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 overlooked 8-acre hidden gem sits on a Civil War battleground in the southeast corner of the Edgewood community. While the park has fallen into a state of disrepair due to years of neglect, The Friends of Walker Park are working to to revitalize natural open design of the space, proposing the addition of a 6’ wide concrete walking path around a multi-use sports field, large and small dog runs, pavilions and picnic areas, renovated playgrounds and tennis courts, and a community garden.
