Atlanta Neighborhood Among Best in Country: News Nearby

A real estate firm has named a neighborhood in Atlanta as one of its most sought-after addresses for folks looking to move during the new year.

Redfin’s Hottest Neighborhoods of 2015 has put East Atlanta in the third spot overall, besting neighborhoods in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle. Redfin says that home buyers will be looking for compromise in 2015, and East Atlanta allows residents to get the city experience without paying city prices.

“East Atlanta is exploding with interest from millennials and empty nesters alike because of the trendy restaurants, bars and boutiques that can be found around East Atlanta Village,” real estate agent Jeff Fassinger told Redfin.

Redfin data suggests that a home on the market in East Atlanta will cost around $211,000 and will spend around 35 days on the market before it’s sold.

According to Redfin, the next most popular neighborhoods in Atlanta are Morningside-Virginia Highland, East Lake, Dunwoody Club Forest, and Towne Lake.
