East View: Another Southside Alternative
Today we’ll take another look at the area South of Atlanta but still within the ‘Outer Loop’ and therefore within the ‘Greater Atlanta’ boundary. Just 5 miles South of downtown Atlanta there lies a place called East View.
Here there is a healthy housing market. There is a sense of renewal here as the community recreates itself as a safe haven for social liberals who are living wholesome, but alternative lifestyles. Most of the people moving into East View have bought in an effort to increase the value of the home and to make it an asset to themselves. Most of the homes changing hands in this part of the South side are in fact ‘fixxer uppers’.
As well as the good attitude often found in those who buy this type of place, there is another special feature. When people work on their homes in these often highly emotional labors of love, they develop what can only be described as intimacy with the place. They are often the first people since the builder’s to get in there and work on these homes, but because they live there, there is no possibilty for running away from either the good or the bad. There is no doubt about it; working on a home you live in will cause a sense of intimacy and realism about your domicile like nothing else can.
