What it is like to live in East Atlanta
East Atlanta is a mix of bungalows, cottages, and newer infill homes on tree-lined streets, with a younger, community-driven feel around the Village. It is close to downtown and the BeltLine's south side, and the trade-off is the older housing stock and the parking. Verify the school line and the county for any address before you commit.
