Calm and convenience blend in Baker Hills
Baker Hills offers a quiet setting without being too far from Atlanta's action. Thanks to nearby Interstates 285 and 20, the commute downtown and to other major business districts is fairly manageable. Six Flags Over Georgia and several shopping centers are also just a quick drive away. This convenient location, combined with older homes that are comparatively more affordable than the city’s median, makes Baker Hills a popular choice for investors and first-time buyers.
The wide streets of Baker Hills feature mature pine trees.
Most houses in the neighborhood were built throughout the mid-20th century.

House styles and prices
Ranch-style, bi-level and split-level houses from the mid-20th century dot Baker Hills’ winding roads. The median sale price is around $230,000, which is well below Atlanta's median of about $425,000 but similar to nearby neighborhoods like Collier Heights and Carroll Heights. These lower prices are mostly a result of the age and condition of the homes in the area. “Fixer-uppers are the norm on the Westside of Atlanta,” says Rachel Ehlinger, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta North who has sold several homes in this part of the city. “People don’t really move over here unless they’re willing to renovate.” Houses that need some work can start in the mid-$100,000s, while homes with updates can reach the lower $300,000s.
Some split-level homes in Baker Hills have covered car ports.
Ranch style homes are in common in Baker Hills.

Commute times from Baker Hills
Baker Hills is less than 2 miles from Interstates 285 and 20. Easy access to these highways helps you get to:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 15 to 20 minutes
Downtown Atlanta in 20 to 30 minutes
Midtown Atlanta in 30 to 40 minutes
Buckhead in 30 minutes to an hour
Commute times can sometimes be longer, depending on traffic. “The closer you are to those highways, the better,” Ehlinger says. “Rush hour traffic is already bad enough most days, so getting to those highways quickly is always a plus.”
Places to get outside
Wilson Mill Park sits on Baker Hills’ east side with a playground, a baseball field and tennis courts. Just 4 miles west, Six Flags Over Georgia has more than 45 rides, ranging from the 200-foot-tall Goliath rollercoaster to the funnel-shaped Tsunami Surge waterslide. The park is open all summer and draws crowds for fall events like Fright Fest, which can make traffic in the area a bit heavier. “I-20 leads straight to it, so you’ll definitely notice more congestion right when the park opens or whenever there’s something special happening,” Ehlinger says.
Where to go out to eat and shop
Baker Hills is almost entirely residential, but the nearby Adamsville neighborhood has some convenience stores and a handful of casual places to eat. Memezz Restaurant is a no-frills diner serving breakfast staples and soul food classics, while Ameen Fish & Wings is a drive-through known for its fried catfish. Other commercial hubs within 10 miles include:
West Ridge Shopping Center, home to a Wayfield Supermarket, an O’Reilly Auto Parts and a Hibbett
Cascade Crossing, which has a Publix and is surrounded by chain fast-food restaurants like Chick-fil-A and Starbucks
Greenbriar Mall, where you’ll find a Foot Locker, along with locally owned clothing stores
Several grocery stores are just a quick drive away.
Locally owned and operated Double Scoop Ice Cream offers a number of flavors and toppings.
