I thought I would start writing about each neighborhood in Intown Atlanta for those who are not familiar with Atlanta’s Intown Neighborhoods.  So, as my first post, I thought it would be appropriate to write about my favorite neighborhood, Cabbagetown!  Let’s start with the basics, location.  Cabbagetown is located directly east of downtown Atlanta, which is about a 5 minute drive into Midtown/Downtown Atlanta.  It is easily accessible via highway I-20 which dumps into 75/85.  It is bordered between Boulevard/Memorial/and Dekalb avenue. 

What is the vibe of Cabbagetown?  Well, I think most people consider it to be kind of quirky but yet swanky.   It’s a neighborhood that you would feel comfortable going outside and not being frighten that one of your neighbors would see you without your makeup, because chances are they aren’t wearing make up either!  It’s a very laid back feel and I think that is why I like it, I can get away with wearing a wrinkly shirt and noone cares.

What’s in Cabbagetown?  Just like every intown neighborhood in Atlanta, Cabbagetown also has their own little strip of restaurants and shops.  Probably the most well known restaurant is Agave, which serves the best Medallions and has been voted #1 in Creative Loafing for their Margaritas, which I would have to agree with!  Next up is Carroll Street Cafe, which is probably more known for their breakfast and lunch but they have started serving Tapas for dinner.  Good food as well and great Coffee, although they stopped serving the little Mint squares with the coffee, so that is a bit upsetting.  SAD FACE.   Then, there is Milltown Arms, a cool little bar/restaurant.  Trivia night at Milltown is kind of entertaining and again they also have really good food!  There is also a little corner grocery store, called the Cabbagetown Market, they are  probably most well known for having RAW Milk!  They also serve food as well.  I went there one day and to my surprise they were filming the show Diners, Dives and Drive Ins with Guy Fieri on the Food Network, so I was super psyched because they got me on tape talking about the Quail on a Waffle that they serve there, so for the past 3 months I have TIvo’d all of the shows but sadly I think I ended up on the cutting room floor.  ANOTHER SAD FACE

What about the homes in Cabbagetown?  Well, Cabbagetown has an array of different style homes but they are pretty well known for having Shotgun Style Homes and if you are not familiar with the Shotgun style, it is a home that is very long and narrow.  From the front view of the homes you would think that they are pretty tiny homes but once inside they are actually pretty spacious.  Most of these homes were built in the early 1900’s but I would say about 80% of them have undergone major renovations.  There also a few brand new homes nestled in as well.  Sadly, the tornado that came through a few months ago damaged quite a few homes in Cabbagetown, but the spirit of the community have really come together to support one another and are helping to rebuild these homes.  

Pricing for Cabbagetown Homes are starting around $250,000 for a 2/2.  There is not alot for sale in Cabbagetown right now but feel free to browse my website to see what is available or you can just click here.
