Description of the Clarkston

Clarkston is a city in Dekalb County known as the “Ellis Island” of the south. It is the
most diverse square mile in America, hosting cultures from 50 different countries. This
is evident as you walk through the city along the railroad tracks that divide it into two
sides. The railroad was a convenient route straight to Atlanta, awarding this small city
the title of one of the “first true suburban communities of the south”. There are several
small grocery stores that represent the multicultural environment. Healthcare is
accessible to anyone and there are government assistance programs for low income
families. There is a walking trail, park, library, and several churches in the area as well.
The housing closest to the middle of the town looked to be low income accessible
apartments, with single family homes located further out.
