Heritage Valley is a residential neighborhood with lower housing prices and a convenient location
Though at first glance Heritage Valley can seem like other residential suburban neighborhoods in Southwest Atlanta, its location and costs help set it apart. Sitting off Interstate 285, the community is close to major shopping areas and several parks. It also has houses available for less money than in other parts of the city. “My usual motto is the closer to the highway, the more expensive the house,” says Deborah Blue, a Realtor and associate broker with Keller Williams Realty ATL Midtown. “So if you can find affordability and still be near the ramp, that’s a plus.”

Access to Interstate 285 and the West End of Atlanta
The community is next to Interstate 285, close to its interchange with Georgia State Route 154. Six Flags Over Georgia is less than 10 miles away, while Atlanta’s West End is just over 10 miles away. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is less than 10 miles south. Though highway access is a plus, Blue says driving through the city can still be a hassle. “Traffic here during the week is the same as on the weekends now,” Blue says. “You used to go downtown on a Tuesday at 11 a.m. and think, ‘Wow, I got here quick.’ Now it’s bumper to bumper.” The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, known as MARTA, operates public buses that make several stops along Fairburn Road Southwest. The area can get mild effects from tornadoes and hurricanes.
Atlanta's West End neighborhood is located not far from Heritage Valley, making both areas easily accessible to each other.
