Bankhead-Bolton - Atlanta, GA Area Guide

A close-knit community set between the city and a scenic river

Suburban Peaceful Affordable River Community

Situated along the shores of the Chattahoochee just west of I-285, Bankhead-Bolton has all the feel and charm of a classic suburban community. Mid-century homes dot the landscape, and there’s a number of new apartment communities planned for the area’s southeastern corner. If you’re looking for space and serenity while still enjoying access to the city, you’re sure to find an amazing rental here.

There’s an even mix of national chains and locally-owned eateries on Fulton Industrial Blvd. and US-278, along with five parks all within a short drive of each other. Living just outside the 285 perimeter means there’s far less of Atlanta’s infamous traffic to deal with. Across the river lies Six Flag Over Georgia, one of the most impressive amusement parks in the country.
