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.
Coan Park, Edgewood’s largest public park, is situated along the Trolley Line Trail bordering Kirkwood and is easily one of our favorite places in the area. Aside from lush greenspace, it is home to a wide array of amenities, including a recreation center, baseball/softball field, basketball and tennis courts, children’s playground, picnic pavilions, and an entertainment gazebo. Don’t miss the Coan Park Outdoor Gym, which houses resistance workout equipment available for public use; it’s akin to a playground for adults and well worth a visit.
