Student Housing in Midtown Atlanta

Midtown Atlanta, a bustling hub of culture, education, and innovation, is a sought-after location for student housing. As home to several prestigious institutions such as Georgia Tech, SCAD Atlanta, and Emory University’s School of Medicine, the demand for quality student accommodations in this area is high. At Sterling Park Properties, we know that constructing a student housing complex involves more than just creating a space for living. It requires attention to the needs of students. For Sterling Park Properties CEO Emmanuel Baptiste, understanding these considerations is essential to delivering a successful project.

Emmanuel says that “I approach the student house design and build as if it were my kids living on the property and consider all the benefits, I would want them to be surrounded by. If not within walking distance to campus, then easy access to public transportation, or parking on site for safety reasons.” Living closer to the college the students attend provides more flexibility in their schedules as commute time is reduced. Think back to your college years and the early morning classes, or extracurricular activities that require late hours on campus.

Emmanuel specifies that “I've had the privilege of constructing a variety of projects, each with its unique challenges. However, few compared to the joy of building a student house designed specifically for cooperative living. This project allowed me to merge my passion for construction with a deep appreciation for community building.”

The open communal area of the house, with living room and kitchen, is where students gather for meals, study sessions, or just to unwind. The home is now beautifully decorated, and amenities like the laundry room and bike storage area cater to the needs of modern students. The five student bedrooms were designed to each include a study area, walk-in-closet, and a decently sized bathroom, offering privacy and personal space per student. “Fostering independence and responsibility in my own kids is close my heart,” explains Emmanuel. “I believe that living off-campus provides young adults with life skills like budgeting, cooking, and time management, preparing students for life beyond college.”

From grocery stores and cafes to gyms and libraries, Midtown Atlanta boasts numerous parks, and cultural attractions like the High Museum of Art, all within walking distance, providing a well-rounded lifestyle, and enhancing the overall student experience. Emmanuel sums it up, “Building this student house has been a reminder of why I love what I do. It's about constructing buildings, and creating spaces where people can live meaningful, connected lives. And in this case, providing students a home where they can succeed individually and collectively. This Sterling Park Properties project has been a testament to the power of cooperative living, and I am honored to have played a part in bringing this vision to life.
