Azalea Street Redevelopment Project

About the Project

Azalea Street was identified as having the poorest housing conditions and poorest residential environment in Hinesville.  As a result, the Azalea Street Redevelopment Project was implemented to revitalize the neighborhood by transforming the severely deteriorated 27 acre neighborhood into one of the City’s most beautiful communities. The project not only improves the housing stock in the neighborhood but provides much needed updates to water and sewer lines, lot access, and roadways. Additionally, extensive community outreach and strategic planning allowed for the successful relocation of Azalea Street homeowners to new, safe, and decent homes while maintaining their sense of place and keeping them in the neighborhood they love.

The project is made possible by the City of Hinesville with assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The Project consists of three phases to methodically transform the downtown neighborhood into a sustainable, viable and family-oriented community.

Phase I

Phase I is complete and contains seven single-family homes and 12 townhouses. The newly-constructed homes were made available to owners of properties in Phase II and the townhomes were sold to those who qualified for the Georgia Dream Homeownership Program offered through DCA. 

Phase II

Phase II contains 12 single-family homes; ten units relocated persons living in Phase III to new homes in Phase II and two were made available to the general public.

Phase III

The final phase of the Project is underway and will contain 13 new single-family homes. Homes will be available for purchase by both standard and low-to-moderate income households. New construction availability and program eligibility information will be listed below.  Kindly note that purchase programs may not be administered by the City of Hinesville.  

Current Availability: None

Six (6) homes are expected to be available in July 2022 directly from the developer.  Please note that the purchase process is not through the City of Hinesville. Two (2) of which are reserved for purchase by low-to-moderate income households.  If interested, now is a great time to start getting your credit ready as well as exploring homebuyer education and down payment assistance programs!  Click here for credit and down payment resources.
