Fairburn Mays is a residential community with access to the rest of Atlanta
Fairburn Mays is a suburban residential West Atlanta neighborhood surrounded by local restaurants and parks, but its main appeal is its location. Sitting near the interchange of interstates 285 and 20, the area gives residents a chance to explore what Atlanta has to offer. “You’re 30 minutes or less from things like Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Downtown and Midtown,” says Logan Holcomb, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices | Georgia Properties. “There are also a lot of people moving here for the film industry, and here, you’re close to Tyler Perry Studios.”
The vibrant Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is just a quick and convenient drive from Fairburn Mays, making it easy to jet off on your next adventure.

Easy access to downtown Atlanta and beyond on the interstates
Interstate 285 runs east of the neighborhood while Interstate 20 is to the north. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, or MARTA, has several bus stops along Fairburn Road Southwest. The community is close to 5 miles from Six Flags Over Georgia and around 10 miles from downtown Atlanta. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is less than 15 miles south. Like other areas of West Atlanta, the community has a moderate risk of tornadoes. Roads can also flood during heavy storms.
American classics at BOSK and breakfast at Milk and Honey Restaurant
The area is home to BOSK, short for Big Oomp Studio Kitchen, which serves burgers, hot dogs and other American classics. Atlanta’s Best Wings stakes its claim thanks to several sauce options for its chicken wings. The community is a few miles from Milk and Honey Restaurant, a renowned breakfast and lunch spot. “When I’m in the area, I make it a point to schedule my appointments around breakfast time so I can stop by,” Holcomb says. “The shrimp and grits are a banger.” The nearby Cascade Crossing shopping center has a Publix Super Market. A Walmart Supercenter is also close by. More extensive retail shopping can be found at Greenbriar Mall, around 5 miles south.
