When most people hear a “Peachtree Street” address, they assume they cannot 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 $164,500. Let that number sink in for a moment. This is two bedrooms, two baths, and more than 1,000 square feet on THE Peachtree Street, inside 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 building itself takes care of nearly everything a downtown resident could want, including a 24/7 concierge, 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 are 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, making this an especially compelling option for parents 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 will find a growing stretch of restaurants and coffee shops fueled by the university community. Underground Atlanta’s ongoing transformation continues to bring new retail and energy to the block, while the Azalea Fresh Market on Edgewood keeps everyday grocery runs simple. At $164,500, this is not a compromise. It is a Peachtree Street address in a historic Art Deco high-rise with real amenities, real views, and a price point that opens the door for a first-time buyer, a young professional who wants to live where the city actually lives, or a savvy parent turning campus-area rent into a long-term asset. Condos offering this combination of updates, floor height, views, amenities, and historic character do not come along at this price often. Call your agent and schedule a showing.
