What keeps us here? Most people comment on how friendly the folks around here are. People still sit on their porches and talk with neighbors. They say hello to strangers on the sidewalk. It's not like living in a big city, but yet we have some of Atlanta's best entertainment values around. Regardless of if you have a tattoo, purple hair, a pin stripe suit, or haven't cut your hair in 10 years, Candler Park residents are pretty apt to accept you as you are.

What's the best part about living here? I'd have to say it's never knowing what will happen tomorrow. To say that the area nurtures the eclectic is an understatement. The neighborhood seems to bring out the oddness in everyone. For some this means unusual art tastes, for some it is displaying modern art in the yard, for others it is painting that old Studebaker with 60's designs. Our houses come in all colors of the rainbow ..... including some that you will never find in Ace hardware (I suspect they would require a release form to mix some of our colors for exterior use). We have thriving restaurants, bars, and other small businesses ...... our own Zen Center .... several places to learn Tai Chi. What more could anyone want.

The homes in the area range from beautiful old 2 story Craftsman style homes to brand new houses. The houses themselves run the range from immaculately maintained and restored to seemingly abandoned. Prices have climbed a bit over the last several years as people began to discover this little commune we call home.
