The Cascades corridor, in southwest Atlanta, is close to downtown, the airport and I-285. From downtown Atlanta, take I-20 west to I-285 south to Cascade Road. In the late 1980s, builders began to turn their attention to the available land in the southwest area of Atlanta. The corridor, long known for its established neighborhoods, afforded the proximity to downtown that many upscale buyers were seeking. The community along Cascade Road was developed as a residential area beginning about 1920. Older homes in the Cascade's eastern areas give way to traditional ranch subdivisions of the late 1940s and 1950s. During the 1960s, the development of neighborhoods such as Cascade Heights began to draw upscale buyers. The wide, tree-lined streets and sturdy brick houses drew many families and professionals. The area, now called the Cascades, has recently exploded with residential and commercial growth. Subdivisions offer homes ranging from the high $100,000s to the $600,000s, and Home Depot, Publix, Kroger, and other stores and restaurants are close to the neighborhood.
