Candler Park is located about 5 minutes east of downtown Atlanta and just south of Ponce De Leon Avenue. This National Register of Historic Places neighborhood is one of Atlanta's first suburbs and was founded as Edgewood in 1890. The neighborhood is home to many talented people, great shops, bars, and everything eclectic. Candler Park is a family-friendly neighborhood with a focus on walkability and livability.
Candler Park is a wonderful neighborhood with beautiful 1920s Craftsman bungalow homes, excellent parks, and a fun business district located on Atlanta's east side near Emory University. The majority of homes in the neighborhood have been renovated and many are true showplaces. Candler Park is a neighborhood with a true sense of community where neighbors know one another and socialize. It is also one of the few neighborhoods in the city that has basically everything you need -- from it's own business district (plus Little Five Points and the new Edgewood Retail district nearby) to wonderful recreation venues, and super-easy access to MARTA rail. It's also just minutes from just about everything else you might want -- Emory University, City of Decatur, Downtown Atlanta, Midtown's arts venues, Virginia-Highland, and the interstate!
