What prices and housing styles to expect in the area

There is a mix of houses in Wilson Mill Meadows, but you will mainly find ranch-style and split-level homes. With lot sizes around a quarter-acre, neighbors have a little breathing room, and yards have space for mature trees and off-street parking. Most houses were built in the 1970s and '80s, and many need renovations. Prices typically range from the low-$100,000s to the upper-$200,000s. "It's one of those micro neighborhoods that has seen some movement, but not caught up with the Atlanta price point yet," says local Realtor Juli St George of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta. She's sold homes across the city for over 10 years. "You can get a fixer-upper for $150,000, which is under half of what our average Atlanta price point is." The area has a mix of renters and owners, with monthly rent often ranging from $1,500 to $2,500.
