Quest Legacy Homes: A New Chapter for Westside Homeownership

Quest Community Development Corporation is taking a bold step to close the homeownership gap in Atlanta’s Historic Vine City with the development of Quest Legacy Homes. This new project will soon bring 12 brand-new, single-family homes to the neighborhood—an investment aimed at creating lasting stability and generational wealth for local families.

The need for homeownership opportunities in Vine City is urgent and deeply rooted in the area’s housing dynamics. With a population of 4,486, the neighborhood remains predominantly Black (89.9%) and faces significant economic challenges. The median household income is just $31,103, and the poverty rate stands at a staggering 41.8%. Unemployment is also a pressing issue, with 8.5% of residents currently out of work.

Housing statistics further illuminate the disparities. Only 14.9% of households in Vine City are owner-occupied, while an overwhelming 85.1% are rental units. Despite a median home value of just $138,043, nearly 40% of rents exceed $1,000 per month, placing additional financial strain on families who are already stretched thin. These figures paint a clear picture: homeownership is out of reach for many, leaving generations of Westside families stuck in cycles of renting and economic instability.

Quest Legacy Homes is a response to these conditions—a forward-thinking initiative designed not only to build housing, but to foster equity, stability, and long-term investment in the community. Located in one of Atlanta’s most historic neighborhoods, these homes will offer families the opportunity to put down roots, build credit and wealth, and participate in the revitalization of their own community.

As part of QuestCDC’s broader mission, this project is more than just construction; it’s a strategy for transformation. By expanding access to affordable homeownership, Quest is helping to rewrite the narrative in Vine City—one family, one home at a time.
