Edgewood
About the Neighborhood
EDGEWOOD was developed during Atlanta’s Reconstruction era economic boom that lasted from 1870 to 1910 to accommodate the growing needs of residents that worked downtown. Initially geared toward blue-collar workers, Edgewood’s historic housing was made up of craftsman bungalows blended with the Victorian architecture you may find in neighboring communities.
Today Edgewood is a popular neighborhood for its central location with easy access to downtown Atlanta and an abundance community amenities. The area offers renovated bungalows as well as new construction homes, condos, and townhomes.
