ATLANTA, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Crescent Communities has begun preleasing luxury apartments in the new mixed-use development Howell Mill, just east of Interstate 75 on Howell Mill Road. With residences now available, the 256-unit Crescent Howell Mill is the next step in creating a residential and lifestyle destination convenient to both the Buckhead and Midtown districts.

"This stretch of Howell Mill Road is growing as a distinctive sub-community within Atlanta," said Jay Curran, senior vice president of Crescent's multifamily group. "Crescent Howell Mill will put its residents at the heart of a new retail and culinary area with easy access to everything they want and need in Atlanta, along with on-site conveniences and comforts that define luxury apartment living."

At the intersection of Howell Mill Road NW and Collier Road in a south Buckhead neighborhood, Crescent Howell Mill offers a direct drive to Midtown and Downtown. Residents can walk to conveniences such as a Publix grocery store, the expansive and social Atlanta Food Truck Park and numerous retailers. They also are less than a mile from an eclectic array of hip dining options, including sit-down dining at Verde Taqueria or Flip Burger.

The apartments serve as the first phase and only residential component of Howell Mill, the aptly-named mixed-use project being developed by Healey Weatherholtz Properties. Phase two of the eight-acre development will feature a collection of chef-driven restaurants and has recently broken ground.

Residents of Crescent Howell Mill will enjoy the apartment community's open elevated lawn courtyard, saltwater resort-style pool with sun deck, outdoor kitchen with grilling stations and rooftop social deck. For active residents, the community includes a state-of-the-art athletic club; for their pets, the community offers a dog walk park and pet spa and specially-designed fountain where pets can play.

The studios and one- and two-bedroom units' interiors feature details including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, expansive walk-in closets and designer light fixtures. Pre-wiring for high speed fiber optic Internet and cable and on-site concierge service are among a robust offering of living conveniences.

"The apartments at Crescent Howell Mill include modern-style luxuries and must-have conveniences. Whether at home or out on the town, residents have all they need in this up-and-coming hot spot on the Howell Mill corridor," Curran said.
