Atlanta streetcar roots with a modern flare
Established as an east Atlanta streetcar suburb in the 1870s, Kirkwood combines modern entertainment and culture with century-old prestige. The neighborhood appears on the National Register of Historic Places for its small businesses and Craftsman homes. Lively events, celebrated restaurants and a strong presence of the film and music industry all add to the community’s modern identity. “It’s a trendy neighborhood that invites all ages. It’s very diverse. It represents Atlanta well,” says Tom Atkinson, a Realtor with Keller Knapp Realty, who has been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. “You’ll see people out pushing strollers, walking their dogs and jogging. It’s vibrant and growing.”

Kirkwood’s signature Craftsman bungalows
Brightly painted Craftsman bungalows are the dominant style in Kirkwood, alongside 20th-century American Foursquare, Colonial Revival and Cape Cod-style properties. “People know it for the bright colors, because people that are into art or the film industry gravitate there, and they lean a little more creative. The architecture reflects that,” says Adrianna Angelone, a broker with EAH Brokerage with over 20 years of real estate experience. Homes of all styles sit behind privacy hedges or picket fences surrounding large, tree-filled front yards lined with sidewalks. A bungalow can cost between $400,000 and $750,000, while family homes over 2,500 square feet range from $700,000 to $1.3 million. The neighborhood also has townhomes, condos and converted lofts. Condo units are priced between $200,000 and $500,000, and townhomes cost between $400,000 and $700,000. Kirkwood has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 4 out of 10, which matches the national average.

I grew up in kirkwood and I have changed with it. I didn't allow gentrification to push me out of the neighborhood like it did for other black residents. I like the changes made to Kirkwood, but I wish people from the suburbs would stop trying to make it into a suburb. It is a city neighborhood and residents shouldn't expect it to shut down and become quiet by 8pm every night. Let the night life live through out kirkwood the way it always has.

Kirkwood is a great neighborhood for families, and very walkable, but not a ton of restaurants and things to do in walking proximity.

I find it funny whenever I read how "diverse" Kirkwood is. Perhaps 10 years ago, it may have been so, however over the past five years, it has become predominantly white. just Google a photo of the neighborhood business association, which is an obvious indication of the lack of inclusion, people of color have in this neighborhood. The price of real estate has gone through the roof and just plain ridiculous. It's saving grace is its location and convenience all the Atlanta has to offer.
