Avondale Estates is a progressive and evolving city eight miles east of downtown Atlanta. Nearing 4,000 residents and growing, the 1.23 square mile city is treasured for its beautiful historic neighborhoods, rolling landscapes, signature parks, and engaged and committed citizenry passionate about their hometown. The downtown is on the verge of a significant transformation with a new signature urban town green, a reimagined main street currently converting from a five-lane highway to three lanes with a multi-use path and landscaping, and a new street grid to provide for enhanced connectivity and walkability. The city, in partnership with the Downtown Development Authority, has bold and impressive plans to build on the city’s reputation as a place for excellent craft beer–named Best Small-Town Beer Scene by USA Today four out of the past five years–and to attract unique and high-quality food, entertainment and businesses to enhance the city’s current economy.
