Is Hapeville right for you?
Hapeville tends to click with buyers who want historic character and a small-town downtown, at prices well below many intown neighborhoods, with the airport minutes away.
Historic homes, approachable prices
Craftsman bungalows, cottages and front-porch homes from the early 1900s, plus mid-century ranches and newer townhomes.
A downtown with an arts streak
Murals, butterfly sculptures, the Academy Theatre and festivals like Happy Days bring people to North Central Avenue.
Close to the airport and interstates
Hartsfield-Jackson is next door and I-75 and I-85 are minutes away, a real plus if you work at the airport or travel often.
Where is Hapeville?
Hapeville is its own city in Fulton County, about seven miles south of Downtown Atlanta. It sits between I-75 and I-85, just north of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, next to East Point and College Park. Together the three are known as the Tri-Cities.
Getting around
- MARTA: Hapeville doesn’t have its own rail station. The College Park and Airport stations are a short drive away.
- On foot: Downtown along North Central Avenue is compact and walkable, with restaurants, the depot museum and Jess Lucas Y-Teen Park close together.
- By car: I-75, I-85 and the airport are minutes away, but airport and rush-hour traffic can slow you down, so test your commute.

Homes in Hapeville
Hapeville grew up around the railroad, so the streets near downtown are lined with early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, cottages and traditional homes with front porches. You’ll also find mid-century ranches, renovated homes, newer infill and townhomes. Prices run well below many intown neighborhoods, which is a big part of the draw for first-time buyers.
Three things buyers should know
- Listen for the planes. Aircraft noise depends on the street and the flight path, so visit at different times of day before you buy.
- Know the historic district. The Hapeville Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places. That alone doesn’t stop a private owner from renovating, but check local rules before you plan changes.
- Inspect older homes well. Many homes here are 70 to 100+ years old, so plan for a full inspection and a sewer scope.
Tips for buyers in Hapeville
- Get fully pre-approved before you tour; well-priced homes still move.
- Drive your commute at rush hour, not just on a quiet Sunday.
- Compare Hapeville with East Point and College Park, the other two Tri-Cities.
- Budget for a thorough inspection and sewer scope on older homes.
- Stop by during an event like Happy Days to get a feel for the community.
