Kirkwood & East Lake

Kirkwood and East Lake sit side by side, offering two distinct but complementary ways of living. Kirkwood has seen incredible growth over the years, evolving into a lively, walkable neighborhood with a strong sense of community. Its village center, anchored by spots like Evergreen Butcher + Baker and El Myr, creates a natural hub for gathering. Tree-lined streets and a mix of renovated bungalows and new construction give the neighborhood a fresh yet established feel. 

 

Just across the way, East Lake offers a quieter, more serene atmosphere, centered around the historic East Lake Golf Club and the surrounding green spaces. The Drew Charter School system is a major draw for families, bringing a strong educational component to the area. East Lake Park provides open space for recreation, while the neighborhood itself feels more tucked away and residential. Together, these areas offer a balance — Kirkwood’s energy paired with East Lake’s calm. The proximity to Decatur, Oakhurst, and the BeltLine makes it easy to stay connected to the broader intown lifestyle. There’s a sense of momentum here, but also a feeling of stability and growth. Whether you’re drawn to walkability or a more peaceful setting, this pairing offers both. It’s a place where neighbors know each other, where homes are evolving, and where the future feels bright.
