East Lake

In 1898, a group of 65 men formed the Atlanta Athletic Club. The club soon realized the increased interest in golf, and in 1904, acquired property in the "suburbs" of Atlanta to create a country club and golf course. East Lake’s revitalization began in 1993 when a local charitable foundation purchased East Lake with the intent to restore it as a tribute to Bobby Jones and the club's other great amateur golfers.

Today, New homes commingle with older bungalows and Tudor cottages in this most Eastern of Atlanta's neighborhoods. Bounded by Oakhurst and Kirkwood communities, this small neighborhood is just minutes to downtown Decatur and Atlanta.
