Why Cascade

Four reasons people move here

Close to everything

About five miles from Mercedes-Benz Stadium and a short drive to Hartsfield-Jackson. Cascade Road runs straight out to I-285.

Green on every side

A 120-acre nature preserve, the 150-acre Adams Park and two public golf courses. The tree canopy is the second densest in the city.

A registered historic district

The commercial district joined the National Register in 2020. Rehab work on income-producing contributing buildings may qualify for federal and state historic tax credits.

The restaurants are here

Chef-run newcomers sit beside institutions like The Beautiful. Every opening brings more people to the street, and more reasons for the next one.
