Perkerson is an established neighborhood in southern Atlanta, tucked into a bend of two of the city's busiest highways. Interstates 85 and 75 connect the micro-community with downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Perkerson's comparably low housing prices and proximity to popular Atlanta communities are some of its biggest draws.
Most houses in Perkerson were built between the 1950s and '80s, but several date back to before 1950. "The housing stock is older here, but much of it is in good shape," says Realtor Juli St George of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta. She's sold homes across the city for over a decade. "And people like it because the land lots are large." You will mainly find ranch-style homes, cottages and bungalows that measure 1,000 to 2,000 square feet and have at least two bedrooms. While garages are rare, most homes have attached carports that typically fit one car. Homes generally sell from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $300,000s. The community doesn't have many sidewalks, but locals still enjoy occasional walks and bike rides. The neighborhood is lined with towering pines and maples that partially shade most of the streets.
Perkerson is zoned for the Atlanta Public Schools system. The district allows four different types of school transfers: general administrative transfers, transfers for children of APS employees, mid-year transfers and hardship transfers. The general administrative transfer allows students to apply to any school with available space. Students often attend South Atlanta High School, the home boundary school assigned to the area.
Brookdale Park is one of the nearest parks. It has tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground and a paved path. Perkerson Park spans about 50 acres, 2 miles north of the neighborhood. It has several sports facilities, including tennis courts, baseball fields and a disc golf course. The park also has a playground and a splash pad. The Lakewood Amphitheater, located about 2 miles away, is one of Atlanta's largest dedicated concert venues and hosts shows throughout the year.
Residents typically head to the stores on Cleveland Avenue for shopping. A Kroger shares a shopping center with other retailers, including Rainbow and Dollar Tree. If locals aren't shopping for their groceries at Kroger, they're likely shopping at the Walmart Supercenter in Cleveland Avenue Crossing. Cleveland Avenue also has a mix of fast-food and locally owned restaurants. Ikhla's Seafood and Pastries is known for its hand-battered, fried fish platters with sides like okra and hushpuppies, and Walter's Soul Food Café serves beef brisket and barbecue ribs. Popeye's, Burger King and Papa John's are a few nearby fast-food spots.
Perkerson offers easy access to Interstates 75 and 85, which lead to downtown Atlanta about 7 miles away. The highways also connect the neighborhood with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, about 5 miles south. "With the airport adjacent to the community and the highways so close, residents can navigate the city effortlessly," St. George says. "They can hit downtown Atlanta, College Park and downtown Hapeville MARTA buses shuttle across Springdale Road, but locals typically rely on cars to get around." With its location near the highways and the airport, the area is susceptible to noise pollution.
