located directly adjacent to the City of Atlanta. The population was 6,180 at the 2000 census.

Once regarded as a somewhat depressed industrial area, Hapeville has, in recent years, seen significant gentrification. It has been discovered by young professionals seeking historic neighborhoods close to Downtown Atlanta, and home prices have risen dramatically. Since 1947, Hapeville has been home to a Ford assembly plant, recently making the Taurus. In January 2006, it was announced that it would close in 2007, taking with it a large part of the city's tax revenue. There are already plans for redevelopment, however, envisioning something like the successful Atlantic Station in adjacent Atlanta, but with fast access to the nearby Atlanta Airport.

It is home to the Dwarf House - the first Chick-fil-A restaurant. Celebrities originating from Hapeville include Jeff Foxworthy.
