Townhome project floated near historic Atlanta cemetery Josh Green Tue, 02/25/2025 - 14:05 In Southwest Atlanta, city-approved plans for a townhome venture are being offered for sale within walking distance of the Beltline and one of the Southeast’s most gorgeous historic graveyards.
The 25-unit townhome proposal would replace a church property at 1591 Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Westview.
The 1.1-acre site is across the street from the largest civilian cemetery in the Southeast, Westview Cemetery. The scenic greenspace spans nearly 600 acres, dates to the 1880s, and has hosted more than 100,000 interments.
In the other direction, the Beltline’s Westside Trail—and Enota Park, where a multifaceted expansion is set to kick off this year—is located about five blocks away.

According to a Coldwell Banker Commercial Metro Brokers listing posted last week, the Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard site has been entitled for 25 townhomes, with a Special Administrative Permit already approved to begin development.
The $2.3 million asking price includes those plans and survey documents, per the listing.
Fulton County property records indicate an LLC called RDA Development bought the 1.09-acre site from the church two years ago for $90,000.
