Neighborhoods - Underwood Hills

Situated between Buckhead and Bankhead, Underwood Hills is within spitting distance of I-75. Though established in 1902, when it was called Northside Park, the neighborhood didn’t begin to thrive until the ’20s, when many residents worked for the nearby Seaboard Coastline Railroad. Today, Underwood Hills is a close-knit community of families who gather at the popular Underwood Park for its noted playgrounds, and who recently rallied together to oppose construction on a QuikTrip at the corner of Howell Mill Road and Defoor Avenue. — Alicia Carter
