Artsy and historic neighborhood on the Atlanta BeltLine
Although there’s debate about how Cabbagetown got its name, one fact about this east side neighborhood is undeniable: this former mill town is unlike any other neighborhood in Atlanta. That’s partially due to the historic nature of its shotgun and cottage-style homes, which originally housed workers at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill. But mostly, it’s due to Cabbagetown’s funky, artsy vibe and its strong sense of civic pride. “You’re not moving to Cabbagetown for a big house and garage,” says Chrissy Kallio, a Realtor and associate broker with Chrissy Kallio Group, who has sold houses in Cabbagetown for a decade. “There’s a great sense of community, and if you’re moving to Cabbagetown, that’s what you want.”
Welcome to Cabbagetown in Atlanta, GA.
Well-kept bungalows and shotgun homes are the norm in Cabbagetown.

Bungalows, shotgun houses and converted lofts
Most homes in Cabbagetown are small bungalows or shotgun houses priced between $500,000 and $700,000 with one or two bedrooms. Homes sit snuggly on small lots, and each house has its own charm. Interiors often feature well-preserved details like heart pine floors and original fireplace mantles and may feature renovations like finished attic spaces and lofts. “You have to make the most of what you have in those small footprints,” Kallio says. In addition to these single-family homes built in the early 1900s, the neighborhood has condos and apartment buildings at The Stacks on Boulevard Avenue and Fulton Cotton Mill, a converted mill complex dating to the late 1800s. “People love how the property has so much character. We have a lot of creatives, and the vibe here puts you in artist mode,” says Shanie Grayson, property manager at Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts.
Small colorful bungalows are typical of Cabbagetown.
Cabbagetown's history goes back to the Fulton Cotton Mill, which is now residential lofts.

Restrictions on renovating and building in Cabbagetown
Cabbagetown is a designated Landmark District, and residents strive to maintain its character. “I see the neighborhood is improving while still trying to preserve the historical side of it,” Grayson says. “There’s so much character around here.” As a result, residents and businesses must follow a comprehensive set of regulations when making improvements, including adhering to a structure’s original footprint. New homes must be built to strict architectural guidelines, so they blend in.

Locals don’t need to leave the neighborhood for a quick afternoon stroll at Cabbagetown Park, which has a playground and community center. For more extensive outdoor amenities, Grant Park is 1 mile south. The park has an outdoor pool, scenic walking trails, a playground and more facilities. It’s also home to Zoo Atlanta, which opened in 1889 and now has over 200 animal species.
