Nobody moves to — or within — Atlanta for identical reasons. So why shouldn’t a living space adapt to residents’ various needs? That’s the ethos behind Jamestown’s living options at Ponce City Market: Scout Living, Signal House, and The FLATS. There’s a space for everyone at the community hub, no matter their age, needs, or the duration of their stay.
Those looking for a flexible living situation should consider Scout Living, where a stay can last anywhere from a day to a year. “The goal of Scout is to provide a frictionless living situation,” says Michael Phillips, President of Jamestown. “If you have your first job or you’re relocating into Atlanta from somewhere else, you can come and live in a furnished, really chic one or two bedroom micro apartment and have all the amenities of Ponce and have a flexible term to stay there.” Having a home base in the heart of Atlanta makes relocating easier, whether you’re coming from outside the perimeter or the opposite end of the country. With separate living and sleeping spaces for an at-home feel, each unit features functional minimalism with fully equipped galley kitchens stocked with a dishwasher, full refrigerator, stovetop, oven, kitchen sink, and cooking essentials like pots & pans, utensils, serve ware, and salt & pepper.
“It’s designed to be also a place for people who might be in the market three or four days a week or for a long-term project and want to maintain a place here,” Phillips says. Flexible living situations like Scout Living (what Phillips calls “hospitality living”) are a great fit for someone just starting their career, or restarting it in one of the South’s most dynamic cities — their workspace might even be a quick bike ride down the Beltline.
Ponce City Market also has a sophisticated and connected community within a community: Signal House. Providing a frictionless urban living experience that integrates digital convenience with high-touch analog support, Signal House is home to amenity spaces and programming that are organized around wellness and designed to support a social lifestyle. Signal House can be a great option for people looking to be closer to family in Atlanta, downsizing, or splitting time between an apartment and a vacation home.
Of course, Ponce City Market also offers a more traditional housing situation: historic, spacious and fully furnished lofts. The FLATS at Ponce City Market combine historic design and architecture with modern convenience.
The mix of adaptable living situations caters to a wide range of lifestyles and stages of life. “This whole idea of proximity and how you can have a range of living experiences in the same place was really what we focused on creating,” Phillips says.
Ponce City Market’s amenities are just another avenue for flexibility. All three communities allow pets (consistent with other communities’ weight and size restrictions) and offer in-unit washers and dryers, bike storage, cleaning, and repair, rooftop and pool access, and multiple gyms — and that of course doesn’t even include having the Beltline as your backyard and Ponce City Market’s shops, restaurants, wellness studios, and modern healthcare practices as your neighbors.
Anyone aggrieved at the thought of navigating Atlanta traffic or trying to find a parking spot will be pleased to learn that living at Ponce City Market doesn’t require the use of a car. These properties are steps away from the Eastside Beltline Trail, which can be traveled by foot, bike, or scooter. Two major grocers, Kroger and Whole Foods, are a quick walk away, and specialty goods can be purchased directly at Ponce City Market’s Central Food Hall. And when a large vehicle is needed, residents can use a rideshare app or catch a shuttle to the North Avenue MARTA Station.
Alternative transportation isn’t the only avenue for sustainability at Ponce City Market, however. Scout Living and Signal House communities are also approaching net zero carbon, holding Fitwell and Net Zero certifications. Scout Living is also working towards LEED [V4] on Core and Shell Certification.
Ponce City Market offers a diverse range of living options tailored to the unique needs of its residents. Whether seeking flexibility at Scout Living, a sophisticated community at Signal House, or traditional lofts at The Flats, everyone can find their ideal home. With convenient amenities, sustainable practices, and a vibrant location, Ponce City Market truly embodies a dynamic living experience for all generations.
