Cascade Avenue is an established residential community in Southwest Atlanta

Southwest Atlanta's Cascade Avenue neighborhood has roots that date back nearly a century. Its earliest homes are historic cottages and bungalows, and the John A. White Golf Course dates to the 1920s. The neighborhood remains predominantly residential today, offering quick access to acres of green space at John A. White Park and several locally owned restaurants along its primary thoroughfare. Its location near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and lower housing prices than the greater Atlanta metro area continue to draw prospective buyers.

Heading into downtown Atlanta

Cascade Avenue is mainly a car-dependent community, but MARTA buses shuttle across its main thoroughfare. Downtown Atlanta is about 5 miles east of the community, offering access to Interstates 85, 75 and 20, and Interstate 285 is accessible 4 miles west. Grady Memorial Hospital, the community’s nearest medical facility, is 5 miles away in downtown Atlanta. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about 10 miles south, increasing the community’s noise factor.
