In the 1870s, a small community of bungalows developed just east of Atlanta, Georgia. Back then, the roughly two miles from the city to this new community was quite a carriage ride. Today, Kirkwood is a trendy, urban neighborhood of Craftsman bungalows, wide sidewalks, and mature trees. Conveniently located, it is three miles south of Emory University, four miles from Georgia Tech, and a minutes-long MARTA ride to downtown from the nearby East Lake Station.
This pedestrian-friendly pocket neighborhood is located on the PATH, a multi-use trail for cycling, rollerblading, walking, or jogging. The business district contains decorative details such as brick pavers and period lighting and is filled with restaurants, shops, and coffee houses.
