Those of us who live and work here already knew how unique and cool our East Side neighborhoods are - and now, so does the rest of Metro Atlanta. In Creative Loafing's "Ultimate Neighborhood Guide," Clarkston ranked very high in several categories, when compared with Metro Atlanta's most prominent neighborhoods - and Clarkston won the special honor of "Best Neighborhood for Affordability." According to Creative Loafing:
"On the surface, quaint and rural Clarkston feels more like Main Street USA than suburban Atlanta. But over the past few years, the east DeKalb enclave has become something of a post-hipster nesting place - or, as one resident described it, "a punk rock retirement village."
The neighborhood guide also looked at Clarkston's incredible ethnic diversity (with residents from all over the world, Clarkston is one of the most diverse communities in the nation), low crime rates (less than half the rate of many in-town neighborhoods), and ridiculously affordable housing options.
So, congratulations to Clarkston for being such a cool place to live, and thanks to Creative Loafing for noticing!
