Dixie Hills: Neighborhood History and Real Estate

Centrally located within Fulton County and flanked by the communities of Mozley Park, Hunter Hills, West Lake, Grove Park, and Center Hill; Dixie Hills is one of Atlanta’s 242 officially recognized (Since 1938) North Western neighborhoods.

Firstly, it is important to know what direction a community is going and it is overseen by Atlanta’s Neighborhood Planning Unit- J (NPU-J) The NPU-J is a volunteer forum that consults both consumers and businesses on information in regards to land use, variances and zoning, liquor licenses, and special events. As a result of the transformation of the Bellwood Quarry into Westside Park, there is no doubt that this non-governmental arm is quite busy in regards to the growth in the area.

Secondly, Dixie Hills along with the neighborhoods mentioned above comprise the new Westside Park area of Atlanta. Westside Park will be the largest park within the city of Atlanta. The park will be 280 acres of green space. It will also include Atlanta’s largest water reservoir.

Lastly, Dixie Hills shares borders with other unique neighborhoods and active developments. It is bordered by Joseph E. Boone Blvd on its northernmost border. Because Interstate I-20 creates the southernmost border the neighborhood is only a hop skip and a jump from the Westside Beltline area further south. Additional borders are Whitaker and Anderson Ave on the East and Harvel Homes and Westhaven communities on the West.

Dixie Hills has an active Civic Association with very reasonable membership rates as well as an active Facebook Page.
