Lake Claire is an Intown Atlanta neighborhood of about 1200 homes in Dekalb county. There never was an actual lake of the same name, instead, the neighborhood name comes from the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Claire Drive. Rather than being developed by a single builder, much of Lake Claire was sold as empty lots with individuals constructing their own homes, contributing to the neighborhood's unique flavor. In addition to the original and renovated homes in the neighborhood, there are also new-construction homes in Lake Claire, such as the Sutherland Place subdivision. Lake Clairians enjoy an eclectic collection of shops & restaraunts on McLendon in neighboring Candler Park, and even more shopping in the nearby Edgewood Retail District.
