What West Manor has to offer on the west side of Atlanta

Not much has changed in West Atlanta's West Manor neighborhood since it was developed in the 1950s and '60s. It's quiet, and the people here have been around for a while. The community is anchored by Mount Vernon Baptist Church, which has stood on the corner of Lyndhurst and Benjamin E. Mays Drive since 1963, and West Manor Park. Interstate 285 borders the community, allowing easy access to the rest of Atlanta.

West Manor provides residents convenience to a variety of retail and restaurants in close proximity.

What to expect when it comes to housing styles and prices

Most houses in West Manor date back to the mid-20th century. You will mainly find brick ranch-style homes and split-levels on roomy lots. Many houses have been renovated over the years, while others need a few repairs. “You’re going to have a lot of gutted, fully renovated homes at moderate prices,” says Realtor Juli St George of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta. She’s sold homes across Atlanta for over a decade. “They’re good, entry-level homes.” Most homes list from the upper-$100,000s to the low-$400,000s, but a few 2,000 to 3,000-square-foot homes can sell from the low-$400,000s to the low-$600,000s.
