Promising an “exceptional portrait” of “intown Atlanta suburban living,” a sizable residential development near the junction of Kirkwood and East Atlanta is on pace to start opening this month, according to project officials.
Christened with the portmanteau “EastWood Townhomes,” the 103-unit project continues two intown trends especially prevalent near Memorial Drive: the influx of new townhome product and former church properties being redeveloped for different purposes.
According to Sam Mitchell, an associate with developer Urban Realty Partners, the first EastWood buildings are on pace to start delivering in late April. A phased delivery throughout the summer will follow that.
EastWood rents start at $1,740 monthly for what’s considered a one-bedroom, one-bathroom “flat” unit with 625 square feet.

The largest townhome option listed to date—three bedrooms and three and ½ bathrooms in 1,709 square feet—starts at $3,600 right now. Floorplans have yet to be posted, but Mitchell says 3D floorplan models are coming to the EastWood website soon.
Situated about four miles due east of downtown, the EastWood project broke ground in summer 2022 and demolished the fire-damaged Gospel Tabernacle Cathedral, a 1980s church property once headed by prominent pastor Wiley Jackson and operated as part of World in Action Ministries.
The 4-acre community is located in the 200 block of Clifton Street, between quickly developing Memorial Drive and Interstate 20 on Kirkwood’s southern fringes, with Alonzo A. Crim High School and its sports fields across the street.
The project architect, Lessard Design firm, also drew up rental townhomes taking shape on Arizona Avenue in Edgewood.
