Colonial Homes is one of the smallest communities in Atlanta in terms of total population, but it offers its 1,997 residents the best of all worlds. Situated in Fulton County, Colonial Homes offers easy living with an urban feel, plus plenty of nature, shopping, recreational activities, and the arts. There are two shopping centers within 0.3 miles of Colonial Homes, and five parks within 3.4 miles, including the Atlanta History Center, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Piedmont Park, and Atlanta Botanical Garden.

The median home price is $210,000 and, since more than half the population rents, there’s also low maintenance properties such as condos, townhomes, or rental apartments. Families are afforded good schools such as Rivers Elementary, Sutton Middle School, and North Atlanta public school.

Residents of Colonial Homes are surrounded by outdoor activities. The Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile project of biking and hiking trails developed along a former train corridor, adjoins Colonial Homes through Tanyard Park, an urban forest. Peachtree Creek meanders along its border. Golfers will enjoy teeing up at the Bobby Jones Golf Course and tennis enthusiasts can ace their opponents on the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center. There’s also easy access to Peachtree Road NE and Piedmont Hospital.
