In the past two decades, this neighborhood has improved in so many ways thanks to the dedicated efforts of the East Atlanta Community Association which was formed in 1981. If you see see EAV stickers all over the place and wonder what it's all about, it's just proud residents showing off their sense of community.

There are many reasons why East Atlanta makes for the best location for a visitor. First of foremost, among these reasons is the convenience factor. Not only is it so close to downtown Atlanta but it allows you access to the heart via uncongested streets. They have all the conveniences a tourist is looking for including live music at three different venues every single night, wonderful restaurants that serve everything from Thai and continental to fast food and vegan dishes and some really nice clothing, accessories and art stores that you can shop at.

Most weekends find the community busy with activities that build neighborly bonds - they could be planting trees, cleaning the neighborhood, raising funds for better facilities or just plain socializing.

Some parts of the year are extra fun in this neighborhood when the 'East Atlantans' celebrate such events as the yearly neighborhood festival named the 'East Atlanta Strut,' the East Atlanta Beer Festival, the Brownwood Park Bike Rally etc.

All of these reasons and more have also resulted in a steady rise in the price of real estate in this neighborhood which is increasingly being looked upon as a model community.
