This is a fully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment in a fine Victorian home in Atlanta's historic Kirkwood neighborhood.

There's a spacious bedroom and bathroom (all linens included too!), and you have access to the spectacular, deep front porch and a gorgeous new backyard swimming pool. You also have off-street parking for up to 2 cars.
Kirkwood (established 1899) is one of Atlanta's oldest suburbs as is located between downtown Atlanta and downtown Decatur. In recent years, this neighborhood has experienced a dramatic resurgence. Many residents belong to the active Kirkwood Neighbors' Organization, which holds monthly meetings in a neighborhood church. Demand for homes in the area has skyrocketed in the past decade as young professionals return to Intown neighborhoods to reclaim the strong sense of community they lost in the suburbs. Fine Victorian homes are sprinkled in among the predominant Craftsman bungalows, and many of these lovely homes have been lovingly renovated to their former glory. Sensitive new construction is taking place on virtually every available piece of land.
New commercial development is taking place in the area as well. The Kirkwood business district is also in the process of a radical transformation. A major intown developer is creating Kirkwood Village along Hosea L. Williams Drive. The new development is expected to include 12,500 square feet of upscale retail plus several new restaurants. A neighborhood sports bar is also under development. This new business district will be a great addition to the neighborhood within the next couple of years! Another major new development is the Edgewood Retail District at the intersection of Hosea L. Williams Boulevard and Moreland Avenue. It features 500,000 square feet of retail space and includes major national retailers (Kroger; Target; Lowe's; Barnes & Noble; Office Depot; Bed, Bath & Beyond; and Petco) as well as smaller stores. The Kirkwood streetscape is also in the process of being revitalized with new sidewalks, street lights, and tree plantings.
Area amenities include: Bessie Branham Park (an excellent neighborhood park with tennis courts, a new playground, and an excellent recreational center); the Charlie Yates Public Golf Course at East Lake (which offers reduced greens fees to residents of the 30317 zip code); and the wonderful East Lake Family YMCA -- a state of the art facility that opened in 2001.
Kirkwood and the surrounding neighborhoods are served by the East Lake and Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA rail stations. The neighborhood is also located on the PATH, a multi-use urban trail that is enormously popular with local cyclists, runners, walkers, and in-line skaters.
