Are you working with an agent? If yes, Seller will cover the buyer's agent commission up to 2.5% of the sales price. If no, work with Ashton and the JLG sales team directly and Seller can offer a credit of up to $6,000 toward closing costs and/or unit upgrades. Additionally, working with our preferred lender adds a preferred lender origination credit, FHLB funds of $15,000–$20,000, or Georgia DREAM funds of $10,000–$12,500.

$10,000

However it helps you most

Get an accepted offer on any available home by September 30 and put $10,000 where it does the most good for you. Take it one way or split it across all three.

Closing costs

Keep more cash in your pocket on closing day, and bring less to the table to get there.

Rate buydown

Lower your interest rate and your monthly payment instead of your upfront cost.

Appliances

Move in with the kitchen and laundry already handled, rather than buying them after closing.

This is separate from the programs below. Down payment assistance, FHLB grants, and Georgia DREAM funds are awarded by outside agencies and lenders. Your lender can show you how they stack.

Buying Near the Atlanta BeltLine: Common Questions

What is the $10,000 September incentive at The Heights on Boulevard?

Buyers with an accepted offer on an available home at The Heights on Boulevard on or before September 30, 2026 receive a $10,000 incentive that can be applied however it helps them most: toward closing costs, a mortgage interest rate buydown, an appliance package, or a combination of the three. It is applied at closing, is not redeemable for cash, and is subject to lender approval. It is offered by the seller and is separate from the down payment assistance programs described below, which are administered by Invest Atlanta and other outside agencies.

What is it like living near the Atlanta BeltLine?

The Atlanta BeltLine is a 22-mile loop of former rail corridor being converted into multi-use trails, parks, and transit connecting more than 40 intown neighborhoods. Living near it means walkable access to green space, restaurants, and retail without depending on a car for every errand. The Heights on Boulevard sits in Boulevard Heights, roughly two blocks from the BeltLine's Southside Trail, which links the Grant Park, Chosewood Park, and Peoplestown areas toward Glenwood Park and the Eastside Trail.

What is the Atlanta BeltLine Mortgage Assistance Program?

Launched in July 2026 by Invest Atlanta and Atlanta BeltLine, Inc., it provides up to $20,000 in mortgage assistance to qualified homebuyers purchasing inside the BeltLine Tax Allocation District, or up to $30,000 for public sector employees and legacy residents. Funds can be applied to a down payment, closing costs, a permanent interest rate buydown, or a combination. The program is administered by Invest Atlanta, not by Justin Landis Group.

Do homes at The Heights on Boulevard qualify for BeltLine down payment assistance?

Yes. 1160 Boulevard SE falls inside the eligible BeltLine district, and the homes are priced below the program's $400,000 maximum loan amount — a threshold that rules out a large share of new construction along the BeltLine. Individual buyer eligibility still depends on income, credit, household size, and available program funding, all determined by Invest Atlanta and its participating lenders.

What down payment assistance programs are available for Atlanta homebuyers?

Buyers in Atlanta may be able to combine several sources depending on their situation: the Atlanta BeltLine Mortgage Assistance Program through Invest Atlanta, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) workforce housing grants, and Georgia DREAM funds for FHA loans. Builder and seller incentives at The Heights on Boulevard may also apply. Which combination is available — and which leaves you better off — depends on your loan type and income, so it is worth a single conversation with a preferred lender rather than guessing.

Are there first-time homebuyer incentives on new construction townhomes in Atlanta?

Often, yes. At The Heights on Boulevard, current incentives include a $10,000 seller incentive for buyers with an accepted offer by September 30, 2026, applied to closing costs, a rate buydown, appliances, or a combination. Buyers may also receive a seller-paid buyer's agent commission of up to 2.5%, or a credit of up to $6,000 toward closing costs and upgrades for buyers working directly with the Justin Landis Group sales team, plus a preferred lender origination credit.

What neighborhood is 1160 Boulevard SE in?

Boulevard Heights, a small residential pocket in southeast Atlanta near Chosewood Park and Grant Park, inside ZIP code 30312. It offers fee-simple new construction townhomes with rooftop patios within a short walk of the BeltLine Southside Trail and a short drive to downtown Atlanta, the airport corridor, and I-75/85.

The $10,000 September incentive requires an accepted offer and a fully executed binding purchase agreement on or before September 30, 2026, and closing per the terms of that agreement. It is applied at closing, is not redeemable for cash, may not be combined with other seller incentives except as expressly stated, and is subject to lender approval and program guidelines. The Atlanta BeltLine Mortgage Assistance Program is administered by Invest Atlanta and funded by Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. Justin Landis Group is not a lender and does not administer, approve, or guarantee this or any other assistance program. Program terms, income limits, award amounts, and available funding are set by Invest Atlanta and are subject to change or exhaustion without notice. All figures shown are for illustration purposes only — buyer eligibility and individual circumstances should be discussed with a lender directly. Nothing here is an offer of credit or a commitment to lend. Pricing and availability subject to change. Offers subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Equal Housing Opportunity.
