Our beautiful brick building is nestled among the older homes and stately trees of Atlanta's historic Garden Hills neighborhood, a neighborhood that has become more diverse as the population's ethnicity continues to change. The economic status ranges from the very high middle class to lower income homes. There are nearby retail entrepreneurs, plazas and malls to meet the needs of our community.
