Natural beauty comes to mind when you think of the Cedar Groves and Cliftondale communities. Divided by Highway 92, the Campbellton Palmetto Highway, these communities have a rural flavor that beckons anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful existence. Made up of older homes on large one-plus acre lots these residential neighborhoods are ripe for development. Walden Park, the first large development in the area in quite sometime is leading the way with moderately priced to high end homes carved into roundabouts and tree-lined streets. Residents are striving to preserve the charm and character of these neighborhoods while working with bidding planners to introduce new developments to further strengthen infrastructure. One example is Stonewall Tell Elementary School. This school is the area’s most recently built and is quickly moving to the head of the class so to speak. With small class sizes, the school is a dream come true for parents seeking quality educational opportunities for their children.

Overall, the schools in South Fulton rate very well. A. Philip Randolph Elementary has a very strong academic base with great parental participation. The new Sandtown Middle School is ranked as the best middle school on the Southside.
