Around Fort McPherson
The community currently consists of modest single-family homes. The area’s long-term residents have maintained many properties in their original designs, but renovations and new constructions are becoming more common. Keep a look out for new housing developments at the former base, as this site is poised to see some great amenities in the near future.
Home prices are quite affordable in this redeveloped military community. Home values are expected to rise as new amenities and Tyler Perry’s film studio materialize. With accessibility to MARTA trains and the Beltline, the area could see major growth.
While the neighborhood doesn’t offer many restaurants, there are a few local spots on the north end. Stop into a local seafood joint or support the eateries in neighboring communities. For a special treat, hop on a train for a new culinary adventure downtown.
Find children selling cool beverages and treats near the community or street vendors setting up tents to sell their homemade products.

You will enjoy the culture of the makeshift flea markets and local makers selling products in the community. Street art certainly adds a splash of color to the industrial Fort McPherson’s setting. For a contemplative walk through the woods, locals head south to Connally Nature Park.
Residents of the community have access to several MARTA bus lines, and trains are accessible from Lakewood-Fort McPherson Transit Station.
