One of the best things about Kirkwood is its location. Kirkwood is just 5 miles from downtown Atlanta. We’re surrounded by fun areas filled with shopping and restaurant such as downtown Decatur, Little 5 Points, Candler Park, East Atlanta and Virginia-Highland.

Kirkwood is also convenient to the airport; universities including Emory, Georgia State and Georgia Tech; and interstates including I-20 and the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85). Best of all, we’re on the MARTA east rail line, with a station right here in Kirkwood (East Lake Station).

Kirkwood lies between DeKalb Avenue on the north, Rogers Street/Montgomery Street on the west, Memorial Drive on the south and Mellrich Avenue/Winter Avenue on the east. Kirkwood is located in both the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County. Most of our services, including schools, water and garbage are provided by the city. Services we receive from the county include animal control and health services.

Kirkwood is also home to many churches. Turner Monumental AME and Israel Baptist are two of our larger congregations.
