Walking distance to the Smoke Rise community garden, Smoke Rise Elementary, and the new Publix-anchored shopping center, home to First Watch, Antico Pizza, and the soon-to-come Club Pilates. Just a mile from downtown Tucker's restaurant and brewery scene, and ten minutes to historic Stone Mountain Village and Stone Mountain Park.

Tucker is in the middle of an exciting revitalization, with the new Tucker Town Green now open downtown and a proposed trail network on the way. Smoke Rise Country Club is nearby for golf, tennis, pickleball, and dining. A rare find for buyers who value individuality over uniformity - minutes from the inside perimeter life, but rooted in a walkable, tree-shaded neighborhood with a character all its own.
