Area Guide

Edgewood Atlanta, GA

In-town living at its most vibrant

Vibrant Urban Artistic

Edgewood sits about three miles east of downtown Atlanta, between Candler Park to the north, Kirkwood to the east, and Reynoldstown to the west. The neighborhood has a low-key, residential feel with tree-lined streets and a walkable stretch of local shops and eateries along Moreland Avenue. Getting to Little Five Points takes only a few minutes, and Midtown and downtown are an easy drive or MARTA ride away. The Edgewood Retail District adds a larger commercial anchor to the area, making day-to-day errands pretty simple without leaving the neighborhood. The streets are lined with American Craftsman bungalows that give the area a lot of character. Rentals in Edgewood include single-family homes and townhomes, along with garden-style apartment communities and smaller mid-rise buildings scattered through the area.

I love it here! It is extremly walkable. There are tons of resturants and stores to walk to. The nightlife is great and we're just a few miles from East Atlanta Village. Definitely the city feel without all the noise. And you can get to the highway in 3 minutes.
