Kirkwood Real Estate Market

Steeped in a long and illustrious history, the Intown neighborhood of Kirkwood has undergone a Renaissance. There’s a sensibility for potential in Kirkwood—there always has been. It was a quality that people saw more than a decade ago, when the storefronts brightened on the main drag, and when long-forgotten homes, in need of some serious TLC and elbow grease, were restored to their original glory. Today, that potential has translated into something a bit more personal. It’s pride.

The people who live in Kirkwood are a close-knit bunch—families, couples, singles, you name it—unified by the common knowledge that they played a part in making their historic community, held together by a brick-lined commercial district, lush green spaces, and historic Victorian- and Craftsman-style homes, special. The long-time residents love to talk about how the rest of the city around them evolved, and how their neighborhood is where the Renaissance started.


Kirkwood Community Highlights

An affordable, historic home (that doesn’t require a lot of work)
A location close to the center of the city and to major roads
Restaurants and entertainment options within walking distance
Deep roots in Atlanta’s history
Diverse neighbors from all walks of life
A private school option for the kids—the public schools around Kirkwood are, unfortunately, not rated very well. (but getting better by the year!)


Kirkwood Neighborhood Amenities

Kirkwood is what’s referred to as a ‘close-in’ neighborhood. Nestled between major arteries like DeKalb Avenue, Memorial Drive and I-20, it’s not too hard to get from point A to point B, and at a distance of only four miles from Downtown and Midtown, the amenities of the big city remain close.

While trees line the streets of Kirkwood, there are some green spaces too, ranging from tiny, intimate squares, to the larger Bessie Branham Park, located just a couple of blocks from Kirkwood’s commercial center.

Top Tips

History buffs like to spend time in Kirkwood. The area predates the Civil War by decades, and several markers line the streets, detailing the major events that took place during the Battle of Atlanta. Otherwise, this part of town was home to some of Atlanta’s most prominent figures of the last two centuries.

Kirkwood is pretty self-contained, but people from all over Atlanta love to visit, especially on the weekends to poke around Hosea L. Williams Drive, where the bulk of the neighborhood’s restaurants, shops, and entertainment options are found.

Sure, Kirkwood is close to the middle of a major city. But pack the golf clubs: The Charlie Yates Golf Course is only a few block to the south, and a lot of Kirkwood residents are members.


School Guide

For all of Kirkwood’s virtues, it’s not very well known for its public school system. Private options exist, and are increasingly utilized by Intown inhabitants, but for reference, here is a list of nearby schools that serve the neighborhood.

New to Atlanta?

Whether you’ve already slated your move to Atlanta, or are just considering this city as your new home, you’re likely going to be doing a lot of research. Every city has nuances, history, quirks, and jargon that can be confusing for newcomers, and Atlanta is no different. We’ve taken the liberty of providing a few basics with our Atlanta Beginner’s Guide. Check it out, and you’ll be feeling like a local in no time. 


Getting Around

 Access is one of the strongest reasons for Kirkwood’s success. DeKalb Avenue lines the northern edge of the neighborhood, while Memorial Drive and I-20 straddle the south. Both roads lead east, terminating in Downtown Atlanta at the Connector.

 The I-75/I-85 Connector is located about four miles to the east, while I-20 bucks up against the southwestern corner of the neighborhood.

 Your best bet to get a MARTA train is going to be the East Lake station, located at the northeast corner of the community on DeKalb Avenue.

The History
