Orchard Knob Multifamily Home for Sale

Located alongside Highway 54, Orchard Knob is an urban community of around 700 people that’s seen a lot of development in recent years. In 1916, little more than a schoolhouse stood in this grassy, rural area in south Atlanta. Today, the neighborhood has seen all kinds of new additions, including 260 homes, community churches, a few towing and tire companies and the Masjid Ash-Shura mosque, which sits on 20 acres in the southeastern end. “Orchard Knob has grown,” mosque founder Amir Faheed Ail Muwwakkil says. “When we first got there, there weren’t even any sidewalks – we put in the first sidewalks in that area.” Most houses on the southern end range between traditional and ranch-style, and most list between $150,000 and $300,000. More Craftsman homes are available around Village Creek Drive in the west at a slightly higher price point between $175,000 and $350,000. New townhomes and contemporary houses will be most expensive around the north, costing as much as $625,000, and open land is available for development starting at $100,000 an acre. “Most of the place was wooded in our area,” Muwwakkil says. “Now we have houses costing $500,000 across the north throughout that corridor.
