Kirkwood
Your Intown Atlanta Neighborhood Guide: Kirkwood
Prized for its close-knit community, affordability, and location, Kirkwood is especially popular among first time home buyers and young professionals. Gentrification began in the late 1980s and hasn’t stopped since, with home values in recent years appreciating more quickly than a large majority of other Atlanta neighborhoods. The section north of Hosea Williams, dubbed NoHo, has seen more accelerated growth, with a larger proportion of homes renovated, compared to its southern half that lies south of Hosea Williams (SoHo). Craftsman style homes and bungalows are the most common architectural style found in this popular neighborhood.
Downtown Kirkwood is a beloved space, which is formed at the intersection of Oakview Rd. and Hosea Williams Dr., and features a coffee shop, restaurants, pubs, and a pet store, as well as several other boutiques and shops. A recently constructed mixed-use development, Kirkwood Station is home to many of these aforementioned eateries and shops located on the ground level, with luxury townhomes conveniently situated above the fun.
