New micro-home development in College Park provides community and affordable housing for residents

Two newly built micro-homes at College Park's South Park Cottages (DorMiya Vance/WABE).

People are now moving into a micro-housing community built by a Black developer just outside Atlanta.

South Park Cottages is located about 10 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson airport. The complex is referred to as “The Park” by its CEO, Booker T. Washington.

The Park features twenty-nine smaller, modern homes. Residents have between 400 and 600 square feet and a higher chance of ownership. The cost of living in the community falls below $300,000.
