About East Atlanta

East Atlanta Village — the blocks around Flat Shoals and Glenwood — is the cheapest walkable pocket on the east side. Housing is bungalows and small duplexes, often three-bedroom, and it's the usual landing spot for people who want Atlanta's music and bar scene without Midtown prices.

Getting to work from East Atlanta

No rail stop, so most people drive; downtown is about 15 minutes off I-20. The 74 and 32 buses connect toward MARTA stations, and the BeltLine Southside Trail is slowly closing the gap toward Grant Park.

Who shares apartments here

Musicians, service-industry workers, artists, and early-career professionals, plus a growing number of remote workers priced out of Old Fourth Ward.

The trade-off

It's the most affordable option on this list, but you'll want a car and blocks vary a lot street to street. Walk the specific block before you sign.
