About This Home:
This is a delightful 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo for sale at Freedom Heights in Atlanta's popular Poncey-Highland neighborhood. Freedom Heights is a newer development (2001) located less than a block from The PATH and Freedom Parkway. This unit features: an entry foyer with coat closet; a large living/dining room with patio doors to a Juliet balcony; an open kitchen with granite counters and breakfast bar; separate laundry closet; a spacious bedroom with oversized windows; walk-in closet; and a large bathroom (accessible from both the bedroom and the entry hall) with granite-topped vanity with dressing table, tub/shower with tile surround, and linen closet. Residents of Freedom Heights enjoy an excellent array of amenities, including a fitness center, swimming pool, dog walk, and assigned garage parking.
Freedom Heights is located in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood, which is bordered by the neighborhoods of Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Druid Hills, and Midtown. This is a vibrant part of town with lots of new development in addition to existing neighborhood business districts. The new Ponce Park multi-use development will convert City Hall East into 182,610 sq. ft. of retail space, 154,380 sq. ft. of office space, and over 1,100 new residential units. Development on this project is scheduled to begin this summer. [Get more info.] There are several existing neighborhood business districts in the vicinity, including Highland Row, Little Five Points, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Highland. Nearby Midtown Place (just a few blocks away on Ponce de Leon across from City Hall East) gives you easy access to Whole Foods, Home Depot, and Borders as well as a wide variety of other shops and restaurants. A short drive takes you to the new Edgewood Retail District (just past Little 5 Points) where you'll find 500,000 sq. ft. of retail including major national chains such as Lowes, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Best Buy.
A large parcel of land near this building has been purchased by The Trust for Public Land to become one of the largest parks on the proposed beltline. [More info.] Just down Ralph McGill you'll find an entrance to the existing Freedom Park and The PATH (intown's multi-use urban trail, which is popular with area runners, walkers, skaters, and others). Nearby Candler Park is home to a public executive length golf course, swimming pool, sports fields, and a new playground; and Goldsboro Park offers tennis and basketball courts.
Poncey-Highland is convenient to both the Edgewood-Candler Park and Inman Park/Reynoldstown MARTA rail stations, and is a very easy commute to anywhere downtown as well as Emory University. This location also provides easy access to I-75/85 (via Freedom Parkway), GA 400 and I-20.
