Kirkwood is situated entirely in DeKalb County, bordered by the neighborhoods of Lake Claire, East Lake, Edgewood, and Oakhurst. Kirkwood is bound on the north by DeKalb Avenue, on the south by Memorial Drive and Interstate 20, on the west by Montgomery Street, and on the east by 1st Ave.

Today, Downtown Kirkwood has become what neighbors call “the small town in the big city,” hosting its own post office, newly constructed fire station, police precinct and public library.

One of the best things about Kirkwood is its location. Kirkwood is just 4 miles from downtown Atlanta. We’re also surrounded by fun areas filled with shopping and restaurant that include downtown Decatur, Little 5 Points, Candler Park, East Atlanta, and Virginia-Highland.

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