In the heart of the historic, but economically depressed Jeffries-Meyers neighborhood the brick faced apartments of Eban Village stand apart like a little oasis. Created in 1997 through a joint venture between SouthFair CDC and NationsBank, the Village provides tenants with a Community Center, computer lab, after-school and GED programs, and a beautiful living environment all at price affordable to the very low income, including Section 8 recipients.
Eban Village offers residents many amenties like central air and heating and resident controled entry system.
Eban Village resident Paul Bramlett used to live in the complex located where the Village now stands.

“It was a pretty rough place back then. There were drugs and shootings, robberies. It’s a different deal now, especially because I have such good neighbors. That’s what keeps this community going - they take care of everybody here. You can’t beat it; that’s the bottom line.”
