Lake Claire is a wonderful neighborhood adjacent to Candler Park and Druid Hills near Emory University and the City of Decatur on the east-side of Atlanta. This neighborhood has a true sense of community -- neighbors organize periodic informal events, and there's a neighborhood garden club and book club as well as a very strong neighborhood organization. There are several parks nearby, including the Lake Claire Community Land Trust, which is privately owned by several families who have graciously opened it up for the use of the neighborhood. You'll just have to see the Land Trust to appreciate it -- it is home to gardeners, nature-lovers, tree-climbers, and a great place for neighborhood kids to play. The brand new Lake Claire Pool is also just down the street. It is a private pool to which neighborhood residents may apply for membership.
Public parks in the area include: Lake Claire Park (with a sports field, tennis court, playground, and picnic pavillion); Candler Park (with an public executive length Golf Course, a swimming pool, sports fields, tennis courts, and a newer playground); Goldsboro Park (with tennis and basketball courts); Freedom Park; and the PATH (intown's fabulous multi-use urban trail, which is used by runners, walkers, skaters, and others). Also, just off Ponce de Leon Avenue, you have the Olmsted Linear Parks, which form a ribbon of greenspace dividing Candler Park and Lake Claire from the adjoining Druid Hills neighborhood.
This location is very convenient to several neighborhood business districts, including Candler Park, Little Five Points, Poncey-Highland, and Virginia-Highland as well as the new the Edgewood Retail District, a major new multi-use development that includes major retailers (Target; Lowe's; Bed, Bath & Beyond; Barnes & Noble; Office Depot; Kroger; Petco) plus many other businesses. Emory University is also very nearby and offers many amenities to the community. Just 2 blocks away, Freedom Parkway provides easy access to the Interstate (I-75/85, I-20, and GA 400) and the Edgewood/Candler Park MARTA rail station offers riders an effortless way to get Downtown or to the airport, among other destinations around town.
