Here in metro Atlanta, there is such a program through the FHLBank First-time Homebuyer Program (FHP).

Places To Love: SPRINGSIDE PARK

As I was out and about showing some great townhouses and condos to one of my dear Sandy Springs’ clients, I stumbled across this quaint real estate community that any condo seeker would love.  Springside Park is located in the heart of Sandy Springs but still has an Atlanta address (great for those that love the city life but not the city congestion).  Located right on Dalrymple Road near North Springs High School, this gated condo community is a welcome retreat from city life.  Despite it being so close to North Springs, by it being a gated community, residents do not notice the High Schoolers (except for the residents whose building faces the school - sorry!).
