Kirkwood

If you are looking to find a small town feel within the city of Atlanta, Kirkwood definitely has that vibe. It’s not unusual to find several bike racks next to the small shops and pubs filled up as local residents meet up in Kirkwood's downtown area. Kirkwood real estate has a mix of victorian and craftsman bungalows and offers an abundance of home options that are attracting more and more home seekers each year. Kirkwood is located north of I-20 and south of Dekalb Ave and is surrounded by its neighbors of East Lake, Oakhurst, Lake Claire, and Edgewood. In the early 2000’s, the downtown area of Kirkwood (located along Hosea L. Williams and Howard St) started to flourish and attract more residents to this small town community feel. Now, the downtown boasts its own fire station, public library, and various small shops, restaurants, and pubs. Kirkwood has its own set of festivals including the Kirkwood Spring Fling and the ever popular Kirkwood Wine Stroll. The location of Kirkwood is a quick drive to downtown and major highways and includes 2 parks that you will find many of the young Kirkwood family residents hanging out at.
