Gogo's take on Magnum Manor
“Go with care. Magnum Manor is a quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Southwest Atlanta that is generally peaceful during daylight hours. However, pedestrian amenities are sparse, commercial options within the immediate borders are minimal, and nearby arterial corridors experience elevated property and violent crime rates.”
Southwest Atlanta corridors along Campbellton Road continue to see heightened police patrols and city investment initiatives to curb property crime and retail theft.
