Garden Hills is a “popular historic neighborhood featuring winding tree-lined streets, landscaped traffic islands and an eclectic mix of homes,” ansleyatlanta.com wrote. It’s also one of the hottest Atlanta neighborhoods for 2020.
Real estate website Redfin developed its national 2020 watch list by identifying neighborhoods with the greatest year-over-year growth on its site and by speaking with agents about what areas are seeing rising interest from homebuyers.
No Georgia cities made the national list, but Redfin also determined the three hottest neighborhoods in some of the country’s largest metro areas, including Atlanta.
