Northwest Auburn Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Northwest Auburn, a historically Black neighborhood, has seen significant changes over the past decade, particularly following the 2008 housing crash. The city’s Northwest Auburn Neighborhood Plan has aimed to revitalize the area by removing blighted buildings, adding affordable housing, and changing zoning to attract businesses. Newer homes, often Craftsman-inspired, are located off Shug Jordan Parkway and around Donahue Drive, while the central area features mid-20th century ranch and national style homes. The neighborhood is primarily residential, with mixed-use development plans along Donahue Drive and Martin Luther King Drive still in progress. Residents have access to upgraded parks like Sam Harris Park and Martin Luther King Park, which offer playgrounds, pavilions, and open recreation spaces. Westview Park and the Shug Jordan Soccer Complex provide additional recreational options. The Boykin Community Center serves as a hub for community programs, including senior activities and after-school programs. The Auburn Housing Authority hosts an annual Fall Festival, fostering community spirit. Northwest Auburn benefits from proximity to downtown Auburn and Auburn University, with the Auburn University Tiger Transit system serving the area. The neighborhood is safer than the national average. Schools in the area are highly rated, including Yarbrough Elementary, Richland Elementary, Creekside Elementary, J.F. Drake Middle, East Samford School, Auburn Junior High, and Auburn High School.
