With so many new developments going up in metro Atlanta area there is one development that is leap and bounds over the competition.  Move over Atlantic Station, here comes Glenwood Park!   What makes Glenwood Park better?  The quality of construction and actually the people that own and live there.  Glenwood Park is like a smaller version of Atlantic Station with shops and restaurants.  What I love about Glenwood Park is the style of homes that they have, the best way that I can explain it is when you are watching a movie and there is a scene with the people walking down a tree lined street and the houses look super cool and are all close together, I always think to myself what a cool neighborhood to live in.  That’s what Glenwood Park reminds me of. 

The neighboorhood is comprised of single family homes, townhomes and condos.  All of the buildings and homes are very pleasing to the eyes, they remind me of  homes from Savannah or Charlestown.  Lately, you see developers building those same cookie cutter homes, but everything at Glenwood Park is just so unique from one another.  Everytime I go for walk over there I never get bored because looking at the homes are impressive enough to keep you busy.

I have to give a round of applause to Green Street Properties who is the development company of Glenwood Park.   They really came together and created a really cool environment to live in.  The best thing about them is that they listen to any complaints that the owners have with the neighborhood and they seem to care enough to improve the community as a whole. 

Glenwood Park is still being developed but it looks like they are close to finishing up.  There are plenty of retail spaces available as well if anyone is looking to open a business there.   I think they are being kind of picky of what kind of retail that goes in , so far it all has been mom and pop type of places, which is pretty cool I think.  So far the business that are located in Glenwood Park are Vickerys Bar and Grill, Vino Libro a wine bar, Perk Coffee Shop, Soda Salon, a 24 hour Gym, and soon a new restaurant called The Shed will be opening up. 

Glenwood Park is located about a mile to the Village of East Atlanta, access to I-20 is a block away and it is only 2 miles to get over to the Edgewood Shopping District where you can find all the mainstream retailers including Target, Best Buy, Lowes, Kroger and more. 

For what you get over at Glenwod Park the pricing on the condos are not pricey at all.  They are currently selling 8 brand new condos that overlook the community swimming pool, those are priced from $189,000 to $257,000.    Personally, I think you if you are looking for a walkable community to live in and are looking for an alternative to living in Midtown, Glenwood Park might be the best option.  I also really like the Kirkwood area, in my next post I will write about the condos over there.

Oh, they also have a dog park sponsored by Wag-a-lot(there is a fee if you want to use the park). A community swimming pool and a park for adults and kids
