Living in Fairburn Heights allows residents to get where they need to go. The community is close to two major highways that can take drivers across the Atlanta region. Restaurants and green spaces surround the suburban neighborhood, which has lower-priced homes than other parts of the city.
The neighborhood is filled with traditional ranch-style and split-level homes, many of them built in the 1960s or earlier. They often range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. Modern and renovated homes that can run from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. The area’s average home value is well below the Atlanta metro area average, but that may soon change. Roger Whitesell, a Realtor with Eastside Realty Group LLC, says the neighborhood is “coming back up … There are a lot of investors that are buying up property.”
The community is suburban, with homes that have grassy lawns, bushes and small- to medium-size trees. Residential streets are wide enough that cars can park on both sides without blocking traffic. While Fairburn Road, a main thoroughfare, has a sidewalk, many smaller roads in the car-dependent area do not. The neighborhood’s median age is around 35, and its population under 18 is above the national average.
Fairburn Heights’ location is one of its biggest draws. The community sits at the intersection of interstates 285 and 20, which respectively can get drivers around and through the heart of Atlanta. It takes roughly 15 minutes to reach Downtown Atlanta and Peachtree Center with no traffic slowdowns — though as Whitesell says, “It doesn’t have to be rush hour [in Atlanta]. There’s just traffic.” I-20 West also leads toward Six Flags Over Georgia, around 10 minutes away. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is close to a 20-minute drive. Several Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority bus stops sit along Fairburn Road.
Students are zoned for highly rated Atlanta Public Schools, with Harper-Archer Elementary School sitting in the neighborhood. The highly rated Whitefield Academy, a private school for prekindergarten through 12th-grade students, is roughly 5 miles away. The Georgia Promise Scholarship sends eligible families nearly $6,500 to cover private school tuition and other expenses.
There are a handful of things to do in and around the neighborhood. Options include:
There are no restaurants in the community, but several are within a few miles. Residents can try:
