About

 

Developed in 1922 as a twentieth century planned residential subdivision, many lots boast grand homes and beautiful landscapes.

Historically, Shirley Hills has been the home of many prominent businessmen and community leaders in Macon. A majority of the land was the estate of A.O. Bacon, a Georgia legislator and United States Senator from 1895-1914.

The designers of this planned community focused on creating a radiant, picturesque space with a park-like feeling. The year-round natural beauty of Jackson Springs Park is a local favorite and attracts many visitors. The park is honorably named after General Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, a charismatic hero of the War of 1812, who camped here with his fellow troops.
