Homes in Summerhill
Summerhill was founded in 1865 by freed slaves and Jewish immigrants just south of Downtown. The stadium built for the 1996 Olympics later became Turner Field, and since Georgia State bought it in 2017, the old parking lots have become homes, apartments, shops and restaurants. Today you’ll find newer townhomes and infill alongside renovated Craftsman bungalows. The median sale price in the Summerhill subdivision was $545,000 over the past 12 months, according to FMLS.

Three things buyers should know
- Know what’s being built. Summerhill is still changing; a new building nearby can affect views, traffic and noise.
- Visit on game day. Check traffic and parking near the stadium on an event night.
- Review HOA documents. Most townhomes have HOAs, so check fees, budgets and rules.
