    Atlanta Real Estate Forum has recently featured some renderings, descriptions and pricing on the two, new townhome developments rising on either side of Hillyer Place along East Howard Avenue (Streetview).

    Monte Hewett Homes is building 24, three-story townhomes along West Howard Ave east of Hillyer Place. According to Atlanta Real Estate Forum, the townhomes will include private outdoor courtyards, iron balconies a community garden and green space.  You can view a site plan of the development HERE.

    They are priced starting at $589,000 with two different floor plans available and are scheduled to be completed next spring.

    On the west side of Hillyer, John Weiland Homes and Neighborhoods is constructing 11 four-story townhomes, according to the Forum, which include rooftop terraces and two car garages.

    Units are available starting at $500,000, according to the site.

    Hillyer/East Howard Townhomes Seek Residential Use in Commercial Zone Approval

    Decatur Metro | January 21, 2014 | 10:57 am

    Another item of note on tonight’s Decatur City Commission agenda.  The developer of the already-approved 24 townhomes on the west side of Hillyer Place and East Howard is requesting residential use in a commercial zoning district to expand the project across Hillyer on the current site of a vacant industrial building.

    According to the project application, the project would consist of 11 townhomes that all face the street with two car garage parking in the rear and 6 foot wide sidewalks.

    According to the staff report included with the application, the applicant is seeking the following exceptions for the project…

    • Residential Use in a Commercial District
    • Lifecycle Density Bonus
    • Exceptions to the HDSF Design Standards
    • Exceptions to the Special Pedestrian Area Requirements

    You can read the full details of each requested exception in the staff report.  (It’s all a bit more complex than the summarized list above suggests.) The Decatur Planning Commission recommended approval of the plan in their January meeting earlier this month.
