Home prices and Beltline access bring buyers to Capitol View Manor

A trip down a street in the small Capitol View Manor neighborhood could take you past several ongoing home renovations and a few more active construction projects. The neighborhood on Atlanta's south side has received more attention lately as rising home prices near the core of the city have pushed homebuyers farther out. These transplants to Capitol View Manor have found a community connected to restaurants and recreation by the Atlanta Beltline trail and linked to Downtown Atlanta by Interstate 85.

A wave of home renovations

Mitchel Waldman has witnessed major changes in Capitol View Manor during his decade living in the neighborhood. New residents have moved in and invested time and money in improving their yards and homes, says Waldman, a Realtor at Gipson Group ATL with Compass. “If you drive through this neighborhood right now, just driving to my house, there are three or four renovations going on.” Residents may be revamping one of the Cape Cods, minimal traditional houses or ranch-style homes that line the neighborhood’s small cluster of streets. The updates happening in the neighborhood also reveal the character of the people who live there. "My client was working on renovating this house, and the neighbors would stop by and offer tools, check on the progress and offer help,” says Juli St George, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. Homes have recently sold from the upper $200,000s to the upper $400,000s.

Coffee and beer along the Beltline, shops along Metropolitan Parkway

Shops, restaurants and more line Metropolitan Parkway, which traces the neighborhood's western edge. On the north end of the road, The Bougie Grazer serves coffee and charcuterie across the street from the Metropolitan Library, and, down the street, you can shop at Dollar Tree and Goodwill. The Beltline is another corridor for cuisine and recreation, as the trail leads past Urban Grind Brew Box, a shipping container-turned-café, and the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta, where portraits, photos, movies posters and masks may be on display. The museum is in Pittsburgh Yards, a former trucking terminal and nuclear fallout shelter that now houses a coworking space where people gather for networking events, workout classes and a weekly makers and farmers market. The Beltline extends beyond the neighborhood to West End, where breweries and a food hall fill the repurposed warehouses of the Lee & White district.

Beltline to the north and Emma Millican Park to the south

The Beltline is a destination for morning runs, afternoon dog walks and weekend bike journeys. On the other side of Capitol View Manor, a trail cuts through the woods of Emma Millican Park, where there’s also a playground. Additional things to do less than 5 miles from the neighborhood include:

  • Perkerson Park, a 50-acre green space with basketball courts, a splash pad and a disc golf course
  • Arthur Langford Jr. Park, home to a skate park designed for beginners
  • Lakewood Amphitheatre, a 19,000-seat concert venue that attracts touring acts

Get downtown via MARTA and I-85

Capitol View Manor is next to Interstate 85, which, while noisy for homeowners on the east end of the neighborhood, provides a direct route to downtown, 5 miles away, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 8 miles away. Avoid the highway by taking light rail from MARTA’s Oakland City station, less than 2 miles away, where departing trains reach downtown in seven minutes and the airport in 10 minutes.

Education at Atlanta Public Schools, Atlanta Technical College

The highly rated Atlanta Public Schools district serves the neighborhood. While the district assigns students to schools based on where they live, families can request students transfer to other schools in the district to enroll in magnet programs and other specialized programs. Admission is determined by seat availability and lotteries at high-demand schools. Capitol View Manor is next to the campuses of Atlanta Technical College and Atlanta Metropolitan State College, where students can graduate with associate degrees and earn industry certifications.
