During the late 1800s, a former Confederate Army Colonel and plantation owner named George Washington Scott moved to a little community just east of Atlanta and built the Scottdale Cotton Mill, and soon, series of small ranch-style homes began popping up around it for the workers. For the next several decades, the Scottdale Cotton Mill saw great success, but it eventually closed in 1982. Since many of its employees found work in other parts of Atlanta, they were able to remain in their homes in the community.
The median household income in Scottdale is around $20,000 for individuals and $28,000 for families. Over 67 percent of households have children under the age of 18 living in them. The median age is around 31 years old.
Scottdale is a mostly residential area with a few parks, antique shops, and grocery stores within its boundaries, but it is just minutes away from exciting Metro Atlanta attractions like Stone Mountain, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, and the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
The majority of the homes in Scottdale are one-story and ranch style homes built during the early to mid-20th century to accommodate the employees at the old mill. Some of them have been renovated, and in recent years, some have been removed in favor of new construction as part of a plan to revitalize the community. Scottdale’s neighborhoods are mostly wooded with plenty of mature growth trees and green grassy lawns on every street.
