Atlanta Habitat for Humanity has cleared the land and has broke ground on Langston Park, a master-planned community in the historic Sylvan Hills neighborhood that introduces townhome-style homes for the first time in the organization’s 42-year history.
Announced in early 2025, Langston Park aims to expand homeownership opportunities by offering a more diverse mix of housing types that are modern, sustainable, and efficient.
Langston Park Being Built in Atlanta’s Sylvan Hills Neighborhood
The development will feature attached townhomes in configurations of 2-, 4-, and 6-unit buildings, designed with contemporary aesthetics similar to Atlanta Habitat’s popular two-story single-family homes but incorporating shared walls to maximize space and affordability.
Future phases of townhome construction are planned to include 2- and 3-story options with 3- or 4-bedroom layouts, providing flexibility for families of varying sizes.
Situated at 1579 Langston Ave. on the western edge of Sylvan Hills, the site offers strong connectivity: it’s near two MARTA stations (including the Oakland City station), the Westside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline, and nearby green spaces. This location supports easier access to transit, walking paths, and community amenities—key advantages for future residents.
Homebuyers who join Atlanta Habitat’s program starting in 2025 will have the chance to purchase these brand-new townhomes, marking a historic shift from the organization’s traditional focus on standalone single-family homes. Construction on the project is scheduled to begin in 2026.
Langston Park represents Atlanta Habitat’s second major planned development in Sylvan Hills and is envisioned as a higher-density community overall. Master plans call for up to approximately 68 homes across the roughly eight-acre site, including around 40 townhomes, 18 duplexes, and 10 single-family homes.
The project will gain national attention in May 2026 when it hosts the 40th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project
From May 3-8, thousands of volunteers are expected to converge on the site to build 24 new homes—single-family units and townhomes—in just five days, kicking off broader construction efforts.
Atlanta Habitat encourages prospective homebuyers interested in Langston Park to apply through their monthly homebuyer program opportunities.
The organization also invites community members to support the initiative by donating, volunteering on construction or other teams, or contributing goods to its ReStores.
