Why musicians and artists move to Cabbagetown
People first began moving to Cabbagetown in the late 1800s to work at the area’s textile mills. Today, those factories have been converted into lofts, and many of the original homes still stand, now painted in shades of pink, blue and green. The neighborhood has slowly evolved from its industrial roots into a haven for musicians, artists and other creative types, with a popular bluegrass festival every year and murals covering buildings, fences and retaining walls. And while Cabbagetown is just 2 miles east of Downtown Atlanta, its dive bars, quirky recreation spaces and residents with a strong sense of local pride make it feel worlds away from city life.
Live music is part of the annual Chomp and Stomp festival in Cabbagetown.

House styles and what they cost
Along Cabbagetown’s narrow streets, you’ll find bungalows and shotgun-style homes, with some dating back to the early 1900s and others built in the early 2000s. Many of these houses sit on compact lots decorated with sculptures, wind chimes and strands of twinkle lights. “A lot of artists have lived here for decades, so their yards are basically a living gallery of a bunch of the stuff they’ve made,” says Carolyn Githieya, a real estate agent with Keller Williams West Atlanta who has sold several homes in the area. The median sale price in Cabbagetown is around $410,000, which is slightly lower than Atlanta's median of about $425,000. Older homes typically cost between the lower $300,000s and the mid-$700,000s, while newer homes usually fall somewhere in the $800,000s.
Colorful homes contribute to Cabbagetown’s distinctive streetscape.
Bungalows and shotgun homes are common throughout Cabbagetown.

How community groups support Cabbagetown
Cabbagetown is supported by two community groups that are optional to join. The Cabbagetown Neighborhood Improvement Association meets monthly to talk through zoning, budgeting and traffic issues, while the Cabbagetown Initiative focuses more on the social side of things. It hosts a wide variety of events, including:
Chomp & Stomp, a chili cook-off and bluegrass music festival held at Cabbagetown Park
Forward Warrior, an art festival that brings painters together to refresh murals along Wylie Street
Words on Wylie, a spoken word poetry festival inspired by the neighborhood’s murals
Cabbagetown Concert Series, a monthly lineup of live music at the local community center or the amphitheater
All these events are part of what makes Cabbagetown feel so close-knit. “It’s the kind of place where neighbors sit on each other’s porches at night and have a few drinks together,” Githieya says.
Chomp and Stomp brings chili tasting and community activities to Cabbagetown each year.
Local teams participate in the annual chili competition at Chomp and Stomp.

Restaurants and convenience stores on Carroll Street
Carroll Street is a hub of local businesses on the neighborhood’s west side. One of the most popular restaurants is Carroll Street Café, where you can sip coffee in the morning and get a cocktail at night. “The café is a classic neighborhood hangout,” Githieya says. “The bartenders and baristas will know your name, and you’ll see the same regulars every night.” A few doors down, Little’s Food Store sells a handful of groceries and serves burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. For bigger errands, a Kroger and a Publix are both less than 2 miles away.

Easy access to the Beltline and Oakland Cemetery
Cabbagetown has plenty of great places to walk, jog and ride bikes. You can hop on the Beltline’s Eastside Trail at the graffiti-covered Krog Street Tunnel, which makes it easy to reach Inman Park's restaurants and Old Fourth Ward's recreation spaces. On the neighborhood’s west side, the 48-acre Oakland Cemetery offers walking paths shaded by mature magnolia trees and surrounded by burial sites dating back to 1850. “There aren’t many burials there these days, and even though it sounds a little weird, people in Cabbagetown treat it like a park,” Githieya says. Aside from being a popular dog-walking spot, the cemetery hosts a wide variety of events, like:
Sunday in the Park, which includes food trucks, live music and a Victorian-era costume contest
Illumine, when visitors can wander the grounds at night as light installations glow across mausoleums and bell towers
Summer camps for kids, with programs that cover everything from gardening to engineering
Cabbagetown Park provides open space for recreation and outdoor activities.
The Eastside Beltline Trail links Cabbagetown with nearby Atlanta neighborhoods.

Getting to Downtown Atlanta
Most homes are less than a mile and a half away from King Memorial Transit Station, which serves the Blue and Green Lines. From there, trains reach Downtown Atlanta in under 10 minutes. Buses also run through the neighborhood, so a lot of locals prefer getting around without a car. “There’s really only street parking in the neighborhood, so once someone loses a good spot, it can be hard to get it back,” Githieya says.
Public schools and nearby private options
Atlanta Public Schools serve the neighborhood, and kids can attend Parkside Elementary School and Maynard Holbrook Jackson High School. Several private options are less than 5 miles away, including Cristo Rey High School in Peachtree Center and Braddy Preparatory Academy in Downtown Atlanta.
Parkside Elementary School is part of the public school options serving Cabbagetown.
