This top-floor Waldrop Park condo delivers practical square footage and effortless access to metro Atlanta without sacrificing privacy. Enter into an open living room and dedicated dining area where the layout supports simple entertaining and everyday life.

The kitchen is appointed with plentiful cabinetry and counter space, thoughtfully arranged for efficiency and everyday cooking. Central air keeps the home comfortable year-round. Thoughtful touches like defined dining space and storage closets throughout the unit maximize the 1,292 square feet and make the floorplan feel larger than its footprint.

This is a top-floor, move-in-ready residence that will appeal to first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike — there are no rental restrictions, an important detail for those adding to a portfolio.
Location is a compelling part of the story: minutes from South Dekalb Mall, neighborhood parks, restaurants, public transit options, and quick on-ramps to I-285 and I-20 for commutes into downtown Atlanta.

This condominium sits in the more affordable segment of Decatur’s housing offerings: listed at $110,000 with an estimated value midpoint matching that list price and a price-per-square-foot around $85.

Condos in accessible Decatur locations often move quickly when priced below area single-family medians because they provide a lower-cost entry to the market and easy access to Atlanta employment centers.
