College Park
A historic district, its own MARTA station, and a newer-built housing wave on Hartsfield-Jackson's west side.

The 60-second read
College Park pairs one of the southside's oldest street grids with a newer sales mix. 55% of recent sales were built 2015 or later, yet the historic College Park district still anchors the core along the MARTA line. The median close was $359,990 across 73 FMLS sales in the 12 months through September 2026.
The annual median has climbed from $267,750 in 2021 to $340,000 in 2025. But this is still a market with time in it: a 45-day median on market and sales averaging 95.6% of list. Translation: buyers get time and a little leverage here.
What the housing stock actually is
College Park's sales mix is unusual for a city with a historic core: 55% of recent sales were built 2015 or later, much of it townhome and infill product, while 9% predate 1960 and cluster near the historic district. Only 2% of sales since 2020 were homes built 2020 or later, so the newer stock is mostly late-2010s construction coming back around as resale.
The middle half of sales ran $317,500 to $384,000 and 1,428 to 2,216 square feet, at a median $181 per square foot, per FMLS data compiled by the Terence Richardson Group. Sales averaged 95.6% of list with a 45-day median on market. So price firm if you're selling, and offer patiently if you're buying.
