Why people move to Arlington Estates

Arlington Estates offers a quiet setting while staying well-connected to the rest of Atlanta. Mid-20th-century homes and a newly built subdivision make up most of the neighborhood, with lively recreation, shopping and dining districts all less than 10 miles away. Its location near major highways and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport makes getting around easy, and this convenience comes with homes that are comparatively more affordable than the citywide median.

Prices of older homes and newer townhouses

The median sale price in Arlington Estates is around $250,000, which is significantly lower than Atlanta's median of about $425,000. Older ranch-style and split-level homes that may need renovations can start in the lower $100,000s, while updated houses typically reach the mid-$200,000s. In the newer Notting Hill at Arlington subdivision, townhouses usually fall in the mid-to-upper $200,000s, and homeowners pay HOA fees to cover lawn care and exterior maintenance. This diverse mix of housing attracts a wide range of buyers. “Between the super low prices for the older houses and the low maintenance on the newer ones, it’s a really good place for first-time owners and downsizers,” says Cambre Mabry, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Atlanta Classic who has sold several homes in the area.

Getting to nearby highways and Downtown Atlanta

State Route 154 and Interstate 285 are about 2 miles east of Arlington Estates, and residents typically view this short distance as a positive. “Highways are far enough away that the neighborhood is quiet and traffic-free, but close enough that they’re still easy to get to,” Mabry says. Both routes connect with other highways that reach Downtown Atlanta, which can take 20 to 45 minutes to get to, depending on traffic. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about 15 minutes away, and MARTA provides bus service in the area.

Places to shop and eat in the ATL Airport District

A gas station, a few dollar stores and some locally owned restaurants sit on Arlington Estates’ northeastern corner. For more shopping and dining options, you’ll need to drive outside the neighborhood, but thanks to its location on the outskirts of the ATL Airport District, plenty of options are close by. “It’s a collection of neighborhoods surrounding Hartsfield-Jackson that each have really great shopping centers or fun restaurant scenes,” Mabry says. The district includes:

  • Camp Creek Marketplace, home to stores like Target, TJ Maxx and Old Navy
  • College Park, where cafés and soul food spots line walkable streets
  • East Point, known for its nightlife with live music spots and trendy lounges
