Ashford Park
Adjacent to the better known Brookhaven neighborhood, Ashford Park was developed in the 1950s to house military personnel who worked at the base that is now home to Peachtree-Dekalb Airport, and is very convenient to Lenox Square Mall and Buckhead. The area is known for affordable homes, many of which are being converted into large estates.
East Lake
In 1891, two creeks and a five spring watershed were dammed to form East Lake. Today, the area surrounding East Lake, approximately 5 miles east of the center of downtown Atlanta is called…East Lake! Homes range from comfortable bungalows to magnificent estates. The nearby village of East Lake features eclectic shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.
Lenox Park/Morningside
One of the things that makes Lenox Park such an attractive place to live is the old growth trees and the 12 parks in the area. In fact, Lenox Park is close to the newly created Wildwood Urban Nature Preserve. All home styles, sizes and price ranges can be found in this family and pedestrian-friendly community with home styles ranging from Mediterranean, to Colonial, to Modern.
Winnona Park
Roughly bordered by East College Avenue to the north, South Columbia Drive to the east, Kirk Road to the south, and South Candler as the western boundary, Winnona Park is located in the southeastern portion of the City of Decatur. Even though the community is found in the Registry of Historic Places, there are no restrictions or review procedures for renovating the existing homes which were originally built between 1910 and the 1950s.
