This installment of Curbed Comparisons examines what $500,000 purchases around Atlanta as spring selling season arrives.
This price point seems to offer a good mix of properties in desirable, varied locations. Each of these homes has similarities, including overall size; most have two bedrooms and three bathrooms, recent updates, and off-street parking. Interestingly enough, though, while three are new listings, two are experiencing longer tenures on the market.

With two bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,464 square feet, this 1942 house in Loring Heights is an “incredibly cute cottage.” The listing states a bonus room doubles as a guest room and office, but it looks more like a sunroom. There’s a small outbuilding in the backyard, but there’s no indication of what’s inside, so it could be just storage. Off-street parking is prevalent, though, with two driveways. Current ask: $495,000.

High above Buckhead on the 33rd floor of the Buckhead Grand, this 1,273-square-foot condo features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also has new paint, a new washer and dryer, and a new HVAC system. However, while the listing states this is a “rare opportunity for a unit to become available on this floor,” it’s been on the market for more than 200 days. The price has received $50,000 in reductions since September, with the current price standing at $499,000.

After a full renovation, this 1940 brick home in East Lake (called “Kirkwood” in the listing) now showcases an open floorplan with family room and kitchen, plus three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,818 square feet.

Current asking price is $499,900.
