1390 Barnett Shoals Road

Athens, GA 30605

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully stabilized student housing investment consisting of sixteen (16) four-bedroom, four-bathroom cottages located at 1220–1370 Barnett Shoals Road in Athens, Georgia. Ideally positioned just minutes from the University of Georgia, the property offers exceptional access to campus, making it highly attractive to UGA’s growing student population of over 38,000 students. The community is currently operating at 100% occupancy and boasts a strong, proven rental track record, providing immediate and reliable cash flow for investors. Each cottage sits on its own fee simple lot, offering added flexibility, long-term exit optionality, and intrinsic value not typically found in traditional student housing developments. Residents benefit from convenient proximity to a wide array of local shopping, dining, and entertainment options along Barnett Shoals Road and throughout the greater Athens area. In addition to the existing improvements, the offering includes approximately 4.45 acres of contiguous undeveloped land, presenting a compelling opportunity to expand the amenity package or potentially increase density. Zoned RM-2, this property represents an attractive opportunity to acquire a well-performing asset with meaningful scale that appeals to a wide range of investors. With established income and a location within one of Athens’ most desirable student housing corridors, assets of this size are increasingly difficult to find. The property’s unique setting is highly marketable, featuring expansive road frontage and a desirable forested natural buffer to the south that enhances resident appeal. As UGA continues to experience steady enrollment growth and strong student housing demand, the property is well-positioned for sustained performance.
