1501 Clairmont Rd

Somerset Heights is a mid-century condominium complex in Decatur built in 1968, composed of mid-rise towers and garden-style flats. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom floor plans offering features such as vaulted or nine-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, recessed and track lighting, crown molding, built-in bookcases and foyer entries. Many residences include private balconies or small yards for outdoor access, and some flats have direct ground-level entrances that mimic single-family living. The property’s common areas emphasize resident services and leisure: a staffed clubhouse with library and study rooms, an updated fitness center, outdoor swimming pool and grilling deck, a landscaped courtyard and garden spaces with tennis courts and a dog run. Practical amenities include elevators, gated and covered deeded parking spots, on-site management, storage rooms and secure controlled access. HOA dues are notable for covering utilities and building insurance, simplifying monthly costs. Located off Clairmont Road near Emory University, the CDC and VA hospital, the community sits within walkable corridors, close to shops, restaurants, trails and public transit including the Emory shuttle.
