Butner Rd, Butner / Tell

Fall has come to the Atlanta area in all of its glory, making this a super time to visit the Butner-Tell area of south Atlanta (named for Butner and Stonewall-Tell Roads). What’s so special about Butner-Tell this time of year? If you are an outdoor nut like me, you would appreciate an exhilarating time hugging the curves along Butner Road, as you watch the leaves change colors along the way. I have a sporty convertible so I love to take side trips to take in the beauty of the endless sea of mature trees there.

For the less 'outdoorsy' among us, this neighborhood has other great features. It is close to just about everything: Camp Creek Parkway and its easy access to the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and South Fulton government buildings; and newly developed shops and a nearby spa.

Butner-Tell has a ‘country feel’ with quick access to all of the amenities. Sometimes, it is hard to believe that on most days it takes a mere 30 minutes - or less - to get to Midtown Atlanta from there – even at rush hour. It may also be one of the only places in the Atlanta metro area where you can still easily buy a four-sided brick home with 5 bedrooms and 5 bath, 3,000 square foot home for less than $300,000!
