About Avondale Estates
Avondale Estates is a 1-square-mile incorporated city that was designed as a planned community in 1924 by patent-medicine millionaire George Willis. The architecture is uniformly Tudor Revival, Mediterranean, and Storybook English with stucco + half-timbering. The downtown district (Lake Avondale + the Tudor Village) is walkable, has multiple craft breweries, and hosts a vibrant Saturday Farmers Market.
The neighborhood incorporates City of Avondale Schools (via DeKalb arrangement) but most parents send to Avondale Elementary + Druid Hills Middle/HS or Decatur HS depending on zoning.
