Edgewood
Small, walkable, and full of personality. Edgewood is the intown pocket that most people drive through without realizing what they're missing.
About Edgewood
Edgewood is one of Atlanta's smallest intown neighborhoods, tucked between Inman Park to the north, Kirkwood to the east, and East Lake to the south. It's compact, roughly bounded by DeKalb Avenue, Whitefoord Avenue, and the MARTA rail line, and its size is part of its charm. You can walk the whole neighborhood in 20 minutes and still have time for a coffee.
The Edgewood Retail District along Moreland Avenue is the commercial anchor, though it serves the broader area more than the neighborhood itself. What defines Edgewood's character is the residential fabric: blocks of bungalows and cottages from the 1910s and 1920s, many renovated, some still in original condition, and a growing number of infill townhomes and duplexes filling in vacant lots.
Edgewood's position between Inman Park and Kirkwood makes it a spillover market for both. Renters who can't find inventory in Inman Park drift east. Families looking at Kirkwood sometimes discover Edgewood's closer-in blocks first. The MARTA station on the neighborhood's western edge (Edgewood/Candler Park Station) gives it transit access that many comparable small neighborhoods lack.
The community has a scrappy, neighborhood-first identity. The Edgewood Community Organization is active, and the annual Edgewood Avenue Yard Crawl (a progressive house party that raises money for neighborhood projects) is exactly the kind of event that defines a neighborhood's personality better than any real estate listing could.

Le Petit Marche (nearby)

Owning a Rental in Edgewood
Edgewood's small size means limited inventory and fast absorption when properties are priced correctly. New-construction duplexes and townhomes are adding inventory, but the overall supply remains tight enough that vacancy periods are short for well-managed properties.
The housing mix is shifting. Original bungalows sit alongside new duplexes and townhomes, and the pricing strategy differs accordingly. New construction competes on finishes and floor plans. Bungalows compete on character, outdoor space, and the neighborhood's walkable feel.
Edgewood's MARTA access is a marketing advantage that's easy to undervalue. In a neighborhood this small, having a rail station within walking distance meaningfully expands the renter pool to include car-free professionals, a segment that grows larger in Atlanta each year.
Inherited a place in Edgewood and weighing what to do with it? Renting it out makes sense in this market, and bringing in management from the start means the leasing, pricing, and maintenance learning curve never lands on you. See what getting started looks like →
