Median of these 6 sales: $305,000 ($171/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$254,490the mess$272,454
Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales in Lantern Walk, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $279,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 7% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 19 days on market vs. a 33-day community median
4 active listings competing
≈2.8 months of supply
17 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $279,000 ($186/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.
Want a property-specific review from a licensed agent? A Momentum Realty agent will do a real, free comparative market analysis — walking the home, the lot, the condition, and the live market. That's the difference between a Messtimate and a valuation.
Methodology: 1,497 sq ft × $170–$182/sq ft (interquartile band of 6 comparable closed sales in Lantern Walk, last 18 months; MLS closed-sale records). Estimate for general information only; not an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 12, 2026.

Oct 2026 · Development
Planning Commission backs 181-unit apartment project west of downtown Athens
Cardinal Group proposes 181 apartments with 425 bedrooms plus eight townhouses on the block bounded by West Broad, Finley, Reese and Pope streets. The six-story project has 211 parking spaces. The Planning Commission narrowly recommended the C-D rezoning on Oct. 1, and stream permits and historic review are still needed.
Why it matters: Would add rental inventory close to downtown, increasing housing supply and foot traffic west of the core if approved. The site is about 4 miles southeast of Lantern Walk Clarke.
SR 316 and Oconee Connector bridge work cuts lanes on the Connector
Archer Western is building two bridges to carry SR 316 over the Oconee Connector, with a separate bridge and ramps for Jimmy Daniell Road. The Connector dropped to one through lane per direction starting Sept. 18, and Jimmy Daniell Road closed Sept. 14 for about six months. Work at the intersections is projected to last at least through the end of 2028.
Why it matters: Expect multi-year lane restrictions on a key Athens to Oconee commuter route, followed by a grade-separated interchange. The site is about 6 miles south of Lantern Walk Clarke.

Per the listing record, 304 Samuel Clemens Way was built in 2019 and has 1,497 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 304 Samuel Clemens Way in?
