Avondale Estates, located in DeKalb County just east of Decatur and within the Atlanta metropolitan area, is a compact and historic city of roughly 1.23 square miles. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, its population was 3,559. The city is known for its distinctive architecture, tree-lined streets, and small-town feel, while being positioned within a major metro region.

The City of Avondale Estates (“City”) is undertaking an update to its Downtown Master Plan in partnership with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) through the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program.

The study area comprises approximately 140 acres bounded by:

• North: CSX/MARTA rail tracks

• West: Sam’s Crossing (Decatur city limits)

• East: Avondale Middle School and Ashton Place

• South: Commercial properties along US 278 (E. College / N. Avondale / Covington 

Hwy.)

The boundary also includes a spur from the 2004 LCI area — South Avondale Park and a portion of the US 278 (Covington Hwy.) corridor — plus a linear extension along Arcadia Avenue. The two nearby MARTA stations (Avondale and Kensington) provide regional transit 

access.

This update builds upon the 2014 Downtown Master Plan and integrates recent studies, policies, and market conditions to create a cohesive, actionable strategy for future development, mobility, sustainability, and placemaking
