My fiance and I bought a home here in Florida Heights a couple of months ago. We moved from Sandy Springs/Dunwoody area so there was definitely a transition. However, we are very pleased with our purchase. Even in the few months that we have been here we see changes in the community. New, spirited neighbors buying homes in the neighborhood, and increasing property values.

Pros:

-We are extremely close to the city.

-It takes us 8 minutes to get to Mercedes Benz stadium and 10 minutes to get downtown and Grady Hospital, the airport is also a 15-20 minute drive as well.

-The new homes and renovated homes here are still affordable but the prices are rising due to the approximation to the city.

-The area is projected to have continuous growth due to the homes rapid growth of Atlanta.

-ALSO, the area is surprisingly quiet despite being off of MLK.

Cons:

-I would not suggest getting gas in much of the neighborhood at night; There are alot of foot traffic on the main streets at night.

-There isn't a real grocery store in the neighborhood, you would have to go to Walmart near AUC or Kroger in the West End.

***Final Note

If you are looking to buy a home in the neighborhood it would be a great investment. It's fairly quiet in the neighborhoods and I haven't experienced any crime. Buying now(8/2019) would be a good investment that you could get in while the homes are less than 220K. The homes in the West End are less than 5 minutes away but are going for $400k & $500k+
