Pecan Grove Homes for Rent

Pecan Grove, located at the northernmost point of Albany, is a neighborhood of around 1,140 residents divided into four quadrants around the highway. This area is primarily a rental community with ponds, hotels, and fast-food restaurants, and it serves as a small industrial hub with businesses focused on welding, landscaping, electrical services, and automotive care. Housing options include ranch-style houses near the southeastern pond, newer duplexes on Schley Avenue, and traditional homes along Elton Street, with many multifamily units around Cardinal Grove Court. Dining options in Pecan Grove are diverse, with local favorites like Blackbeard’s for seafood and barbecue, and Wingbox for fried wings and burgers. The neighborhood also features coffee shops like Morning Café and Elements Coffee Co., and grocery stores such as Walmart and Dollar General. For recreation, residents enjoy creek fishing and boating at Kinchafoonee Creek, baseball at Ken Gardens Sports Complex, and activities at All American Fun Park, which includes go-karting, miniature golf, and bowling. Despite the frequent noise pollution from nearby Highways 82 and 19, and the need for car dependency due to limited public transit, the neighborhood offers open spaces for biking. The closest emergency care is 3 miles away at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, and the nearest commercial airport is 8 miles south. Environmental concerns include common thunderstorms and flooding risks around Kinchafoonee Creek and Ken Gardens Pond.
