Westside Future Fund (WFF) is preparing to welcome residents to two transformative developments that continue the organization’s mission of restoring Atlanta’s historic Westside into a community Dr. King would be proud to call home.
646 Echo Street and 839 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard are the next steps in WFF’s ongoing work to expand access to deeply affordable, high-quality housing through its Home on the Westside program — ensuring that legacy residents and those with ties to the community can remain rooted as the neighborhood grows.
The two complexes will provide a total of 57 apartments ranging from studios to 3-bedroom units, and offer deep affordability through units dedicated at 30% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) up to market rate.
646 Echo Street: A New Chapter Near the Beltline
Rising just off Northside Drive in English Avenue, 646 Echo Street will feature 24 apartments across two three-story buildings, located a short walk from the Atlanta Beltline Connector Trail.
The development is part of a growing corridor that blends the Westside’s historic character with new opportunity. Through thoughtful design and affordability commitments, the project will serve residents earning a range of incomes — from 30% to 80% of the AMI.
One of the apartment buildings features a distinctive brick façade that echoes smaller intown apartment communities from a century ago as a part of WFF’s commitment to retaining the historic fabric of the community.
With units ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, and starting at $450 per month for qualified individuals, 646 Echo Street will add much-needed rental options that are both modern and attainable, reflecting WFF’s belief that every Westside neighbor deserves access to quality housing close to opportunity.
839 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard: Affordable Housing in the Heart of the Community
Next door to Kathryn Johnston Memorial Park and just blocks from other major community anchors including the Atlanta University Center and Rodney Cook Sr. Park, 839 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard is another key investment in keeping the historic Westside’s restoration rooted in affordability.
This mixed-use development will offer 33 new rental units and three ground-floor commercial spaces totalling 1,200 square feet, designed to invigorate the key Westside corridor and create neighborhood vibrancy.
Like other WFF developments, units will be reserved for residents who meet the Home on the Westside eligibility criteria — prioritizing legacy residents, returning residents, and those with strong ties to the community.
How to Get Started: The Home on the Westside Pathway
Both properties are part of WFF’s Home on the Westside program, which provides affordable rental and homeownership opportunities for individuals with connections to the community — those who live, work, or learn in the historic Westside neighborhoods of English Avenue, Vine City, Ashview Heights, Just Us and the Atlanta University Center.
Prospective residents can begin the process by completing a simple interest form at westsidefuturefund.org/findmyhotw.
From there, WFF’s housing team guides applicants through eligibility and next steps as new units become available.
