Resurging historic neighborhood 5 miles from downtown
Less than 5 miles west of Downtown Atlanta, Dixie Hills is a historic neighborhood amid a resurgence. Established in 1938 by real estate developer Herman E. Perry, Dixie Hills was founded for the African American middle class. In the summer of 1967, when more than 100 race riots broke out across the country, Dixie Hills entered the rebellion for three nights. Following the revolt, the city started to pour more funds into the neighborhood, eventually leading to the construction of Anderson Park, which still stands at the center of the community. A new resurgence has come about as the original housing is being renovated or completely torn down and changed into modern ranch homes and bungalows. “It’s a great little neighborhood,” says Jon Howard, a Realtor with Harry Norman Realtors, with nearly 30 years of experience in Atlanta. “It is being completely revitalized, and it's happening fast. It is close to the West Lake MARTA Station and affordable for most people.”
Without many suburb-style neighborhoods, Dixie Hills neighborhoods consist of houses in blocks.
Dixie Hills homes are full of variety in color, build, and style.

Renovated ranch and bungalow homes in the city
Tight city streets are dotted with compact sidewalks as they curve through Dixie Hills. Renovated brick ranch homes and bungalows sit off the roads in the middle of square lots. Homes feature small driveways so that residents can avoid street parking. Based on square footage and condition, prices range from $145,000 to $588,000. “It’s an excellent place to buy property, and the value is only going to go up because people are desperate to live in Atlanta,” says Bonnie Brown, a Realtor with Harry Norman Realtors Intown Office.
Although homes are close in proximity, many homes have fencing through natural landscape.
Bungalow homes are also a popular new build style of Dixie Hills.
