"Polar Rock Community is a new and upcoming community"
I moved to Polar Rock in 2018 as the community is very quiet and family-friendly. The community itself looks out for one another and are willing to assist in the time of need. It is a very walkable, running, biking, nature preserve, safe, and cost-friendly neighborhood. The community does have an active neighborhood association and community watch program. Polar Rock is at a convenient location as it is 6 minutes from the Airport and Downtown Atlanta as the Atlanta Beltline, Browns Mills Golf Course, East Atlanta Village, and Pittsburgh Yards are minutes away as well. The community itself is being revitalized with new construction and also upgrading old homes to new standards. If you are looking for a cost-friendly, city-suburb vibe, walkable, safe, public transportation, and easily accessible community; then Polar Rock is it!

"Affordable historic homes"
The Polar Rock neighborhood is a tiny neighborhood located in Southwest Atlanta. It is not too far from the West End. The area is pretty small stretching over approximately .5 square miles in total. It is just minutes from Interstate 75/85. Nearby streets are Lakewood Ave SW and Pryor Rd SW. Polar Rock is essentially, yet another Atlanta neighborhood that is in transition.
Many of the homes are larger historic structures that were built in around the 1930’s. A lot of developments have recently poured into renovations to bring this neighborhood back to life. I would actually say this is one of the better neighborhoods in this area. Eager first-time home buyers might consider Polar Rock an option, because cost of living is super affordable. Houses in this neighborhood are currently going anywhere from around $20K to about 60K. So, you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank.
This neighborhood is Marta accessible, which is great if you don’t mind catching public transportation. Atlanta Metropolitan College and Atlanta Technical College are close-by (only about 1 mile away). The Atlanta University Center (AUC) is not too far either. The restaurants in this area are pretty average, and include a Wendy’s, Captain D’s, and Burger King along with a couple of nice diners. The only drawback to this area is that it isn’t the the most safe option.
