What $1,100/month Can Get You In Atlanta | Sweet Digs | Refinery29

Full time photographer Albrica Tierra lives ITP and loves it. This queer artist found her community in an aging Black community in the SE side of Atlanta where she jokes - It feels like the country. A true advocate of “buy Black” she has made it a point to decorate using Black art, creators, designers and maker all while sprinkling in her own photography in the mix. Watch to learn more about Albrica’s space.

She gives such peaceful vibes. Her house is so well decorated

[@pinkpanda5696]

What a beautiful house! She's very good at decorating! What a blessing to have a mortgage for $1100. My rent here in Florida has gone up to $2100 over the past 2 years and it's a struggle.

[@hayze13]

$2500 mortgage here in SoCal, 2 bd 1.5 bath

[@pinkpanda5696]

@@hayze13 Yeah, I know I won't ever live in California. I just can't commit to a high mortgage like that.

[@evelyn0155]

This mortgage is unusually low for ATL.

[@dredayful]

I pray it gets better for you or maybe new home in your budget or better

[@kimnixon5357]

@@evelyn0155 I live near this area and pay about this amount too. Most of The historically black areas in Atlanta are not trendy and definitely not move-in ready. Had to get new appliances, replace central heating/Air, new hot water heater and on and on. Hopefully more folks move in the area to rejuvenate once thriving areas. Very much needed.

[@WIDBAU]

I really love her home- you can tell she’s spent time carefully curating what’s important to her. She’s got great taste ❤️

[@danacooper6723]

I not only love her home but her energy. Calming and positive.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Not shocked she's a photographer... she has a good eye for design. Love her place and her dog, too... not to mention her calming voice as well. Enjoyed the episode!

[@AtlantaHomesforSale]

Congrats on your home purchase! That was a smart decision to purchase as the average rent now for an apartment in Metro Atlanta is around $1800. Love the backyard, it has so much potential and I like that it is level. Also, thanks for rescuing Honey and giving her a home.

[@AboutthatMommyLife]

I feel so blessed to have bought my home in CA five years ago. Mortgage is $1400 which includes insurance and taxes. Loving the vibes throughout her house!!! Peaceful

[@hayze13]

You are fortunate. I bought in 2021

[@broncotia3125]

😱Amazing!!

[@blushbaby5278]

Huh? What part?? I'm in a 1 bedroom dingy apt paying $1500 per month in Van Nuys

[@donnab.333]

Congrats to you! I live in S. CA & you have a great deal. Best wishes to you.

[@broncotia3125]

@@blushbaby5278 yes, thats what I thought. Im paying $3500 in rent 😭 but blessings to her 😊

[@marissabraithwaite6425]

I'd be inside all the time with a home like this and she has such a calm sweet aura

[@dilly.barzzz]

I don’t know if she will read these comments, but your home is absolutely wonderful and incredibly cozy!

[@alwaysalady9775]

Her house is so peaceful. I love the vibe. It's a space one can relax and regroup in.

[@ShoyahsCrazyFantasticLife]

Damn I’m jealous of her! $1100 😫 lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others! Nice decorated too!

[@sherrybrown8608]

I like the way the home is decorated. she makes the whole house light, airy and makes the space seem bigger with decorations and furniture.

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

As an Atlanta native it’s so nice to see this series go to the south. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jamalaw]

Totally dig her peaceful vibe! Her home is well loved and she styled it perfectly. Thank you for sharing her beautiful home

[@MakingYourOwnWay]

Albrica did a wonderful job on decorating her home and I love the bees and artist she showcases! On my channel, I'm sharing what it was like buying and renovating a 250 year old building with four apartments. I live in one of the apartments and rent out the others. Right now my apartment is so bland but when I see spaces like Albrica's it inspires me to add character.

[@lifemakesmelaf]

Thanks for sharing your journey! I've been looking into owning a multiunit property. Will definitely follow to learn more!

[@MakingYourOwnWay]

@@lifemakesmelaf thank you! That's so exciting you are considering getting a multiunit and hopefully the tips I share help you get one sooner than you think 😊

[@Brianiboo2]

I love her style! I wish I could afford a fabulous home like this in GA 😊

[@loveforeignaccents]

Yep, absolutely no point on throwing one's money down the toilet by renting.

[@mjum9014]

Exactly, even if you have to make repairs, at least you have something tangible.
