The contestants in today’s installment of Curbed Comparisons stand as proof that stylish Atlanta living quarters at relatively cheap prices do exists in locations that are anything but far-flung.
Find them on two main thoroughfares of Castleberry Hill, in the shadow of quickly changing downtown, within shouting distance of Philips Arena, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Centennial Olympic Park, and whatever The Gulch shall one day become.
One loft celebrates its ancient aspects with smart restraint, while its chipper opponent just might turn a bad day sunny.
Let’s have a closer look:

Listed four days ago, this airy unit at Market Lofts has single-person’s paradise written all over it.
Glowing with natural light, courtesy of huge windows and an unexpected skylight, this ground-floor flat’s design incorporates gorgeous wood flooring and fantastic, vertical beams that just might date to the building’s postbellum origins. It’s not wanting for character, but for some, the one-bedroom, one-parking-slot arrangement could be a squeeze.
The 14-unit building was converted to lofts in 2000, per Central Atlanta Progress. It’s gated and includes access to a community rooftop with sweeping city views.

This lively, wide-open flat on Castleberry’s Walker Street offers more square footage at a lower price, but with a much heftier monthly HOA commitment.
From the shiny pine floors to the dashing blue backsplash and creative bedroom layout, it’s a fun-loving pad that’s not afraid to take chances. Bonus points for the vintage pinball machine.
Listed this past weekend at $219,900, it also offers a single parking space and shared rooftop soiree zone, an easy stroll from nearby dining and Atlanta’s pro sports coliseums.
