Overview
City Heights Condominiums commands a prominent position on Ralph McGill Boulevard at the crossroads of Midtown and Old Fourth Ward. Rising 20 stories and 257 feet above the streetscape, the tower offers panoramic views that sweep from the glass peaks of Midtown and Buckhead to the north, across the Downtown skyline to the south, and out toward Stone Mountain to the east. Completed in 1980, the community encompasses a high-rise tower alongside garden-style residences and townhome buildings, creating a varied residential campus set within more than five acres of private green space.
Architecture and Design
The tower presents a clean, modernist silhouette defined by a brick-and-concrete facade, rows of private balconies, and vertical pilaster accents that lend the building a rhythmic proportion. A glass-canopied lobby entrance opens to a staffed concierge desk, reinforcing a doorman-building sensibility. Residences have been updated over the decades, and today's interiors frequently feature hardwood or luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing expansive city vistas.
Residences
Floor plans span one, two, and three bedrooms from 560 to 1,478 square feet. One-bedroom homes start near $130,000, while three-bedroom residences (a rarity in Atlanta condominium buildings) reach approximately $310,000. Most units include private balconies, walk-in closets, and open-concept living areas. Many owners have completed contemporary renovations introducing quartz countertops, subway-tile backsplashes, and modern lighting that complement the generous proportions of the original layouts.
Amenities
City Heights delivers a resort-caliber amenity suite anchored by a Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool and hot tub, surrounded by a sun deck and outdoor grilling stations. A recently renovated fitness center keeps residents moving without a gym membership. The community's five-plus acres of landscaped grounds include a dedicated dog park and walking trails, a clubhouse, and a meeting room that doubles as a business center. A 24/7 front-desk concierge, electronic fob-secured gate access, private security, and assigned underground parking reinforce the gated-community atmosphere. Bike storage, guest parking, and on-site laundry facilities round out the everyday conveniences.
Location and Lifestyle
Dining and Retail Nearby
City Heights sits less than a mile from Ponce City Market, the celebrated food hall and retail destination housed in the historic Sears, Roebuck and Co. building. Krog Street Market is a short bike ride along the Beltline, offering artisan vendors and casual eateries. Edgewood Avenue's vibrant nightlife corridor is minutes away, and the Sweet Auburn Curb Market provides fresh produce and prepared foods in a storied civic setting. Fine-dining destinations such as Staplehouse and neighborhood favorites along the Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park dining scenes are all within easy reach.
The Lifestyle
The Atlanta Beltline's Eastside Trail is roughly 0.7 miles from the front door, connecting residents to a 22-mile loop of parks, public art, and pedestrian pathways threading through the city's most sought-after intown neighborhoods. Old Fourth Ward Park, Freedom Park, and the Carter Presidential Center grounds offer additional outdoor escapes. The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, Centennial Olympic Park, and the Georgia Aquarium are all within one mile. The Civic Center MARTA station provides Gold and Red Line rail service, and Interstate 75/85 is a short drive away. For residents who value walkability, cultural depth, and direct connectivity to Atlanta's trail network, City Heights presents one of the most compelling value propositions inside the Perimeter.
