Mechanicsville Atlanta
Mechanicsville is another neighborhood in the Southern section of Greater Atlanta. This one is also being revitalized. Many of the homes in this part of town are running between $100,000 and $250,000.
This section has been a part of Atlanta since the 1800′s. It was a prosperous area. It received this nickname when the railways were built through town. The area was unique in that it housed many skilled blue collar ‘colored folks’ especially African-Americans who secured numerous positions on the railways. There was also a strong populace of ‘Atlanta commuters’ who were more white-collar white folk fixed on bettering themselves.
When the new highways were put in during the 1940′s this was one of the areas that was very hard hit. Many homes were lost and many others fled due to the drastic increase in noise and car exhaust.
Since the 1990′s the neighborhood has been ‘revitalizing’. In fact, 10 years ago the locals devised a plan to renew their part of town.
