Downtown Auburn's premier condominium with a prime location
Magnolia Plaza, a five-story condominium building in the heart of downtown Auburn, offers 70 units with a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Completed in 1987, this residential complex has become a cornerstone of urban living in Auburn, providing residents with unparalleled access to the vibrant city center and Auburn University campus. Its location at Toomer's Corner puts residents at the epicenter of Auburn's rich traditions and lively atmosphere, particularly during football season when the area comes alive with Tiger pride.
Versatile layouts with modern upgrades and stunning views
Magnolia Plaza offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy studios to spacious two-bedroom units. Studios, measuring approximately 700 square feet, provide an efficient living space for singles or students. One-bedroom units, also around 700 square feet with one bathroom, are available from $323,954 to $342,578. For those seeking more space, two-bedroom units range from 741 to 1,233 square feet, featuring two bathrooms and commanding prices around $470,000.
Many units have undergone recent renovations, boasting modern finishes and amenities. Kitchens in updated units showcase quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and trendy backsplashes. Throughout the condos, high-end LVP flooring adds a touch of sophistication, while plantation shutters, installed as recently as 2022 in some units, provide both style and privacy.
The bathrooms in renovated units have been completely overhauled with ceramic showers, new vanities, comfort-height toilets, and recessed lighting. Living areas are designed for comfort and functionality, with some featuring pull-out couches to accommodate guests.
One of the most coveted features of Magnolia Plaza is the views. Top-floor units offer some of the most unique vistas in Auburn, with some residences providing a direct view of Toomer's Corner - perfect for watching the area fill with fans on game days. Other units boast breathtaking views of the Auburn Chapel's steeple, adding a touch of historic charm to the modern living experience.
Comprehensive amenities for a comfortable urban lifestyle
Magnolia Plaza offers a range of amenities designed to enhance residents' daily lives. The building features a fitness center, allowing residents to maintain their workout routines without leaving home. For those who enjoy outdoor relaxation, a rooftop terrace provides a perfect spot to unwind and take in the city views.
Convenience is key at Magnolia Plaza, with 24-hour access ensuring residents can come and go as they please. Laundry facilities within the building make daily chores more manageable. The building also prioritizes security, with a comprehensive security system in place for residents' peace of mind.
A concierge service adds an extra layer of convenience, assisting with various needs and inquiries. For those hot Auburn days, residents can cool off in the building's pool, a welcome respite from the Southern heat.
Each unit is equipped with a fully-functional kitchen, featuring ice makers and stainless steel appliances for a modern cooking experience. Ample storage is provided with walk-in closets, a practical touch for urban living.
Parking, often a challenge in bustling downtown areas, is simplified at Magnolia Plaza. The building provides access to a parking deck, with one space included in the monthly HOA fee, ensuring residents always have a place to park in the heart of the city.
At the heart of Auburn's vibrant downtown and university life
Magnolia Plaza sits at the epicenter of downtown Auburn, a neighborhood that perfectly blends college town energy with small-city charm. The iconic Toomer's Corner, just steps away, serves as the focal point of community celebrations, particularly after Auburn Tigers football victories when the area transforms into a sea of toilet paper-draped trees and jubilant fans.
The neighborhood is a shopper's paradise, with a variety of boutiques within easy walking distance. Ellie Clothing, less than a quarter-mile away, offers trendy women's fashion, while Behind the Glass, a longtime fixture in Auburn, provides a curated selection of contemporary clothes and accessories just a short stroll from Magnolia Plaza.
Culinary options abound in the area. The 1856 - Culinary Residence, about a 10-minute walk from the building, offers a refined dining experience. For those seeking a quick bite or gourmet ingredients, Foodies Gourmet & Bodega is just a short drive away.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several green spaces. The Donald E. Davis Arboretum, a 13.5-acre haven of Southeastern native plants with walking paths, is about a mile away, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful afternoon.
The neighborhood's character is deeply intertwined with Auburn University, creating a dynamic atmosphere that shifts with the academic calendar. Game days transform the area into a hive of activity, with Jordan-Hare Stadium less than half a mile away. The university's influence extends beyond sports, infusing the neighborhood with cultural events, academic energy, and a constant influx of fresh ideas.
Recent additions to the area, including downtown locations for Target and Publix, have further enhanced the neighborhood's convenience, allowing residents to easily access essentials without venturing far from home.
Walkable urban core with easy access to campus and beyond
Magnolia Plaza's downtown location puts it at the center of a highly walkable urban environment. The neighborhood's excellent walkability means that many of Auburn's attractions, shops, and restaurants are just a short stroll away, reducing the need for frequent car use.
For those who prefer two wheels, the area is very bike-friendly. The relatively flat terrain and bike-aware community make cycling a practical and enjoyable option for getting around town and campus.
While public transit options are limited, the building's central location mitigates this for many residents. Auburn University's Tiger Transit system serves the university community, providing bus routes throughout Auburn and neighboring Opelika.
For longer trips or air travel, residents often make the 100-mile drive to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, providing access to destinations across the country and beyond.
The building's parking deck ensures that car owners always have a secure spot for their vehicles, making it easy to keep a car for trips outside the immediate area or for commuting to locations beyond walking or biking distance.
