Popular among first-time home buyers
In the 1940s, Hunter Hills was one of the first planned African American communities in Atlanta. “There’s a lot of history there. But like so many places, it gets buried over time,” says Jackye Mumphrey, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Cityside. “Most people who move there now don’t even know about the history.” Today, Hunter Hills is popular among first-time home buyers. “The area is big with young professionals,” Mumphrey continues. “They want to be a part of the city. They want to go to the clubs and go out to dinner. They want to go to the parks and the breweries. They want to be a part of the Atlanta vibe.”
Hunter Hills is situated just a couple miles west of downtown Atlanta.
Established in the 1940s, Hunter Hills was one of the 1st planned African American communities.
Hunter Hill homes come in a variety of architectural build-styles, such as clapboard and brick.

Vintage fixer-uppers in Hunter Hills
Located less than 5 miles from downtown Atlanta, Hunter Hills is rife with vintage 1940s and 50s cottages. “It’s a neighborhood that’s still in transition,” Mumphrey explains. “A lot of investors have come in and fixed up the older properties.” Typically offering between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet, homes are situated on hilly lots with mature poplar, pine and oak trees along sidewalks and driveways. Prices vary wildly here because many homes have yet to be renovated. One might find a fixer-upper for $150,000, while a rehabbed property can reach $600,000. “It all depends on what shape the house is in. The ones that are renovated inside and out definitely sell faster.”

The Atlanta Beltline Trail
Hunter Hills is situated on the Atlanta Beltline Trail, a paved trail that encircles the city. “The beltline connects to several dozen neighborhoods,” Mumphrey explains. “Everyone wants to be on the beltline. It’s a thing. It connects to neighborhoods close by, so you can really be in the city and be part of the vibrant fabric of Atlanta. It’s pretty nifty.” Situated along the trail is Ella Mae Wade Brayboy Memorial Park, a spot where locals can throw a frisbee or just relax on a bench and enjoy the pink Crepe Myrtle trees in the summertime. Mozley Park is home to the Lionel Hampton Trail, intertwining with the park’s basketball courts, outdoor swimming pool, playground and fitness zone.
