Venetian Hills has a suburban feel in Southwest Atlanta
Home prices in Venetian Hills have increased in recent years as new residents move into the Atlanta neighborhood’s midcentury homes built for soldiers at the former Fort McPherson Army base. Located just 5 miles from downtown, the community's suburban feel and its low prices compared to nearby areas attract buyers. “It’s the story of a lot of neighborhoods around this country. It’s always been a decent, working-class neighborhood. But because the prices are so low, gentrification happened,” says resident Quadrus Black, chairman of Neighborhood Planning Unit S, which serves as a liaison between the city government and residents.

Venetian Hills’ mixture of renovated and fixer-upper cottages and bungalows
Venetian Hills’ modestly sized cottages and bungalows were built from the 1930s through the ‘50s and sit close together along narrow roads. Renovated homes sell for $260,000 to $632,000, while fixer-uppers go for $115,000 to $225,000 and average 55 days on the market. “I think that when people hear gentrification, they think that white people are coming to this Black neighborhood,” Black says. “I’ll tell you, as a Black person, the reality is that a couple of friends of mine who bought in this area and I are the gentrifiers because the thing that drew us to this neighborhood was the cheaper houses. Gentrification has become a bad word, but it’s not always.” The neighborhood's CAP Index Crime Score is 5 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average of 4.

Several soul food restaurants are 2 miles away on Cascade Road. At The Beautiful Restaurant, founded in 1979, dishes include Cornish hens and oxtails. “Anybody who has been in Atlanta for a long time knows that spot,” Black says. A popular sports bar, J.R. Crickets’ menu ranges from fried shrimp and waffles to wings. Area native Kiana Collins, a Realtor with Keller Williams Atlanta Perimeter, noted that the neighborhood’s older residents appreciate the CVS, bank and post office off Cascade Road. There’s also a Kroger 3 miles away.
