"Oh, Atlanta / I hear you calling / I'm coming back to you one fine day" - Alison Krauss

Gresham Park may not be actually inside of Atlanta (sorry, Alison), but it is a city just outside Atlanta, Georgia, with a population of around 7,432. That might sound like a small town but, in fact, it's actually a suburb of Atlanta, meaning it has a real big-city kind of feel to it. You'll find lots of small subdivisions here, alongside high-rise apartment complexes and smaller apartment buildings. There are quite a few rental properties so you shouldn't have much trouble finding apartments for rent in this town, whether you're moving close to I-20 and East Atlanta or further out in the town near The Perimeter Highway.

What You'll Need

Before you start your hunt, try to familiarize yourself with the layout of the city and the different neighborhoods. Once you get a feel for the town itself, you can make appointments in different neighborhoods to see what's available and what prices are like in different sections. When you go to meet a prospective landlord, have all your paperwork ready to go so you don't have to shuffle around trying to track things down at the last minute! Generally, you're going to need a copy of your ID, your credit report, bank statements, letter of employment, pay stubs, references and your rental application.

Neighborhoods

Gresham Park is a tiny place only covering a few miles of land outside Atlanta. With just over 7,000 residents, it's a pretty small and tight-knit community! There are two distinct areas, however, that are mostly defined by their distance from East Atlanta. Here's a little more info about them!

North Gresham Park: Living on the northern side of town means you're sandwiched up against East Atlanta and a little closer to the center of the action. It's made up of mostly medium-size, single-family homes and townhouses and is mainly owner-occupied. A lot of the homes here were built in the mid-1900s so there are some big, beautiful brick and stone buildings. Most residents drive to work and commute 15 to 30 minutes into the city.

South Gresham Park: This area stretches down away from the city and includes the beautiful Gresham Park itself, a small but pretty park where residents come to relax. It's easier to score a rental property here and you're also close to I-285, which means that even though you're a little further from the city, it's super quick and easy to get to when you want to go.

Living in Gresham

There's plenty of fun to be had in Gresham Park! If you're hungry for a bite, head to one of the great local restaurants, like the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant or The Earl, which is closer to East Atlanta. You can relax or get your daily jog in at Mark Trail Park on the north side of town. For your shopping needs, there's a Walmart Supercenter near Tilson Road and a Kroger's and Macy's, too! On a nice night, head to the Starlight Six Drive-In Movie Theater for some old-fashioned fun!
