Kenwood has a natural allure
Minus the sound of crickets in the summer months, Kenwood residents don’t have to worry about noisy neighbors. Located 5 miles north of Fayetteville and 20 miles south of Atlanta, this idyllic semirural community features homes that are well spread out from each other. Yet, amenities are just a short drive away. “Kenwood is the hidden gem of the metro Atlanta area,” says Danielle Rudolph, a real estate broker and developer with Rudolph & Co. Real Estate and Development, who has been selling homes in the area since 2021. “The reason why people want to live out there is because you have the ambiance of nature. People like having large acreage, mature trees and privacy. It’s very peaceful. Plus, it’s easy to commute to Atlanta in and out of the Kenwood area and the airport is minutes away.”
Kenwood's Fayette Pavilion is the area's epicenter for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
If you're looking for homes with acres between neighbors, Kenwood is your destination.

Kenwood is an established community
Most properties in Kenwood sit on half an acre or more with mature oak and cedar trees that are common to the area. However, there are a few pocket subdivisions with homes on smaller lots, closer to their neighbors.
The average sales price hovers around $425,000. Homebuyers can find a three-bedroom ranch-style home with roomy front and back yards in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. For $500,000 to $800,000, larger colonial-style houses sit on an acre or more. Luxury properties can reach the millions here, often occupying two-plus acres and including seven or more bedrooms, high ceilings and open floor plans. “Buyers like this neighborhood because it’s mature,” says Greg Boston, a senior agent with Redfin, who specializes in the area. “There’s not a lot of new construction, and people have been in their homes a while.”
Common architectural styles of Kenwood homes include Craftsman in individualistic colors.
Ranch style homes sit on large acreage in the Kenwood area and blend with the natural elements.

Residents enjoy the outdoors at Kenwood Park
Kenwood Park on Route 279 is the centerpiece of the community. At 172 acres, the park features two playgrounds —one for older kids and another for younger kids. There are also multiple sports courts here, for tennis, basketball and sand volleyball, and a soccer field surrounded by a track is a great spot to run or kick a ball around.
Several other options are available in Fayetteville, like The Ridge Nature Preserve on Burch Road. With seven miles of trails that wind through the woods, it’s a popular spot for hiking, running and mountain biking. “Fayetteville is a place where people like to get out,” Boston says. “There are bike trails, park areas and outdoor breweries. It’s a nice area to be outdoorsy.”
Fun Spot America theme park is just east of the community, offering a variety of rides from bumper cars to roller coasters.
