Established neighborhood near Interstate 285
Bell Hill Terrace is a southwest Atlanta community of mid-20th century homes and newer townhouses built in the late 2010s. “It’s a historically Black community with well-maintained homes and long-standing neighbors, where retirees or children often take over their parents’ houses," says Lori Hanes, a Realtor with Keller Knapp Realty and lifelong Atlanta native. The neighborhood sits between two schools in B-rated Atlanta Public Schools, all offering the International Baccalaureate World Program at every grade level. Ben Hill Terrace is primarily residential and just a short drive from parks and shopping centers like Camp Creek Marketplace.

Publix and Target at nearby Camp Creek Marketplace
Campbellton Road Southwest, along the neighborhood’s southern edge, features locally owned spots for wings, seafood and Southern staples.

The mall has declined recently, but a few stores still get regular traffic. Kroger is nearby for groceries.
