Pleasant Hill Historic District Homes for Rent

Pleasant Hill Historic District in Macon-Bibb is a neighborhood with a deep historical significance, established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a major historic Black community. Known for its rolling terrain, the area features single-story wood-framed vernacular homes, many with Craftsman-style porches and decorative elements. Despite challenges from the construction of Interstate 75 in the 1960s, recent revitalization efforts have focused on preserving the neighborhood’s heritage. The Georgia Department of Transportation's mitigation plan in 2016 led to the creation of Jefferson Long Park and Linear Park, both offering passive recreational spaces with walking paths and community gardens. The Booker T. Washington Community Center provides essential services, including mental health support and youth programs. Pleasant Hill is about 3 miles south of Ocmulgee National Historical Park, a significant prehistoric Native American site. The neighborhood is connected to downtown Macon through the Ocmulgee Heritage Trails, enhancing pedestrian and bike access. Local dining options include Papa’s Wings and Seafood and The Brick. The area has struggled with vacancy and blight, but affordable housing options attract first-time homebuyers and investors. Residents can access amenities like Piedmont Macon Hospital, 3 miles away, and Macon Downtown Airport, 6 miles east.
