Welcome To Our Neighborhood

Tucked beneath a soaring canopy of ancient oaks, magnolias, and pines, Peachtree Heights West offers a serene retreat of rolling hills and winding streets—one of Atlanta’s most treasured neighborhoods. Walking here, you can feel the character and charm: friendly neighbors pausing to chat, sharing stories (often with a dog or two in tow), friends gathering at the Atlanta History Center to reflect on the city’s past and envision its future, or residents enjoying peaceful strolls along wide sidewalks lined with architecturally significant homes by visionaries like Hentz, Pringle, Reid, Schutze, and others.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980, this community of about 550 families lies just 15 minutes from downtown, yet feels a world apart. The heart of it all is the Peachtree Heights West Civic Association—a source of neighborhood pride and the organizing force behind beloved events, parks, and shared initiatives that make this place truly special.

How to Join our Civic Association

Membership in our Civic Association provides access to social events, community news and programs, information on our parks and all that we do to ensure their maintenance and long-term cultivation. Your dues fund these initiatives, including a neighborhood-wide security patrol.

To join our association, we ask that you own a residence within the neighborhoods boundaries, and pay annual dues. The boundaries of the neighborhood are as follows: West Paces Ferry to the north, Peachtree Road to the east, Peachtree Battle to the south, and Habersham Road to the west. (View Map)

Membership Perks

  • Security Patrol

    Peachtree Heights West is proud to be considered one of the safest neighborhoods in Atlanta. To help keep it that way, our civic association provides a supplemental security patrol for five hours daily, seven days a week, throughout Peachtree Heights West.

    As a member of the civic association, you benefit from this security patrol within our neighborhood boundaries. Members can request vacation mail pick up and a watch on their house while they are away. Details are provided upon membership. The patrol operates on a random basis, rotating their hours for maximum effect.

  • Member Parties & Meetings

    One of the highlights of membership are the spectacular parties thrown twice a year by members, for members! Each spring and fall, the association hosts an adults-only cocktail party at a member’s home. Libations, hor d’oeuvres, music and entertainment make these parties a must of the social season.

    Our board hosts an Annual Meeting at the History Center. This meeting is designed to gather our neighborhood together to visit and to learn what has happened in the community over the past year as well as what is on the horizon for the year ahead from community experts and the Atlanta City Council.

Neighborhood Resources

  • We have created a set of parameters for any film or television production company seeking to film in our neighborhood. These guidelines include a suggested contribution to the neighborhood association to offset inconvenience to our residents; the funds are used to help fund the security patrol. We also have guidelines for the production companies to help minimize any disruption to the neighborhood. The process is as follows:

    • In order to film here, the production company must first have a permit from the City of Atlanta. This permit specifies dates and times, lane closures, parking of trucks and vans, any exceptions granted from City noise ordinances, permission to film at night, etc.

    • Our film liaison is advised of permits by the City, but the committee also keeps a proactive eye out for projects in case the required permit has not been issued. 

    • As soon as our film liaison is notified of a permit, they contact the production company, negotiate an inconvenience fee and provide a copy of our PHWCA guidelines. 

    • During filming, a film liaison committee member checks to ensure that the production company is complying with the city permit.  If there are any complaints from neighbors, these are discussed with the production company and a resolution is determined.

    If you have questions or concerns about a filming project in our area, please contact our film liaison at filming@phwca.com

    If you agree for your home to be used as a site for filming, please let the film liaison know well in advance of the work beginning by sending a note to filming@phwca.com

  • Peachtree Heights West Garden Club was formed in 2014 for real gardeners. We meet in a member’s home once a month September through May. We recognize that everyone is busy and, therefore, we are not fancy – no polished silver or elaborate food spreads for us. We have also taken field trips to the Philadelphia Flower Show and the Chelsea Flower Show as well as local nurseries and garden sites. We also have had cooking classes and speakers who weren’t garden oriented as well as a recently begun afternoon English tea to kick off in September and always a holiday luncheon. Great friendships and sources for referrals have been made. We welcome everyone. Please contact us at gardenclub@phwca.com if you would like more information.

  • We have a good record of reuniting lost or found pets with their owners, thanks to the caring cooperation of our members. If you lose your pet or spot one that appears to be lost or otherwise in need of help, please send an email to petpatrol@phwca.com. That email should contain your contact information, all the relevant details, as well as a photo, if possible.

    Our Pet Patrol Chair will contact you regarding the current status of the situation and will generate a message to the membership, when appropriate. Your situation will continue to be monitored until it is, hopefully, resolved.

    Please report any other animal-related issues that might affect our neighborhood in the same manner.

  • Whether you lost an axle or spilled your coffee, hitting a pothole is annoying. We are here to try to help make sure it does not happen again. If you know of a pothole not listed below, please send a note to potholepatrol@phwca.com.

    The Pothole Patrol keeps up with the condition of all of our PHW streets, file reports through www.atl311.com and then works with our City Council Office to get them repaired. In some cases, we will also write directly to the Commissioner of Public Works.

    Please report any others in our neighborhood by sending a note to potholepatrol@phwca.com
