Adamsville is a historic community
Adamsville is a historic community about 8 miles from downtown. "Adamsville has strong roots in the Black community," says Rahmann Williams, Realtor with Cox & Company Real Estate, who has been selling houses for over a decade. "It has changed so much but still has a long way to go. It's a great opportunity for first-time homebuyers." Once rooted in farming in the 1800s, the area has become a community of generational neighbors that has produced prominent city leaders. Neighborhood schools have partnerships that connect students with mentors, offer free after-school care and provide specialized programs. Adamsville also has easy interstate access and multiple public transportation options. Historically Black colleges, Morehouse and Spelman, are just 7 miles away.

Martin, who played a major role in funding the recreation center, is also featured. This newer center features a 50-meter public swimming pool and hosts a midnight basketball tournament.

Adamsville's midcentury ranch-styles and new developments
Apartment complexes and ranch-style houses flank the main road, tucked behind retail spots and surrounded by clusters of trees. The narrow, winding streets, some lined with sidewalks, lead past homes perched on hills, with spacious backyards backing into wooded areas. In 2022, Atlanta Housing announced a new project to build 108 affordable units for seniors. Most residences here are under 2,000 square feet, featuring up to four bedrooms and two baths. The newly built homes along Hemphill School Road have traditional designs with farmhouse elements, such as board-and-batten siding and large covered front porches. Prices range from $130,000 to over $425,000.
