July 8, 2026 — Opelika, Alabama
Creekside Cottages, a new build-to-rent community at the intersection of Society Hill Road and Gateway Drive in Opelika, has officially opened for leasing. The 225-unit townhome development — built by Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG) — sits on 39 acres and represents JCCG’s fourth collaboration with a publicly traded REIT.
Monthly rents range from $1,875 to $2,299, with homes ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. Vertical construction began in early 2026 and the full buildout is planned at up to 303 total units, making it one of the larger BTR communities in the Auburn-Opelika area. The development reflects strong rental demand in the region’s growing residential market.
