College Park just landed a new batch of budget-friendly rentals in a prime spot near the airport. Blue Sky Landing, a 180-unit affordable housing community, officially opened on June 4, 2026. Rents are set on an income-based system that shifts by household earnings, adding income-tiered apartments to a local rental market that has been feeling extremely tight.
According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the complex sits along Golby Road, roughly a five-minute drive from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Reporter Maria Guzman noted that instead of one flat market rate, the property uses income brackets to calculate what residents pay, which is the core of its affordability pitch.
How It Was Financed
Blue Ridge Cascade details Blue Sky Landing as a 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit project that uses tax-exempt bonds issued by the Housing Authority of College Park. Equity came from Hudson Housing Capital and Advantage Capital, with financing from Bank of America and Lument. The project listing notes that the campus includes six residential buildings and shared amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center and playground, with floor plans ranging from one to three bedrooms.
Address, Management and Asking Rents
Public listings place Blue Sky Landing at 2431 Old National Parkway in College Park and describe it as a newly built, 180-unit community. Rental listings on Apartments.com show starting rents around $673 for one-bedroom units, climbing to roughly $1,780 for larger apartments. The property's leasing team is currently fielding interest and scheduling tours.
Why It Matters
Those starting rents land below what many tenants are seeing nearby. A May 2026 rental snapshot from Rentable puts the typical one-bedroom in College Park at about $820, so the lower entry point at Blue Sky Landing could be a meaningful break for households squeezed out of other options. The 180 income-tiered units are a notable addition to the local affordable housing stock, even as demand in the airport submarket stays strong.
Prospective renters can join the interest list on the official leasing site at Blue Sky Landing, and should be prepared for income certification requirements tied to tax-credit units. The leasing site includes full application details and contact information.
