and flexible enough for those who keep it simple with minimal furnishings. And the bathrooms are some of the largest bathrooms I’ve seen in condo highrises at this price point.
Park Central has 1 bed/1 bath, 1 bed/1 bath with den, 2 bed/1 bath, and 2 bed/ 2 bath units. Prices range from $150,000’s to $300,000. With all of the changes in Midtown, Park Central is a classic with so much to offer.
This week’s focus is a great loft community in Buckhead. Located on Roswell road across the street from Genki, Buckhead Village lofts is a gated community walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants. This building has 1 and 2 bedroom lofts with exposed brick and plenty of large windows which provide a bird’s eye view to all the action below. A slightly hidden bridge in the back of the building leads you to the pool and dog walk. Your concierge screens all visitors to provide a safe and sound living experience.The Borghese
All residents have access to covered parking in the deck which is connected to the main building. Each unit at Buckhead Village lofts has a balcony and some of the lower level lofts have larger patios big enough for out door furniture and grills.
