What makes Dixie Hills conveniently located

Dixie Hills is a quiet neighborhood known for its convenient location on Atlanta's growing Westside. Commuters can hop on Interstate 20, a bus or a train to reach Downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta, which are both about 5 miles away. The Atlanta Beltline is also nearby, giving residents a connection to green spaces, breweries and food halls throughout the area. Even though all of this has slowly made the neighborhood more popular, homes here still tend to cost less than the citywide median.

How home prices compare to the rest of the city

Most of the houses in Dixie Hill are ranch-style homes and minimal traditional cottages from the midcentury, though more and more contemporary-style houses are popping up. “You’re either going to want to renovate when you move here or build something completely new,” says Tomaree Tarpley, a Realtor with eXp Realty who lives on the Westside. The median sale price in Dixie Hills is around $240,000, which is significantly lower than Atlanta’s median of about $425,000. That’s also lower than what you’ll find in nearby neighborhoods with direct Beltline access, including Grove Park and Hunter Hills. Homes that need significant work here can start in the $50,000s, but most properties land somewhere between the mid-$100,000s and mid-$500,000s, depending on their age, size and condition.

A local park and access to the Beltline’s Westside Trail

Coach Charles Rambo Park sits at the center of the neighborhood with a swimming pool, tennis courts and workout stations. Youth flag football teams sometimes play on the field behind the park’s recreation center, where you can lift weights and play pick-up basketball inside. The closest access to the Beltline’s Westside Trail is in the Mozley Park neighborhood, roughly 2 miles east of most homes. “It’s a little far, but I know some people will still walk or ride bikes over there and spend the whole day going to all the parks and restaurants on it,” Tarpley says. Along the trail's 3-mile route, you can stop and:

  • Enjoy a picnic with views of the city’s skyline at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park
  • Grab a bite to eat at The Chattahoochee Food Works, a food hall with everything from barbecue to fresh pasta
  • Go for a swim at the Washington Park Natatorium
  • Try a beer from one of Lee + White’s breweries, which include Monday Night Garage and Wild Heaven Beer

Commuting by car, bus or train

Dixie Hills is just north of I-20, which is a direct route to Downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta. Driving to either place usually takes 10 to 20 minutes, which isn’t a bad commute for the Atlanta area. “Any drive under 30 minutes is literally a breeze in this city,” Tarpley says. “You can usually get to work before rush hour even starts from here.” MARTA buses also run through the neighborhood, and the West Lake Transit Station is within walking distance of many homes. The station serves the Blue Line, and trains leaving from it typically reach:

  • Ashby Transit Station, which sits right outside Atlanta University Center, in about 3 minutes
  • SEC District Transit Station, right between Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena, in about 5 minutes
  • Five Points Transit Station, a transfer point for all rail lines, in about 6 minutes

Dixie Hills sits about 5 miles from Downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta.

Where to get groceries and go out to eat

You’ll find a few convenience stores scattered around Dixie Hills, and grocery stores like Wayfield, Walmart and Kroger are less than 5 miles away.
