Great Atlanta Condos

I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to tour a luxury condo development in Grant Park called One Grant Park.  This is the only luxury condo building in Grant Park and it is actually located directly across from the park!  I really enjoyed the exterior of the building, it fit in really well with the rest of the neighborhood.  See Pic Below.  Kind of reminded me of a mini castle.   The interiors were pretty nice too, however, for the price (which is $600,000 and above) the developer should have included some additonal features that would have made it worth the $$$.  Things like a jetted tub vs regular tub, they did not inlude a nice stove vent in the kitchen for people who like to cook and some of the units don’t have their own private patios.   But there are only 8 units so it should be a nice quiet setting. Grant Park is a really nice location too, I used to live there for a couple of years and I really miss it.  Having the park to walk in was really nice because it isn’t nearly as busy as Piedmont Park.   So I ask myself would I buy a condo at One Grant Park???  Probably, but I would make the developer put in some additional features!!

Studioplex lofts located on the edge of Inman Park and Edgewood areas is a recently new conversion from an old warehouse into lofts. Studioplex is unique because all of their units are zoned live/work which means that if you are looking for a unique work environment you can buy one of these units for your business. Live/work lofts are pretty rare to find in Atlanta, but when they come available they tend to sell fast. The benefit of purchasing a unit that is zoned live/work is when you have to resell it you can advertise to residential buyers and business buyers. Perhaps a better investment? Maybe, but I have also heard that folks who bought just to live in don’t like being next door to a ton of business’. However, once they start putting in restaurants I am sure they won’t be complaining because they have something to walk to! There are also a couple of other buildings that are zoned live/work which include Sager Lofts, located in Poncey-Highland and the A & P Lofts located in the Memorial Corridor near Reynoldstown. Sager lofts have been sold out for quite some time, however, there a couple of resales that have popped up on the market recently. A & P Lofts are down to just a couple of units remaining for sale through the developer, but again a couple of resales have popped up recently as well.

If you are in the hunt for a live/work condo or loft, feel free to email me and I will see if I can dig up some other units available. Email me at nesa@theloftstop.com . - Nesa Kleinheksel - 9 Mile Trolley Realty

So where does one go to find a luxury condo that is not located in Midtown, Downtown or in Buckhead?  Many potential buyers are starting to look towards the Decatur area.  Decatur has really evolved over the last couple of years and is quickly becoming the new hot spot for condos.  Decatur is located about 10 miles east of downtown.  Many people who look at Decatur for their new condos are employees that work at the CDC and Emory.  

So what does Decatur have to offer for luxury condos?  335 West Ponce Lofts are probably one of the most intriquing buildings in Decatur.  335 West Ponce Lofts was erected just over 2 years ago with “soft” loft qualities including cement floors and high ceilings.  Each unit comes with a balcony or large terrace.  Their penthouse units are all 2 stories with large private terraces.  The building has wonderful amenities including swimming pool, fitness center, garage parking and a building security person on site. 

Next to 335 West Ponce is the Artisan Condos.  The Artisan Condos are definitely your more traditional style condo.  I wasn’t highly impressed with these and their quality of construction, I much preferred 335 Ponce but if you are looking for a 3 bedroom condo in Decatur than this might be the only place to look. 

One of the original condo buildings in Decatur is Towne Square condos.  This building also offers luxury penthouse condos which are 3 bedrooms.  Again, traditional style condo and the one negative thing I have heard about them is that you can hear noise from the adjoining neighbors.

All three of these buildings are located in the heart of Decatur(aka “the Square”).  Things to do in Decatur include heading out to hear one of the local bands at Eddies Attic.  I first heard Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland peform at this venue and then head over to one of the many restaurants including Birdies, Paris, Brick Store, Sweet Devil Moon and so much more.  To learn more about Decatur visit their website at www.decaturga.com .
