MONTGOMERY PARK

DEVELOPER: Marietta Housing Authority
Montgomery Park is a Marietta Housing Authority initiative to replace the former Lyman Homes apartments with 45 single family homes. The new development is named for its Montgomery Street area location near North Marietta Parkway and Cherokee Street approximately 1.0 miles northeast of the Marietta Square and 2.0 miles from the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center and City Club golf course.

PROJECT DETAILS
Montgomery Park’s homes are priced from the low $200,000s to the mid $300,000s. Thirty percent or approximately 15 homes at Montgomery Park will be reserved for entry level homebuyers, through the MHA Initiative for Homeownership Opportunities, to create a seamless mixed-income community. The Marietta Housing Authority completed demolition of existing buildings in spring 2007. Site infrastructure is scheduled to begin in 2008. A residential builder will be selected through a request for proposal process.
