Four women in their 40s who’ve been best friends for 17 years have all moved to the same street—and they now feel like they’ve built their own community.

Sarabeth Stine was delighted when her pal Kelly Holbin found a house just around the corner 10 years ago in Atlanta, Georgia.

Three years ago, when their buddy Erinn Cottman needed a new home, the girlfriends couldn’t believe their luck when the house across the street from Sarabeth became available.

And, one year later, Kristi W. surprised her friends by purchasing the house one door down.

Now the quartet are loving the fact that they live seconds from each other, so they can hang out whenever they want.

They also keep boundaries in place—so they can maintain individual lives and not overuse their welcome.

“Having people you can count on that are like family,” said the newest arrival. “That’s really important.”

“It’s a true blessing for me,” Kristi told SWNS news agency. “It feels like these girls are my sisters.”

Kristi has been friends with Kelly for 25 years after meeting her in college and becoming besties.

Kelly moved to Atlanta in 2008 and met Sarabeth and Erinn—and the group now has a strong 17-year bond.

“We all developed our own individual relationships, which fused the bond amongst the group,” said Erinn.

While Sarabeth and her family were the first ones in the neighborhood, she was suddenly surprised when Kelly spotted a house for sale and asked if it would be strange if she lived there.

“I text her to ask would it be weird if I lived in the same neighborhood. She was like ‘absolutely not’.”

Kelly moved in 2014 and has loved living round the corner from her friend. The pair goes to morning workouts and walks together.

“Three-and-a-half years ago Erinn needed a new home,” explained Sarabeth. “The house across the street became available.”

“At first she said it would be creepy, but then went for it.”

For Erinn and Sarabeth, it has meant their sons—eight and ten—have been able to grow up together.

“Our boys are a year and a half apart and they run back and forth between our houses,” said Sarabeth.

“They did Christmas morning together!”

The friend that finally joined the group, after the pandemic, was Kirsti—when the house next to Sarabeth came up for sale.

Sarabeth had suggested to Kirsti: ”Please come and buy this house.”

Kirsti started thinking about it, then decided to go for it—but kept it a secret from the others, even going so far as disguising herself when she came for the home inspection.

Kirsti recalled: “I made up a story and said ‘would you guys come and look at a house – I really want your opinion?’

“We got in the car and pulled away and then I turned around as if I’d forgotten something.

“Then I told them I was buying the house.”

Sarabeth remembers, “That’s when we lost our minds.”

She moved in March 2023 and the ladies have loved living close ever since.

“I’ve got built-in folks,” said Erinn.

Sarabeth says, “It’s a true community we have built.”

Despite living so close they don’t always see each other every day. In fact, sometimes they go three or four days without running into anyone.

“We’re all so busy. It’s easy to miss each other.” But they know someone has their back.

“What makes us special is regardless of what has happened, we have an ability to accept each other–and be vulnerable with each other.”
