How home prices in Collier Hills compare to the rest of Atlanta

Buyers will find a mix of cottages, split-levels and Colonial Revivals lining the neighborhood’s rolling roads. Three- to four-bedroom homes typically start in the low $700,000s and climb into the low $1 millions. Four- to six-bedroom houses generally range from the mid-$1 millions to the low $2 millions. The median sale price in Collier Hills is around $975,000, which is more than double Atlanta's median of about $425,000. “Buckhead is considered the Beverly Hills of the South, so with that in mind, the prices here aren’t even that crazy,” says Kirsten Conover, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties who has sold several homes in the area. The neighborhood’s median is lower than in some nearby communities, including Tuxedo Park and Chastain Park.

Why living near the BeltLine is a big draw for homebuyers

The nearly 3-mile-long Atlanta BeltLine Northside Trail stretches along the neighborhood’s east side. “People love to live next to the BeltLine, even if it’s just a spur like this one, because it connects to so much and a lot of it’s forested, so it makes you forget you’re in the city,” Conover says. It starts at Ardmore Park, which has a small playground, and ends at Atlanta Memorial Park, the city’s third-largest green space. Along the way, there are plenty of things to do at other recreational spaces, including:

  • Learning about the Battle of Peachtree Creek at Tanyard Creek Park
  • Teeing off at the nine-hole, public Bobby Jones Golf Course
  • Playing racquet sports at the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center

The BeltLine through Tanyard Creek Park is a great biking trail.

The commute from Collier Hills to Midtown and Downtown Atlanta

Collier Hills is a car-dependent community located along I-75, which provides direct access to Midtown Atlanta, about 3 miles away, and Downtown Atlanta, roughly 5 miles away. Despite the short distances, heavy traffic often makes driving to both districts take longer than expected. “In the middle of the day, it’s a super quick 10 minutes, but if it’s rush hour or there’s a big event in either area, then it can take 30 to 45 minutes,” Conover says. The neighborhood also offers access to public transportation, with several MARTA bus stops nearby.
