Candler-McAfee is a suburb less than 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta
Only 10 miles east of downtown Atlanta, Candler-McAfee is an unincorporated community with big-city proximity and a suburban lifestyle. “It’s made up of a bunch of different subdivisions, so you get a diverse housing stock and a wide variety of prices,” says Adrianna Berlin, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Metro Atlanta who has sold several homes in the area. “It’s a good area for people who need a quick commute to the city but also want a less busy environment.” Residents can also enjoy the soul food restaurants along Candler Road and the area’s numerous recreational facilities, including the nearby East Lake Golf Club.
Midcentury homes, renovated properties and New Traditional builds
Candler-McAfee’s winding roads and cul-de-sacs are lined with three-to-four-bedroom midcentury dwellings. Brick façade ranch styles in the Columbia Valley neighborhood have carports, picture windows and flat roofs. Split levels in the Spring Valley community feature two-car garages and half-acre lots. “The older homes have good bones, but people are renovating them to look more contemporary,” says Berlin. “We’re slowly starting to see ranch styles transform into that white-paint, modern farmhouse style of house.” Homebuyers will also find homes built within the last five years. For instance, the Preston Park subdivision has Craftsman-style bungalows and Federal houses. A home in Candler-McAfee typically costs between $250,000 and $500,000, a range similar to a Decatur home’s average $300,000 selling price.
The Candler-McAfee neighborhood features affordable homes with generous yards and tree-lined streets.
Housing in Candler-McAfee ranges from classic brick ranches to updated modern designs.

Candler-McAfee has fishing, hiking and East Lake Golf Club proximity
Candler-McAfee is home to several community hubs, making it easy for residents to find entertainment mere minutes from their front door. Children can run around the playgrounds at Longdale Park, and anglers can catch largemouth bass at Barker Bryant Memorial Park’s fishing pier. With tennis courts outside and basketball courts inside, N.H. Scott Recreation Center on Tilson Road is a hot spot for athletes. Shoal Creek Park has even more sports facilities and an extensive nature trail system spanning 75 acres. The dirt paths pass the green space’s namesake stream and mature hardwood trees. Locals can take weekly line dancing classes or participate in painting sessions at the Scott Candler Library. Founded in 1908, East Lake Golf Club is Atlanta’s oldest golf course, and it’s less than 3 miles from the community. Donald Ross designed the 18-hole course, and it currently hosts the PGA Tour Championship every year. “This is the most prestigious golf course in the city, so living near it is incredibly desirable,” says Berlin.
Candler-McAfee offers relaxing fishing opportunities at local spots like Baker Bryant Memorial Park.
East Lake Golf Club in Candler-McAfee features 18 holes of championship-level golfing.

Candler Road is brimming with soul food eateries and chain restaurants
Candler Road stretches across the community’s core, offering amenities like a Food Value grocery store, Walgreens and a few restaurants. Besides nationally known chains like McDonald’s and Red Lobster, residents will find locally owned options like Gutbusters. The fast-casual spot is known for its Philly cheese steaks and hoagies. Seafood lovers should stop by TA New Orleans to devour fried shrimp and Old Bay-seasoned crab or buy fish to make at home. Located in the Valero gas station parking lot, Twerk Chicken is a colorful bodega serving wing baskets, tacos and French fries drizzled in housemade barbecue sauce. Grocery shoppers can grab even more essentials at the Walmart Supercenter on Flat Shoals Road. Retailers like Target, Marshalls and Petco are only 7 miles west in the Edgewood Retail District.
Gutbusters in Candler-McAfee is a local favorite for hearty Southern-style breakfasts with generous portions and quick service.

Interstate 20 makes for an easy commute
“This area isn’t walkable. You need a car to get around, but Interstate 20 is right there, and that makes it a very convenient location,” says Berlin. Interstate 20 is in Candler-McAfee’s southern region, and a 10-mile drive west leads to downtown Atlanta. Bus riders will find several Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority stops along the area’s namesake roads.
I-20 provides Candler-McAfee residents with quick access to downtown Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Candler-McAfee offers convenient access to MARTA stations and multiple bus stops for easy commuting.
