Homes in Ashview Heights
Ashview Heights grew in the 1910s as the streetcar reached the area and developer Herman Perry built homes and offered mortgages to Black families at a time when they were hard to get. Today you’ll find Craftsman bungalows, cottages with deep front porches, renovated historic homes and some newer infill. Prices vary a lot between move-in-ready homes and ones that still need work.
Three things buyers should know
- Expect a wide price range. With few sales each year, prices swing a lot, so compare carefully with your agent.
- Budget for an older home. Many homes are about 100 years old. Plan for a full inspection and a sewer scope.
- Walk the blocks. The neighborhood is still changing, so walk your street and the blocks around it at different times of day.
Tips for buyers in Ashview Heights
- Get fully pre-approved before you tour so you’re ready when the right home comes up.
- Ask about down payment help: Georgia Dream and City of Atlanta programs may help qualifying buyers.
- Walk your street and the AUC area on a weekday and a weekend.
- Check the school zone for the exact address with Atlanta Public Schools.
- Ask what has been updated in an older home, and whether permits were pulled.
