Townhomes for Sale in InTown, Macon-Bibb

Ask any Maconite where the city’s most beautiful homes are located, and they’ll likely point to InTown, the oldest residential neighborhood in the Central City. Colorful historic homes date back to the 19th century and are within walking and biking distance of parks and Mercer University School of Law. Some of Macon’s most prominent citizens lived in the neighborhood and commissioned local architects like Ellamae Ellis League and Neel Reid to construct opulent homes from the 1830s through the early 1900s. Residents are also a short drive from restaurants, houses of worship and downtown Macon. InTown is known for its romantic architecture in every color of the rainbow. The streets are saturated with ornate Victorian, Italianate, American foursquare and revival-style homes, and College Hill has a dense collection of sprawling estates. Many of the area’s largest homes have been retrofitted into multi-family dwellings. “A lot of them are rented, actually,” says Lance Waller, a lifelong Macon resident and Realtor with Fickling & Company. “There are a lot of condos because the homes are so big, so they’ve split off those homes into different units.”Fixer-uppers cost between $60,000 and
