Trilith

Trilith is one of South Atlanta’s most thoughtfully imagined communities—a place where design, creativity, and everyday life are intentionally woven together. What was once the 900-acre Rivers family farm has evolved into a purpose-built town rooted in new urbanism, with human-scale streets, pocket parks tucked between homes, and architecture that favors connection over sprawl. A few original structures—the white farmhouse and red barn—remain as quiet reminders of the land’s past, grounding the neighborhood in a sense of continuity and care.

Built alongside Trilith Studios, the town was envisioned as a place where creatives could live across the street from the work of storytelling itself. That intention shows up everywhere: smaller footprints that keep life close, geothermal infrastructure that brings a calm quiet to daily living, and a town center that continues to grow with restaurants, retail, arts venues, and gathering spaces. Since the first homes were built in 2018, Trilith has earned national recognition, including awards for Master Planned Community and Mixed-Use Development of the Year.

For Keller Knapp South agent and Trilith resident Carmen Coe, the move wasn’t about leaving the city—it was about gaining freedom. “Mentally it’s such a freedom... to have everything here... and to have our kids flourishing here,” she says. What began as a school search quickly became something deeper. “We were immediately embraced by neighbors. We’d probably eat dinner at home maybe twice a week—everyone’s always gathering on porches, meeting for drinks...or showing up for each other.”

That sense of care defines life here. Kids roam safely between pocket parks, neighbors rally around one another in hard moments, and creativity is part of everyday rhythm—from sidewalk musicians to bookstores and street festivals. As Trilith steps into its next phase, with major arts and entertainment expansions underway, the heart of the town remains the same: a place designed for people to live fully, creatively, and together.
