Craftsman Chic: Originally built to house blue collar workers, Edgewood's real estate is made up of primarily craftsman bungalows rather than the Victorian architecture you may find in neighboring communities. Today, Edgewood is known for its great location and community amenities as well as its historic housing stock.
Edgewood is a diverse Eastside neighborhood adjacent to Kirkwood, Little Five Points, and Reynoldstown. Residents and visitors enjoy the performing arts center and the creative youth development program in the neighborhood. New development near the established MARTA station promises to make Edgewood even more of a destination in the near future.
Key Features
More than a Bedroom Community: This small neighborhood boasts a rich and vibrant community life alongside convenient amenities. Originally its own town until 1909, Edgewood was developed to accommodate the growing needs of residents who worked downtown during Atlanta's Reconstruction-era economic boom that lasted from 1870 to 1910.
