Despite being the smallest city in Dekalb County, Pine Lake is packed with personality. Created as a resort for Atlantans and tucked underneath a tree canopy, Pine Lake feels like an escape for nature lovers and art aficionados. Filled with writers, artists, singers, youthful retirees, and musicians, Pine Lake is known for its artsy events like poetry readings and concerts held in or near the Pine Lake Beach House. When looking for rentals, you’ll find unique architectural styles featuring rock gardens, quirky outdoor art, colorful cottages, vibrant bungalows, and cabin-like interiors. The community is anchored by the namesake lake in the center of the city and you’ll find residents walking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, and kayaking at the lake during the warmer months. Pine Lake also has a small beach for building sandcastles or sunbathing as well as a tennis court and playground near the water. Residents here are extremely close-knit so it’s common to see neighbors, families, and friends chatting while doing these activities or at one of the many artsy-environmental events held throughout the year like LakeFest, an annual celebration of music, art, nature, and food featuring a sandcastle and floating parade contest. For even more outdoor recreation opportunities, Stone Mountain Park is only 16 minutes away. If you work in the city, Atlanta is only about 30 minutes away. The advantage of living in Pine Lake are endless — now it’s up to you to discover your whimsical dream home today!
