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.”

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.
