Cabbagetown Real Estate
Cabbagetown is a historic intown Atlanta neighborhood that was once home to the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill. The neighborhood that stands today was built as the surrounding mill town, and was home to many who worked in the mill and factory. Cabbagetown suffered a great decline when the mill was closed in the 70s until the mid 90s, when this area began to benefit from redevelopment and Atlantans moving back into intown neighborhoods.
Cabbagetown is a district of Atlanta, located east of Downtown, bordered by the Oakland Cemetery, Boulevard and Pearl Streets, Memorial Drive, and the Georgia Railroad tracks. In relation to other intown neighborhoods Cabbagetown is south of Inman Park, north of Grant Park, and west of Reynoldstown. The community is a six block area of narrow, short streets and many intersections, which is said to be typical of old mill towns. The area is made up primarily of houses, lofts, and small commercial pockets of restaurants and small businesses.
Houses on these streets tend to be on small lots, giving this neighborhood a very cozy and intimate feel. Most of the houses in Cabbagetown are colorful bungalows and craftsman styles with some Victorian and Romanesque detailing. The houses range in size from small shotguns to mid-sized two story homes. There are also a significant amount of lofts available in Cabbagetown due to the conversion of the old mill into the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, which is the nation’s largest residential loft community.
Today, Cabbagetown is home to many artists, musicians and business professionals of Atlanta, and the community continues to be in the midst of an exciting time of revitalization. If you are interested in Cabbagetown real estate, please call or email us today, we look forward to serving you.

The History of Cabbagetown
Cabbagetown is a historic Atlanta neighborhood, which was originally built to accommodate the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill. The mill was opened in 1881 by owner and operator, Jacob Elsas, a German Jewish immigrant. The mill was the first textile processing mill built in the south and its' primary product was cotton bags, for packaging various agricultural products. Elsas built the homes of Cabbagetown surrounding his mill to house his workers, who were poor whites, recruited from the Appalachian region of north Georgia.
Elsas’ mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and Cabbagetown thrived as a small tight knit community until the mill closed in 1977. At this point, Cabbagetown suffered tremendously and did not begin to recover until the mid 90s. In 1996 the old mill was renovated and converted into the largest residential loft community in the nation. The new loft development coupled with a rush of artists moving into the area beginning in the 80s and ongoing, has given way to a significant amount of growth and regeneration in Cabbagetown.
There are many stories about how Cabbagetown was named. One story is that the poor Appalachian workers grew cabbages in their front yards, and those passing through could always smell the distinct odor of cabbage cooking from outside residents' homes. A different story is that a train carrying a load of cabbages derailed by the mill, and the poor residents quickly gathered them up, took them home and cooked them for every meal, again creating a cloud of distinct cabbage odor over the little community.
