Home For Sale in Jefferson Park – East Point GA

Jefferson Park is a community of about 2,400 residents that are all apart of the city of East Point GA ( population 35,000). The neighborhood has seen a population increase of 7.2% since 2010. The median age of its residents is 48 yrs young compared to 36 for the entire population of East Point. I think it is an amazing place to live, work and play.

Why I Love Jefferson Park and You Should Too!

Firstly, being a resident of this community myself, I would say that it is a very active community (for not having an HOA). Secondly, residents enjoy progressive potluck dinners, an annual Halloween Festival on Bryan Ave that draws thousands of children as well as their parents from all over greater Atlanta and other social gatherings throughout the year such as their annual Block Party. Some events are organized by the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association and others by residents themselves. Lastly, Tri-Cities High School with their award winning athletes and drama department is located in the lower SW section of the neighborhood.

Bordering Jefferson Park one can get a fantastic lunch at Rosies Cafe on Sylvan Rd or should you wish to partake in the current chicken sandwich war, feel free to stop by Popeye’s Chicken or Chick-fil-A, both on Cleveland Ave. I waited for 30 minutes to partake from the former only to be told they were out, flash forward a month later I finally got my chicken sandwich 😋. I know which one I like, you will have to decide for yourself. Church’s Chicken is also nearby.
