Two universities, Oglethorpe and Georgia State, are nearby, and Ashford Park Elementary is in the heart of the neighborhood. A three-acre county park features a multi-use field, basketball court, tennis courts, a playground and picnic area. Downtown is easily accessible via Interstate 85 or a nearby MARTA transit station.
