About East Atlanta

East Atlanta has carved out a distinct identity as one of Atlanta’s most creative and eclectic neighborhoods. Centered around East Atlanta Village (EAV)—a walkable strip of locally-owned bars, restaurants, and shops—the area attracts residents who value authenticity over polish.

The neighborhood developed in the early 1900s as a streetcar suburb and retains many original Craftsman bungalows. Unlike more gentrified areas, East Atlanta has maintained its artistic, independent character.
