More and more Atlantans are starting to ”eat local” and every month it seems that there is a new neighborhood farmer’s market popping up. .

I think everyone would agree that the ”best of the best” is the Dekalb Farmer’s Market just outside of Downtown Decatur.  With food and wine from around the globe, it’s an experience just walking in the building!  The Dekalb market is open 7 days a week, similar to a typical grocery store.

If you would like to eat hyper-local, the new trend in many of the Intown Atlanta neighorhoods is to host their own Farmer’s Market.  Here are just a few…

*  Piedmont Park – every Saturday

*  East Atlanta – every Thursday

*  Glenwood Park (near East ATL Village and Ormewood Park) – Every other weekend

*  Morningside Farmers Market – every Saturday

*  East Lake – every Saturday

*  Decatur Organic Market – every Wednesday, March thru November

*  Peachtree Road Market (Buckhead) - every Saturday, April – December

 This weekend, try to get out, meet your neighbors and support your local farmers — it’s a great way to start the day!

Atlanta Victorian and Bungalow homes for Sale – Grant Park Atlanta Homes

Last weekend I toured some stunning new listings in Grant Park, one of the most popular “Intown” Atlanta neighborhoods.  One of my favorite things to do as a real estate professional is to tour historic homes, especially old Victorians and Craftsman bungalows.   

A few years ago, your average home buyer would not have been able to afford one of the gorgeous old homes on Cherokee that overlook Grant Park.   NOW there are several amazing deals, including this 4 bedroom / 3 full bath FULLY renovated home. 

The sellers have been transferred out of state and need to sell immediately.  The price is now just $419,900… priced $100,000 BELOW appraisal according to the listing agent.

The kitchen was beautifully remodeled by Saw Horse, one of the premiere renovation companies in Atlanta.  The master suite is spacious and the hardwoods really sparkle.  It’s hard not to fall in love with this home!
