Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
This urban trail, part of the PATH Atlanta project, gets its name from its route alongside one of Altanta’s first streetcars lines dating back to the late 19th century. The 7-mile asphalt path was intended to connect Georgia State University with Agnes Scott College in Decatur, ultimately meeting up with the Stone Mountain Trail to the east. Do note that a significant part of the trail traverses major roads, so measure your comfort level and experience accordingly. The section of the trail that is separated from street traffic is a great, scenic recreational bike and walking path. For the easiest trail access, parking at Coan Park or Gilliam Park is recommended.
