Collier Heights, commonly referred to as "The Historic Collier", is an affluent area of the City of Atlanta, Georgia. Collier Heights is ranked as one of the most historic and prestigious addresses in the city. The neighborhood is nestled in the southwest corner of Atlanta. Collier Heights is bordered to the west by Fairburn Road, the east by Hamilton E. Holmes Drive, the north by Donald L. Hollowell Highway, and to the south by Interstate 20 bridge at Linkwood Road. Having the distinction of being one of the first communities in the nation built exclusively by African-American planners for the upcoming Atlanta African-American middle class, this community has been featured in several national publications, such as Ebony and Jet magazines, as well as featured in the “Homefinder” section of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Led by prominent Atlanta Attorney Antavius M. Weems, the Association President, in 2008 Collier Heights began its quest to become the first community in the nation to be registered as a Historic Site, listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, due to its significance of being the first community in the nation built by African Americans for their fellow African Americans. On June 23, 2009 the historic community achieved its goal.
