Ben Hill Pines

Located in Southwest Atlanta, Ben Hill Pines borders unincorporated Fulton county. Major roads and interstates that are featured in this community are Campbelton road and interstate 285. Perhaps the the most notable landmark in Ben Hill Pines is Greenbriar Mall. Greenbriar Mall was once the epicenter of economic activity for this area. This mall was the site of the first Mall Chic-f-ale restaurant in 1967.

Since the late 70s though, The Greenbriar Mall area has experienced much decline. Most major retailers have either relocated or are barely keeping their doors open. This area of Ben Hill now consist mainly of fast food restaurants, beauty supply stores and a host of other vacant former retail establishments.

Much of Ben Hill Pines’s development has actually shifted to its southern section closer to the Camp Creek exit on I-285. This area is known as Camp Creek Market place. The Camp Creek Market place hosts an array of national retail and restaurant chains and small businesses. The area also has an expanding office park area that hosts a distribution center for Dick’s sporting goods. This development has improved the lifestyle of the residents of the area. Many middle class families that once lived closer to Atlanta have relocated to this community to take advantage of the many real estate developments in this area.
