Skills That You Can Learn In The Real Estate Market

When most people hear a “Peachtree Street” address they assume they can’t afford it. Most people are wrong. The William-Oliver Building has stood at Five Points since 1930, when it became Atlanta’s first Art Deco skyscraper. Nearly a century later, you can own a freshly updated two-bedroom, two-bath condo inside this historic landmark for $174,900. Let that number sink in for a moment. This is 2 bedrooms, 2 baths with over 1000 square feet, on THE Peachtree Street, in a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with a brass-and-marble lobby that still turns heads every time you walk through it. Unit 1307 sits on the 13th floor, where the skyline views remind you exactly where you are: the center of everything. The interior is being freshly updated right now and will go live on the market Thursday, April 2nd, so what you’re reading is your head start. The building itself takes care of nearly everything a downtown resident could want: 24/7 concierge at the front desk, secured fob entry at the doors and elevators, a rooftop pool and clubhouse with panoramic city views, a fitness center, business center, and bike storage. Step outside and you’re standing at the crossroads of Atlanta’s past and future. Woodruff Park is directly across the street. Centennial Olympic Park, the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are all within walking distance. The Five Points MARTA station puts every corner of the city within reach without a car. Georgia State University is essentially next door, which makes this an especially smart play for any parent doing the math on four years of campus-area rent versus building equity in a condo their student actually lives in. Behind the building on Broad Street, you’ll find a growing stretch of restaurants and coffee shops fueled by the university crowd. Underground Atlanta’s ongoing transformation continues to bring new retail and energy to the block. And the Azalea Fresh Market on Edgewood keeps everyday grocery runs simple. At $174,900, this is not a compromise. This is a Peachtree Street address in a historic Art Deco high-rise with real amenities, real views, and a price point that makes the monthly math work whether you’re a first-time buyer stepping into ownership, a young professional who wants to live where the city actually lives, or a savvy parent turning tuition-town rent into a long-term asset. Condos in this building with this combination of updates, floor height, and views do not come around at this price often. The coming soon window is short. Call your agent and get on the schedule before April 2nd.
