Listing description
About this home
Lush and just a little extra describes this beautifully unique home in the popular West End area. Professionally designed landscaping greets you first: manicured hedges, a winding stone walkway, and mature trees that make the whole place feel settled and intentional, the kind of curb appeal that lets you know that the home has been well cared for. Dual driveways (one on each side of the home) give guests lots of parking space.
Inside, hardwoods run throughout and the home feels intentionally and cohesively designed rather than just another same ol' 3 bed/2 bath place. The living room opens with upscale details and window treatments (all of which remain with the home) and a cozy fireplace that you'll love during this extra-cold winter. The living room flows perfectly into the dining area, which features a trey ceiling and chandelier that quietly elevate everyday meals or company.
The kitchen centers on rich wood cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a tiled backsplash with laundry combined with pantry neatly tucked behind glass folding doors so the working parts stay out of sight until you need them. On the opposite side of the home, the primary bedroom feels luxurious, with a chandelier, comfortable seating area, and enough space to actually relax instead of just sleep. The ensuite bath delivers tile floors and walls, a floating wood double vanity, a glass shower and a separate jetted tub.
The primary's large walk-in closet gives you real storage without the usual "maybe it fits" compromise. The second and third bedrooms give you actual room to work or create without sacrificing the main living areas. The hall bath also features tile floors and walls and a glass shower.
The unfinished basement delivers plenty of open storage for everything that doesn't need a prime spot upstairs. Out back, a big wooded yard and generous deck give you actual room to host: privacy from the trees, lots of space for people to mingle, and none of the "we'll just stand in the kitchen" compromise. Everyday life is close: The BeltLine Westside Trail and the very fun and very popular Lee + White building (breweries, food hall, patios) are just a 7-8 minute drive.
Grocery, neighborhood parks, and West End MARTA are all convenient as well. Live with character. West End energy is calling your name.

Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.
Property tax (first-year est.)
~$3,833/yr
Estimate: a typical Fulton effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.
CDD assessment
Not reported
The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.
Insurance (illustrative range)
$2k–$4k/yr
An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.
HOA
None reported
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no mandatory association applies.
Environmental data
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
FEMA flood zone
Zone X
From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.

Oct 2026 · Retail Dining
Nordstrom Rack opens in former DSW space at Atlantic Station
Nordstrom Rack opened a roughly 28,000-square-foot store at Atlantic Station in the anchor space DSW held for over two decades. It is the chain's eighth Georgia store. Owner Hines has also hired Trademark Property Company for retail management and leasing, and no replacement for the closed Publix has been announced.
Why it matters: The opening fills a long-standing anchor space and adds an off-price shopping option within the district. The project is about 6 miles northeast of Cascade Heights, elsewhere in Fulton County.
Retail overhaul begins on Virginia-Highland's North Highland Avenue strip
Developer Third & Urban started work in October on the Atkins Park block, investing over $3 million in building and streetscape upgrades across three blocks. A largely vacant section at 780 North Highland Ave. will get an indoor-outdoor courtyard and new retail, with completion expected by spring 2027 and food and beverage tenants targeted. Existing businesses remain open during construction.
Why it matters: Renovated storefronts and a courtyard should add new dining and shopping options along a walkable commercial strip by spring 2027. The project is about 7 miles northeast of Cascade Heights, elsewhere in Fulton County.
Beltline leaders broke ground on a 0.3-mile, 14-foot-wide multi-use trail near Bobby Jones Golf Course heading east toward Peachtree Road, with a pedestrian bridge and elevated section. Construction is scheduled to finish in early 2028, and the full Northwest Trail will span 4.3 miles from Blandtown to Lindbergh and Morosgo.
Why it matters: The segment will give walkers and cyclists a protected link toward the Peachtree Road corridor, including the Piedmont Hospital and Shepherd Center area, when finished in 2028. The project is about 8 miles northeast of Cascade Heights, elsewhere in Fulton County.
Atlanta City Council advances resolution for 22-mile Beltline rail roadmap
A resolution from Council Member Kelsea Bond asks the mayor, MARTA and Beltline leaders to build an implementation and funding roadmap for a $3.5 billion, 22-mile light rail loop. A full Council vote was scheduled for Sept. 21, with a proposed Jan. 26, 2027 deadline for the roadmap. Public comment on the Beltline transit plan closes Nov. 3, 2026.
Why it matters: If funded, Beltline rail could improve transit access to intown neighborhoods and job centers, though no construction start or first segment has been set. The site is about 7 miles northeast of Cascade Heights.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 2160 Essex Avenue and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 2160 Essex Avenue was built in 1950 and has 1,713 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 2160 Essex Avenue in?
2160 Essex Avenue is in Cascade Heights in Atlanta, Fulton County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 2160 Essex Avenue have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
How are property taxes on 2160 Essex Avenue estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $3,833 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 2160 Essex Avenue in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
