Residents in Atlanta’s south and east sides will soon see more affordable housing options.

Invest Atlanta recently approved the 252 units along the Beltline’s southside and eastside trails, according to a news release about the developments.

Located in Peoplestown, the development 55 Milton will contain 136 units and sit on the Southside Trail, a 4-mile corridor that will connect to the Beltline’s east and west trails.

The BeltLine Affordable Housing Trust Fund contributed $2 million toward each development.
