Olmsted Chamblee, a new apartment community developed by CF Real Estate Services (CF) with equity partner Origin Investments, is now recognized as the best apartment community of its kind in the U.S. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Pillars of the Industry Awards – often referred to as the Oscars of the apartment industry – recently named Olmsted Chamblee the Best Low-Rise Apartment Community in the nation. “Low-Rise” refers to communities that are five stories or under.

Olmsted Chamblee is the first of the Olmsted branded apartments developed by CF, with the second recently opening in Nashville. Brett Oliver, Director of Development, stated that he and Byron Cocke, the late co-founder of CF, envisioned creating an unconventional concept that would bring the vibe and energy found in boutique hotels, chef-driven restaurants, or your favorite local coffee shop to apartment living. Oliver created the brand and provided the creative direction and leadership for this project. Olmsted Chamblee is CF’s first attempt to create this living environment and the company is thrilled that this initial iteration was recognized by such an influential organization as the NAHB.
Olmsted Chamblee stands apart from its peers because of its eclectic and curated interior design and down-to-earth customer service, the latter of which is provided by CF’s in-house property management team. On the design front, Oliver was adamant that the community’s public spaces be warm and welcoming with nothing cookie-cutter, encouraging use and authentic interaction among residents. The unique design has created the stage where CF has attracted an incredible management team at the property that fosters a genuine community spirit with best-in-class service. Oliver credits CF’s willingness to be pioneering and question industry norms as to why they were able to create such a unique and lauded community.
The 283 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments have granite countertops, energy-efficient appliances and windows, Nest thermostats, and huge closets. Rentable private co-working spaces have a selection of Wi-Fi providers. There’s also an artist’s studio, an artist in residence and a unique mural in the parking area, plus a neighborhood pool, hammocks, and outdoor grills and smokers. Living room lounges have comfortable seating and hundreds of hardcover books, raked seating for art and photography classes, an indoor bocce ball court, movie room, community kitchen, mailroom, lounge, and 24-hour fitness center with Wellbeats technology. Its 37-foot-wide “CHAMBLEE” rooftop sign at the busy intersection of Peachtree Boulevard and Chamblee Tucker Road is already a neighborhood landmark. Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown are a few stops away via the Chamblee MARTA rail station, which is one block away. Two-bedrooms have roommate floor plans as well as premium outside corner units with flexible layouts. It has townhouses with 3-bedrooms and 3.5-baths, which are a rare find in the market.
The pet-friendly apartment’s community dog, Freddie O, III, a handsome fellow rescued from a local animal shelter, is named for the community’s namesake – legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
