About Perkerson

Perkerson is a neighborhood located in southwest Atlanta. Not to be confused with the popular Perkerson Park greenspace to the north, Perkerson is a storied land that was once owned by a single farmer, Jeremiah S. Gilbert, whose former home still stands in Avery Park. Today, the Perkerson community enjoys convenient access to shopping centers, several major highways, and the airport.
