Message: [QUOTE="3rdbass, post: 2601390, member: 898"] Things have changed drastically in Edgewood/kirkwood area. I have never had an issue of a break-in in my house or my car. I have my car outside sometimes on the road and it is very nice one and haven’t had an issue. Of course I never leave anything in it of value in plain sight. We only have a one lane driveway so sometimes it is easier if one of us parks on the road. The only thing we ever had stolen was a bag of mulch that was in the front yard. lol. My street is pretty quiet and either has nice older residents or younger couples or families. I know it can depend on the street as their is sextion 8 apartment complex less than half a mile away that has shootings and Petty theft around there. Edgewood/kirkwood really transitioned in the last 5 years from a drug ridden Mecca to nice quiet gentrified area. They are building a huge upscale apartment complex at the Marta train station with a small park, restaurant and shops. Also, townhomes are going up like crazy between 500 to 600k all around that area just down the street. I think east Atlanta is the last area on the east side that is still hit or miss as far as safety. We still live in the city so of course we have to be smart about our surroundings. I just feel pretty safe walking around here to Coan Park, downtown kirkwood, little five points or even the new section of the eastside beltline. [/QUOTE]
