About This Short
Affordable housing in Atlanta usually comes with an asterisk.
On paper, it sounds good. In real life, not so much.
That’s why this Buckhead deal matters.
A historic Peachtree Road tower is being preserved as fully mixed-income housing, not just a few set-aside units. Over 600 apartments. Locked in affordability. One of Atlanta’s highest-opportunity neighborhoods.
This isn’t about lowering standards.
It’s about redefining access.
