LUXURY NEIGHBORHOODS

Midtown | Trendy, Sophisticated, Artsy

Located just north of Centennial Olympic Park, Midtown pulsates with cultural vibrancy and sophistication, making it an attractive enclave for the discerning. As the “Heart of the Arts” in Atlanta, Midtown boasts an Arts District adorned with iconic institutions like the Fox Theatre, High Museum of Art, MODA, and more. The neighborhood’s dynamic spirit is palpable, with Piedmont Park and Peachtree Street serving as lively hubs for leisure and socializing. West Midtown, highlighted by Atlantic Station, offers a delightful shopping and dining district. Proximity to the innovative Georgia Institute of Technology campus and Atlanta’s Westside, known for its design, art galleries, and fine dining, enhances Midtown’s allure. Real estate in Midtown reflects its burgeoning status, featuring sleek condos and sophisticated lofts on main thoroughfares, alongside charming cottages and stately homes on side streets, catering to a diverse range of tastes. The historic Midtown residential neighborhood, with its early to mid20th-century single-family homes, exudes timeless charm and has been a designated National Historic District since 1999.

Inman Park | Social, Vibrant, Eclectic

As Atlanta’s pioneering planned residential enclave and the city’s first neighborhood to embrace electric trolleys, Inman Park boasts a rich historical pedigree. It became the favored haven for Atlanta’s 19th-century elite, characterized by magnificent Victorian homes gracing spacious lots. Notable residents, including Asa Griggs Candler, the founder of an internationally known beverage company, added to its legacy. Undergoing a revitalization surge in the 1970s and earning a place on the National Register of Historic Places, it has evolved into a “small-town downtown” concept, offering urban conveniences within a suburban ambiance. Culinary enthusiasts will relish Krog Street Market, acclaimed by respected food and leisure media outlets as one of the top food halls in the US, offering a medley of regional flavors and unique specialties. Inman Park’s natural beauty is evident by the lush tree canopies and blossoming front yards, with the Inman Park Tree Watch diligently tending to the neighborhood’s green spaces. Each April, the entire community springs to life with the vibrant Inman Park Festival, a cherished tradition since its revitalization in the 1970s. The festival boasts a colorful parade, historic home tours, live music, arts and crafts exhibitions, and an engaging kids’ zone, creating a delightful celebration for all.

Virginia-Highland | Casual Luxury, Trendy, Lively

Virginia-Highland, affectionately known as “VaHi”, exudes a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere, characterized by 1920s bungalows, a diverse community, and a casual lifestyle. Blocks of historic bungalows are interspersed with six delightful enclaves, creating a village-like atmosphere. Beyond its charming streets, VaHi boasts historical landmarks like Atkins Park Restaurant, serving since 1922, and the Art Deco Plaza Theatre, established in 1939. The vibrant Virginia-Highland Summerfest, a 38-year tradition, showcases music, art, food, and a lively neighborhood parade, making it a mustvisit event for residents. With over 200 Southeastern vendors presenting a wide array of folk and fine art, as well as games, crafts, and activities for children, VaHi’s Summerfest is a vibrant reflection of the neighborhood’s dynamic spirit.

Ansley Park | Historic, Cultural, Esteemed

Nestled between Peachtree Street and Piedmont Road, Ansley Park is one of Atlanta’s oldest and most coveted neighborhoods, offering a prime location in the heart of Midtown. This historic community boasts a stunning mix of classic Tudor, Italian Renaissance, Federal, and Colonial-style homes, some of which have stood for over a century.

The neighborhood’s green spaces and nearby cultural venues like the Woodruff Arts Center and Piedmont Driving Club add to its allure, making it a haven for both relaxation and cultural enrichment.

Morningside-Lenox Park | Suburban-Feel, Established, Active

Morningside-Lenox Park is an elegant enclave for those seeking a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. With larger, suburban-like lots compared to its neighboring communities, it offers spacious living spaces while preserving the classic architecture of Tudor revival and Craftsman-style homes. The neighborhood boasts a lush canopy of mature trees, creating a serene atmosphere for its 3,500 homes, ranging from quaint bungalows to contemporary new construction.
