Rent Cafe, an apartment finding service, reports that approximately 8,200 new apartments were added to the Atlanta Market in 2016, down slightly from the 8,300 added in 2015.

“Many of these new apartment buildings are full-blown, large-scale developments with parks, professional-like sports courts, golf courses, and other lavish auxiliaries meant to draw the high-end renters’ attention,” the company reported.

But the multitude of new apartments has kept rent prices in Atlanta low compared with other markets around the country.

“Rents in the Atlanta metro area grew by a moderate 5.5 percent in 2016, keeping the average rent for the area around $1,128 as of the end of last year, below the national average,” the website reported.

Apartment building in Beltline neighborhoods continues as the entity managing the multi-use trail, Atlanta BeltLine Inc., grapples with how to provide more affordable housing options.
