A forested suburb near downtown Atlanta
Small, suburban Chalet Woods is surrounded by trees that give meaning to its name. Realtor LaTonya Dasher of Latlin Bevsho Realty Inc. says the neighborhood's proximity to two popular parks is one of the biggest draws. As she puts it, both are just a stone's throw away. "Literally, you can toss a rock, and you don't have to put any force behind it," she says. Dasher, who's sold homes in Atlanta for seven years, adds that the neighborhood's vintage ranch-style homes and walkability are appealing. Residents are a stroll away from beloved soul food restaurants, St Paul's Episcopal Church and the local elementary school. Living less than 8 miles from downtown Atlanta, they can also get to city highlights — like Atlantic Station — on a whim.

Sturdy, brick ranch-styles in Chalet Woods
Chalet Woods is tiny, with just seven streets, half of which end in cul de sacs. Naturally, there's a limited number of houses and not many for sale at any given time. Brick ranch styles and split levels built in the 1960s peak from behind the greenery. Many settle on spacious lawns of nearly half an acre. Homebuyers can also find a few new homes built in a modern farmhouse style.
Established homes in Chalet Woods typically range from the low to mid $200,000s to $300,000s. Dasher mentions it would cost someone twice as much to build them today. "Especially with those large columned [entrances], the four-sided brick and full basements," she says. New construction in Chalet Woods heads into the upper $500,000s.
Traditional brick homes set back on large lots are common in the Chalet Woods area.

Hiking and biking at Hampton-Beecher Nature Preserve
The Lionel Hampton Trail is just east of Chalet Woods, connecting locals to the 54-acre Hampton-Beecher Nature Preserve. The preserve’s partly-paved 4-mile trail system loops through rich forest crossed by Civil War trenches and streams. Wild strawberries and mushrooms sprinkle the grounds, and deer jump between trees. The trails connect to the Atlanta Beltline Westside Trail, which loops around the city’s neighborhoods, spanning 22 miles. Isabel Gates Webster Park is just north, offering outdoor fitness stations, a soccer field, a tennis court and a playground. The 125-acre Cascade Springs Nature Preserve is less than 3 miles away for more trails weaving through old growth trees, around artisanal streams and 250-million-year-old rocks.

Celebrating local in Chalet Woods
Seeing friends at local restaurants is an everyday experience here. "There are certain [restaurants] that have been over there for so long that you just run into people," says Candice Hayes, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta who's sold homes for six years. The closest local spots to grab a bite are A1 Soulfood and Cafe Buffalo Wing, just north, on Martin Luther King Junior Drive Southwest (MLK Jr. Dr. SW). Dollar Tree, fast food chains and local shops, including Bargain Wholesale, also line this road. Wayfield Foods Inc. is a mile and a half west for groceries. Less than 3 miles south, The Beautiful Restaurant is a popular meat and three that serves Southern classics. "It has that same style of food since 1979," Dasher says. "They still use regular old school sugar, and even in their vegetables and the way they make their mac and cheese, it's really original."
Dasher adds that locals can get to MLK Jr. Dr. SW on foot in minutes. The Atlantic Station mall, with over 50 stores and restaurants, is 10 miles away.
