Atlanta Lake Claire Real Estate Guide

When clients consider Lake Clair real estate, one of the first questions we get is “where’s the lake?” Well, we hate to disappoint but there never was an actual Lake Claire in the neighborhood. In fact, the name comes from combining the names of the two intersecting roads Lakeshore Drive and Claire Drive. If you can get beyond the no lake thing, there are plenty of good reasons to live in Lake Claire.

Living In Lake Claire

Lake Claire differs from many other Intown Atlanta neighborhoods in that it was not developed by builders / developers. Rather each lot was sold off to individuals who then built their own Lake Clair homes.

Moreover, unlike many other Atlanta Intown neighborhoods, Lake Claire is located not in Fulton County but rather in Dekalb county. Thus residents currently enjoy lower taxes.

Another benefit to owning Lake Claire real estate is the wide variety of nearby shops and restaurants. For example, the many choices along McLendon Ave in neighboring Candler Park, and even more shopping in the nearby Edgewood Retail District.

Lake Claire sits in zip code 30307 east of Candler Park, south of Druid Hills, north of Kirkwood and west of Oakhurst.
