Housing Styles

Collier Hills features predominantly 1930s–1940s architecture including Colonial Revivals, traditional cottages, split-level homes, and ranch-style residences. Many homes have been sensitively updated with modern kitchens and baths while preserving original character like hardwood floors and classic proportions. The neighborhood's mature tree canopy and consistent setbacks create a cohesive, park-like streetscape. Lot sizes are generous by intown standards, and the occasional new-build infill respects the established scale.

Market Trends

Collier Hills offers a compelling value proposition in a location that rivals Buckhead and Midtown for convenience but with more accessible pricing. Median home prices typically range from $750K to $1.2M, making it an attractive entry point for buyers who want the Northside Trail, proximity to Chastain Park, and a genuine neighborhood feel.

About Collier Hills

Collier Hills, Atlanta

Collier Hills is one of Atlanta's best-kept secrets — an established, peaceful residential neighborhood positioned perfectly between Buckhead and Midtown. Developed primarily from the 1930s through the late 1940s, the area retains a timeless, tree-lined character with cottage-style homes that feel a world away from the traffic and density just blocks in either direction. What sets Collier Hills apart is its deep connection to nature: Tanyard Creek Park runs through the neighborhood, the Atlanta BeltLine Northside Trail provides direct trail access, and Memorial Park and Ardmore Park are just steps away. For buyers who want an established intown neighborhood with genuine green space and easy access to both Buckhead and Midtown, Collier Hills delivers in ways that are increasingly hard to find.

In Collier Hills that typically means the $750K – $1.2M range.
