What makes Oakland a historic and vibrant place to live
Oakland is home to Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta's oldest public burial ground, dating back to 1850. It doubles as a park, making it easy to squeeze in a jog before heading to the nearby MARTA transit station and commuting to Downtown Atlanta, less than 2 miles west. After work, Memorial Drive has plenty of options for dinner and drinks, from fish houses to burger joints. The neighborhood is also close to Grant Park, another longstanding green space, and the Atlanta Beltline, a citywide trail network. With all this nearby, Oakland balances historic charm with the vibrant energy of city living.
How home prices compare to nearby neighborhoods
Oakland has a lot of apartment complexes, along with some cottages and bungalows from the early 20th century. Houses typically sit on compact lots, and street parking is common. The median sale price here is around $480,000, slightly higher than Atlanta’s median of about $425,000. However, that’s significantly lower than what you’ll find in nearby neighborhoods like Cabbagetown, Virginia Highland and Reynoldstown. Prices here usually range from the lower $400,000s to the lower $1 millions, depending on the home’s age, size and condition.

Things you can see and do at Oakland Cemetery
Oakland Cemetery covers nearly 50 acres on the neighborhood's north side and is a popular place for locals to walk and jog. As you explore the grounds, you’ll come across:
Century-old magnolia and oak trees, as well as ornamental gardens filled with azaleas and lilies
Burial sites of famous Georgians, including Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone with the Wind," and Bobby Jones, co-founder of the Masters Tournament
Statuary, including angels, Celtic crosses and the iconic Weeping Woman
Mausoleums showcasing architectural styles like Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and Egyptian Revival
The cemetery also hosts several events throughout the year, including Capturing the Spirit of Oakland during the Halloween season. “They have actors portray notable people buried in the cemetery,” says Jon Monnier, a Realtor with Adams Realtors who has sold several homes in the neighborhood. “It’s great for kids because they actually learn a lot.”

Where to go out to eat on Memorial Drive
Memorial Drive borders Oakland Cemetery, with a handful of restaurants in former industrial buildings. “There has been some awesome development there, so it’s pretty trendy,” Monnier says. Some favorites include:
Six Feet Under, a pub and fish house with rooftop seating
Ria’s Bluebird, an all-day brunch spot known for its caramelized banana pancakes
Grindhouse, a local burger chain that regularly has trivia nights
Grant Park Market, a specialty grocery store with a deli that’s open for breakfast and lunch

Public schools and a local private option
Oakland is zoned for Atlanta Public Schools. Kids can attend Parkside Elementary School, Martin Luther King Middle School and Maynard Holbrook Jackson High School, which are all in Grant Park.
