Avondale Estates is a progressive and evolving city located eight miles east of downtown Atlanta. Nearing 4,000 residents and growing, the 1.23 square mile city treasures its beautiful, historic neighborhoods, rolling landscapes, signature parks and its engaged and committed citizenry who are passionate about their hometown festivals and events. The downtown is on the verge of a major transformation with a new signature urban town green, plans (and funding) to transform its main street from a five-lane highway to three lanes with a multi-use path and landscaping, and a new street grid to provide for enhanced connectivity and walkability. The City, in partnership with the Downtown Development Authority, have bold and impressive plans to build on the City’s reputation as a place for excellent craft beer – recently named "Best Small Town Beer Scene" by USA Today – and to attract unique and high-quality food, entertainment and businesses to enhance the City’s current economy. The City's organization is also evolving with a progressive approach to municipal governance. The administration is committed to improving and sustaining the quality of life for Avondale Estates while developing the downtown. The City is responsible for planning, zoning, building permits, executing transportation enhancements, maintaining and addressing stormwater infrastructure, building and maintaining public parks and plazas, public safety and courts, solid waste collection, recycling, a maintenance and beautification program, and ensuring the active engagement of our stakeholders and the community.
