Monroe Heights offers easy highway access
Monroe Heights is an evolving neighborhood on Atlanta's Upper Westside, with newer apartment complexes and subdivisions popping up next to mid-20th-century homes. A lot of this growth is driven by its location along Interstate 285, which connects to the airport, several northern suburbs and Downtown Atlanta. Major commercial hubs and the city’s largest park are also close by, and that convenience comes with home prices that are comparatively more affordable than the citywide median.
New apartment developments are popping up in the neighborhood.
A lot of the area is still being developed.

How much houses cost
The median sale price in Monroe Heights is about $350,000, which is less than the citywide median of about $425,000. Mid-20th-century ranch styles and cottages typically cost between the lower $100,000s and the upper $200,000s. Townhouses and single-family homes in newer communities like Westside Bend at Proctor Creek usually range from the lower $300,000s to the upper $400,000s. Along with higher price points, newer homes tend to come on the market more frequently. “Some people have been living in the older homes for decades, so if you want this great location, newer houses are kind of your only option,” says Tomika Byrd, a broker with Peniel Elite Real Estate Brokers who has sold several homes in the area.
Townhouses are some of the new builds you can find.
Mid-20th-century homes are also common.

Commute times from Monroe Heights
I 285 is locally known as The Perimeter because it loops around the entire city. From Monroe Heights, it provides a direct route to:
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, about 15 to 30 minutes away
Buckhead, about 20 to 45 minutes away
Sandy Springs, about 30 minutes to an hour away
The highway also connects with Interstate 20, making Downtown Atlanta about a 15 to 40 minute drive. Heavy traffic can sometimes make these commute times even longer. “There’s really no difference between rush hour traffic and normal traffic on The Perimeter,” Byrd says. “It’s really congested all day, every day.” MARTA also provides the area with bus service.
Public schools in the area
Monroe Heights is zoned for Atlanta Public Schools, like William J. Scott Elementary School and Frederick Douglass High School. The neighborhood is also home to two additional public school options that use a lottery-based enrollment process. Those include Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy, which serves girls in middle and high school, and B.E.S.T. Academy, which offers the same grade levels for boys.
William J. Scott Elementary School serves the community.
Frederick Douglass High School is nearby.

Trails at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park
About a 10-minute drive away, Shirley Clarke Franklin Park is the biggest green space in Atlanta. It’s home to several playgrounds and the massive Bellwood Quarry, but most people visit for the trail system. Popular routes include:
Proctor Creek Greenway, which connects to the Bankhead Transit Station and other nearby parks
The Purple Loop, which offers viewpoints of the quarry
The Yellow Loop, which has a staircase leading to an overlook of the Atlanta skyline
The Red Trail, which includes designated bike lanes
Shopping and dining nearby
Monroe Heights doesn’t have its own stores or restaurants, but plenty of options are less than 10 minutes away along Marietta Boulevard. “It’s a really trendy commercial corridor that’s known for breweries and a bunch of cute coffee shops,” Byrd says. You’ll also find a Publix along the street, and even more shopping is nearby at Cumberland Mall, where stores include Macy’s, Apple and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
