    "There are many dog owners in the area. Their dogs are cared for and on leashes when they go for walks. There are many walking trails and parks for families and their dogs to walk on. It’s a nice wooded area. "

    "It’s a mixed neighborhood of single family homes and townhomes tucked away from major streets. It has plenty of sidewalks, a dog park, a large pool that goes 9 feet deep and an amazing clubhouse. It’s within walking distance of a long walking trail, but also super close to grocery stores & plenty of eateries."

    "well I know they have a lot of dog parks here. I dont really know of anything people would dislike though. maybe that some owners dont know their dogs as well as they think and they think it's cute when their dog acts a fool and bc of that others have to suffer."

    "A hidden gem of the Atlanta area. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and neighbors are so friendly. It is a safe area and our neighbors really watch out for each other. People take care of their property and once spring hits it feels like you are at the botanical gardens. People are always out walking around and it’s nice to see the homes and landscaping with such character. Neighbors of all ages. I just had a baby and found a nice mom’s groups here. There is a park in the neighborhood with playground, pool and baseball fields. Peachtree creek path is walkable from anywhere in the neighborhood. We truly have everything we could ask for in a neighborhood and everything we need like grocery stores (Whole Foods 360), restaurants, shopping, salons etc just outside the neighborhood. Love, love, love it!!"

    "I love Medlock Park Neighborhood. Beautiful neighborhood with such nice people. It is a safe neighborhood where you know your neighbors and people help each other out. Decorate for the holidays and even throw neighborhood parties. Great for families with baseball fields, a pool, and playground in Medlock park. The Peachtree creek path can’t be beat! Homes are unique and people grow beautiful gardens in their front yard. I do not have a single negative thing to say about the hood and I feel lucky to be a part of it. "
