Summit Enclave

Summit Enclave is where a lot of DeKalb ownership stories start. Built through the 2000s by Lennar and Summit Homes on the city’s southeast side near Route 23 and the Greenwood Acres corridor, it is an attached community of townhomes and condominium-form units — two to three bedrooms, 1,050 to 1,800 square feet, with a long roster of floor plans (MLS-fed sources list sixteen models, from a gem-named series — Amber through Topaz — to the Unit A–E townhome plans). The scale matters: sold records count hundreds of transactions here, which makes it one of the most liquid, easiest-to-comp communities in the city.

Recent sales have run from about $205K to $255K per MLS-fed sources, with medians reported in the $230s-to-$240s depending on the data window. That price point does two jobs at once: it is the accessible entry into DeKalb ownership for first-time buyers — often at a monthly cost below local rents — and a steady rental play for investors drawn by the university and workforce tenant base. Both pools watch the same units, which keeps turnover brisk.

Association fees are reported from about $14 to $185 a month — a wide span that reflects different sub-associations and what each covers, so the fee-and-inclusions check is the first thing we run on any unit. Reported amenities include park space, trails, sidewalks, and pond frontage on some streets, and average property taxes have run around $4,300. For financed buyers, warrantability varies by building form — another early lender check we handle as a matter of course.
