Forest Park: Atlanta’s Southern Side

Forest Park is well within the ‘Greater Atlanta Highway Loop’.  This area has its own small municipal governing system.  This is the first neighborhood we’re looking at that is definitively in the Southern side. 

Amongst other qualities, Forest Park has its own public parks.  They do bother to arrange for free-to-the-public events.  Freebies, as we all know, come as a great relief to those who pay and pay, regardless of ones level of means.

For some, this is unwished for.  For others, Forest Park is the land of hope.  If the idea of paying $300,000 for a home makes your hair stand on end, then you have a chance to find a much cheaper place in Forest Park.  One of the forms of home in the area is what used to be called ‘trailer parks’. 

Nowadays, the attitude is more one of accepting that these are not and never will be used as trailers.  They are homes.  The difference is that they were factory built, and then shipped out to sites.  They are very humble, and quite simple.  They are also affordable to many who would otherwise have no choice but multiple residence dwellings such as apartment, duplex or townhouse.  Prices range from as little as $17,000 to along the lines of $55,000.  The good news is that you will not be forced to rent against your will.

Freshly manufactured, well tended parks often offer community playgrounds and swimming pools.  There are also well wooded lots.  There is a lot of potential for high quality, inexpensive living for many in these subdivisions.

Nearby, the city’s best auto racing is also accessible.
