Underwood Hills offers something old and something new
Located in Atlanta’s Upper Westside, Underwood Hills has two personalities: a lush residential area of single-family homes and a buzzy mixed-use development with breweries and apartment complexes. The residential area — on the east side of train tracks that run through the neighborhood’s center — was developed in the early 20th century and features a neighborhood park and a mature tree canopy. “The neighbors are really supportive of each other and hang out together,” says Kelly Chancy, a Realtor with Keller Williams who’s sold homes in the area for around 20 years. “The location is very accessible to several parts of Midtown, Buckhead and Westside. It’s near the interstate and great restaurants.” The west side’s warehouses were built around the same time, but in the 2020s they were redeveloped as The Works, a blend of restaurant space and apartments.
Wide lawn and elegant facades define the area's residential appeal, with many homes reflecting Southern architectural influences.
Underwood Hills offers a peaceful enclave of charming brick homes nestled within a dense canopy of trees.

A variety of housing styles that reflect the area’s growth
Underwood Hills’ first wave of development took place in the 1920s, and several early 20th-century National and Craftsman homes still exist in the area. These sit close together along narrow, hilly streets and usually have paved driveways shaded by mature trees. Midcentury ranch-style houses, late 20th-century Cape Cods, and new traditional homes demonstrate the community’s continued growth. Prices typically range from around $460,000 to $940,000, though some new construction custom homes have recently been listed for $1.2 million to $1.5 million. Late 20th-century colonial-inspired townhouses range from $280,000 to $480,000, while those built in the 21st century range from $700,000 to $1.1 million.
