Live lookup — Atlanta, GA

Type a real street address. Groundline resolves the parcel from the county's records, determines the governing zoning district from the city's GIS, applies the dimensional standards of the code — every value citing its section — and computes preliminary feasibility from the actual parcel geometry, compares it against nearby recorded sales, and works out what it would earn if rented. Nothing on this page is mock data.

Coverage: City of Atlanta parcels in Fulton County. Residential districts R-3 through R-5, R-LC and O-I have dimensional standards loaded; other districts resolve but report their standards as not yet loaded. Comparable sales come from Fulton's yearly sales layers, whose public extract stops at 2022. East Atlanta (DeKalb County) is not yet connected.

Things that change the answer

NoteNo street frontage is recorded for this parcel. Setback classification, and therefore the buildable envelope, cannot be computed reliably. Confirm access and frontage with a survey or the jurisdiction.

NoteNo street frontage is recorded for this parcel, so no buildable envelope could be computed and the required setbacks do not constrain the footprint below. Treat the footprint figure as an upper bound, not a buildable footprint.

NoteThis lot does not meet the R-3 minimum lot area (9,484 sq ft against 18,000 sq ft required). If it is a lot of record lawfully established before the current ordinance, it may still be developable under the nonconforming-lot provisions, potentially with a reduced side setback. Groundline does not know when the lot was created, so it has NOT applied any nonconforming relief to the envelope above. Confirm lot-of-record status with the jurisdiction before assuming this lot is buildable.

What Groundline did not check

These are unresolved, not clear. Each can change or prevent what is shown above.

Not checked	Why it matters	How to resolve it
FEMA flood zone and floodway	Groundline has not connected the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer for Atlanta, so this parcel has not been checked against it.	Check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or the City floodplain map for this address before relying on any yield figure.
Recorded easements	No easement source is connected. Utility, drainage, sewer and access easements routinely cross Atlanta lots and reduce the buildable area.	Obtain a current title commitment and a boundary survey; both disclose recorded easements.
Site slope and topography	No elevation model is connected, so slope has not been measured.	Order a topographic survey. Slope drives foundation cost and can trigger grading and stream-buffer review.
Stream buffers, wetlands and protected trees	Georgia's 25 ft state waters buffer, the City's stream buffer, wetlands and Atlanta's tree protection ordinance are not connected. Each can prevent development on part or all of a lot.	Commission an environmental site assessment and a tree survey; confirm buffer requirements with City Watershed Management and the City Arborist.
Utility availability and capacity	Water, sewer, gas and electric availability at the site have not been verified.	Request availability letters from City Watershed Management and the serving utilities.
Corner-lot status and street-side yard	Atlanta's road centreline layer is not connected, so Groundline cannot tell a corner lot from an interior lot. A corner lot takes a deeper street-side yard on its second frontage.	Confirm the number of street frontages from a plat or survey.
Development economics	No land basis, construction cost, sale price or return model is connected for Atlanta, so this analysis says what may be built and not whether it pencils.	Supply an acquisition price and cost assumptions, or connect a licensed cost and comparable-sales source.

Does it pencil? pro forma from YOUR numbers Estimated

Groundline has no licensed cost or sale-price data for Atlanta, so it will not guess the market. Enter your acquisition price, construction bid and expected exit price; the deterministic pro forma engine does the rest and shows every assumption it adds.

Acquisition price ($) Prefilled with the Fulton tax appraisal ($43,400) — a public record, NOT a market price. Replace with your contract price. Hard construction cost Your all-in vertical bid — $/sq ft (e.g. 185) or a total budget (e.g. 400,000). Groundline does not supply this number. Exit sale price Your comp judgment — $/sq ft (e.g. 300) or the total finished sale price (e.g. 450,000). Build area (sq ft) Prefilled with the PERMITTED MAXIMUM (3,794 sq ft) — you are modelling the biggest legal build, which is rarely the typical one for the street. Enter your actual programme; anything above the maximum is capped. Demolition & site prep ($) Vacant per the assessor; usually 0 plus clearing.

CaveatsThis lot is smaller than the district minimum. This district does not publish a substandard-lot floor-area rule in the sections transcribed here, so the base ratio is shown. Atlanta and Georgia both have lot-of-record provisions under which a legally created substandard lot may still be developable, but Groundline has not transcribed Atlanta's, so no relief of any kind has been applied above. Confirm lot-of-record status and the governing provision with the City. Conformity above is lot AREA only. The 100 ft minimum street frontage (§ 16-05.007) has NOT been tested: measuring frontage requires knowing which boundary abuts the street, which needs the road-centreline layer. A lot meeting the area minimum can still fail frontage. The geocoded street point is 240 ft from this parcel — too far to identify which boundary is the frontage (typical is under 150 ft). Which edge is the front changes every setback, so no frontage was recorded.

What was screened out, and why

282 excluded — lot size outside 40–250% of the subject.
19 excluded — outside the search radius.

How to read thisThese are recorded deed transfers from the county assessor, not listings and not an appraisal. Nothing here is adjusted for condition, finish, renovation, site or date of sale. The range comes from the 25th–75th percentile of $/sq ft of lot area across 10 sales within 1,500 ft. A wide spread means the neighbourhood is heterogeneous, not that the middle is right. Recorded consideration can include personal property, seller concessions or portfolio allocations. Sales at or under $10,000 are excluded as non-market transfers; transfers between related parties above that floor are not detectable from this data. A licensed appraiser selects and adjusts comparables. This grid does neither — it shows what sold nearby, on the county's record, with its dates.

If rented

No income estimateThe assessor records no structure on this parcel, so there is nothing to rent. Income here depends on what gets built — use the development scenario instead.

AI Rental Estimate

The area statistics cannot place this property, but the AI Rental Estimate screens it a different way: against individual nearby rental listings (licensed data), unit by unit — and where the county record is silent you supply the unit mix and it prices your configuration. The model is statistical: every comparable, weight and adjustment is shown, and no number is generated by a language model.

Submarket read ZIP 30324, 3-bedroom (ASSUMED — no published count for this parcel; this describes the area, not the unit) — listings × Census, no composite score

Asking rent is 13% above what a median household here can afford

A median household earning $93,815 could pay $2,345/month at HUD's 30% cost-burden threshold. 3-bedroom units are asking $2,657. Units at this ask are being let to households earning above the local median, to multiple earners, or with a cost burden above 30% — which narrows the tenant pool and raises turnover risk.

Evidence

Median 3BR asking rent: $2,657/mo — 38 active listings, ZIP 30324
30% of median household income: $2,345/mo — ACS median income $93,815 ± $8,099

Absorption signals disagree

Median time on market is 20 days while rental vacancy is 12.8%. One suggests slack and the other does not, so neither is treated as a finding here.

Evidence

Median days on market: 20 days — 38 active listings, ZIP 30324
Rental vacancy: 12.8% — ACS vacant-for-rent as a share of rental stock

Long-listed units may simply be overpriced individually rather than indicating a soft market.

Gross yield on asking prices is about 5.5%

Median 3-bedroom rent of $2,657/month against the median asking price of 3-bedroom listings, $579,000, is a 5.5% gross yield — BEFORE vacancy, taxes, insurance, maintenance and management. Both figures are same-size asking distributions, so this describes the submarket; it is not a yield for any particular purchase.

Evidence

Median 3BR asking rent: $2,657/mo — 38 active listings, ZIP 30324
3BR asking sale price, 25th–75th pct: $545,000 – $675,000 — 5 active listings, ZIP 30324

Rent and sale listings are separate samples of different properties, matched only on bedroom count. Vacant land is excluded from the sale median; condition, lot and finish are not controlled for.

Established multifamily submarket

62.5% of housing units here sit in structures of 5 or more units, and the median structure dates to 1997. 60.8% of occupied units are renter-occupied. Density of this kind is already normal here, which usually means the zoning and the neighbourhood have absorbed it before.

Evidence

Structures of 5+ units: 62.5% of stock — ACS B25024
Median year built: 1997 — ACS B25035 ± 3

Housing-stock composition describes what EXISTS, not what is permitted. Only the zoning analysis speaks to what may be built.

What this is and is notThese are observations about the AREA, assembled from active listings and Census survey estimates. They are not a prediction, a rating, or advice to buy, and no composite score is produced — a single number would hide which input drove it and would read as most authoritative exactly where the survey margins are widest. Asking rents and asking prices are what is advertised, not what is transacted. Census figures are 5-year survey estimates with margins of error. Where a difference falls inside those margins this says so rather than reporting a direction the data cannot support. Nothing here describes the people at any particular address, and none of it may be used to screen or select tenants or buyers.

How to read thisAmerican Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2019–2023, retrieved 2026-07-28. Every figure is a survey ESTIMATE with a margin of error, not a count — where two areas differ by less than their margins, the difference is not evidence of anything. Keyed by ZCTA (ZIP Code Tabulation Area), which is the Census Bureau's statistical approximation of a ZIP code, not the ZIP itself. They usually coincide and sometimes do not; joining listing data keyed by ZIP to these values is an approximation. Figures the Census Bureau suppressed (too few households sampled) are shown as "not published". A blank is not a zero. This describes the AREA, not the people at this address, and says nothing about who would rent or buy here. It is here to answer what a neighbourhood can afford and support.

How to read thisThese are AREA statistics for the ZIP code, not an estimate for this property. Condition, finishes, lot, parking and timing move individual rents well outside area ranges. HUD SAFMR is the 40th percentile of local gross rents — a floor-of-market statistic used for voucher payment standards, not a market median. ACS medians are 5-year survey estimates with published margins of error; small ZCTAs carry wide bands, and a bedroom size with too few sampled renters is SUPPRESSED by the Census Bureau rather than published. A blank ACS cell means the survey did not support an estimate, not that the figure is zero. The two sources measure different things and often disagree by design: ACS averages 2019–2023 contract rents of SITTING tenants, while HUD SAFMR is trended to FY2025 RECENT-MOVER gross rent (rent plus utilities). In a rising market the HUD figure commonly sits above the ACS median — that is vintage and methodology, not an error. Rental listings and property-level rent comps are not public data (portal terms prohibit scraping; MLS feeds are licensed). To compare against a specific nearby listing, bring that number to the pro forma yourself.

Summary619 CANTERBURY RD NE is a 9,484 sq ft parcel (0.22 acres), assessed as vacant land. It is governed by Atlanta's R-3 district, which allows up to 3,794 sq ft of floor area here (floor area ratio (0.4)). The buildable envelope could not be computed because the front lot line could not be identified from the geocoded point. Permitted dwelling yield: 1 single-family detached dwelling. 7 site factors — including flood, easements and utilities — were not checked and are listed as open gaps. 10 recorded sales within 1,500 ft run $41.97–$91.88 per sq ft of lot area, indicating roughly $398,000–$871,000 for this parcel — a screening range from public deed records, not an appraisal. The most recent qualifying sale here is from 2022. Fulton County's public sales extract has not been updated past that year, so these prices predate current conditions and are a historical reference, not a current market read. This is a preliminary screening, not a zoning determination or an appraisal.
