The birthplace of Trap Music
With a profound influence on the hip-hop music scene and acclaimed artists like T.I. calling it home, Bankhead has witnessed a surge in homebuyers following the completion of the Atlanta BeltLine — which represents a 22-mile loop of multi-use trails, greenspace and transit development to better connect Atlanta neighborhoods — and the Westside Reservoir Park. Bankhead residents can shoot hoops at Maddox Park within the community, or venture downtown to notable Atlanta landmarks, like the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca-Cola just minutes down the road. Prospective buyers are taking advantage of the low entry prices, proximity to outdoor amenities and a quick 4-mile commute to downtown Atlanta. As the neighborhood continues to gain interest and popularity, the community maintains its roots through vibrant local dining experiences like Trap City Cafe and the interactive exhibits at the Trap Music Museum. “Bankhead is a growing community attracting area-savvy individuals and investors hoping to capitalize on the future growth — the neighborhood is definitely on its way up,” says Julian Jackson, Real Estate Agent at eXp Realty with over a decade of experience selling in Atlanta.

American Foursquares and cozy bungalows
The original homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1950s and were bungalows and cottages that lined tight city streets. Today, Bankhead features a range of housing options from American Foursquares and cozy bungalows to newly-constructed contemporary styles and two-story single family homes. While renters dominate the area, the area’s development has attracted investors and first-time homebuyers hoping to capitalize on the low entry prices and surge from the expansion of the BeltLine. With a median sales price of around $200,000, price points here can range from the low $100,000s for a two-bedroom bungalow fixer-upper to upwards of $400,000 for a fully-renovated two-story single family home. Homes here often feature tight driveways and are typically fronted by small lawns surrounded by ornate barriers for added seclusion from neighbors. “The expansion of the Atlanta BeltLine is resulting in more accessibility and interest within the area — lots that used to be worth $20,000 7 years ago are now selling for around $70,000,” says Jackson.
Bankhead features leafy lots with shade trees.
Residents can find two-story American foursquare homes throughout the neighborhood.
