Atlanta Neigh­bor­hoods

Atlanta is home to many unique and diverse neighborhoods:

Buck­head

Buck­head is an uptown dis­trict within the city of Atlanta. Home to the Gov­er­nor Man­sion, the area’s real estate mar­ket is also the most expen­sive in the state of Geor­gia. Pub­li­ca­tions often refer to Buck­head as the “Bev­erly Hills of the South” and con­sis­tently rank it one of the nation’s “10 Top Afflu­ent Com­mu­ni­ties” for “some of the most beau­ti­ful man­sions, best shop­ping and finest restau­rants in the South­east­ern United States.”

Mid­town Atlanta

Mid­town Atlanta is a dis­trict sit­u­ated between the com­mer­cial and finan­cial dis­trict of Down­town to the south and the afflu­ent res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial dis­trict of Buck­head to the north. Mid­town is known through­out Atlanta as an extremely pop­u­lar, cos­mopoli­tan, and vibrant area for nightlife. Many of the city’s bars and trendy restau­rants are located in Midtown.

Down­town Atlanta

Down­town Atlanta is the loca­tion of many cor­po­rate or regional head­quar­ters, city, county, state and fed­eral gov­ern­ment facil­i­ties, sport­ing facil­i­ties, and is the cen­tral tourist attrac­tion of the city. The largest finan­cial dis­trict also con­tains strik­ing archi­tec­ture that dates back to the 1800s while main­tain­ing a mod­ern look and feel. Finally, the area is also the loca­tion of the hub of MARTA rail lines and where the major Inter­states meet each other with two of them form­ing the Down­town Connector.

SoNo

SoNo: South of North Avenue: is the new name applied to the once ambigu­ous area between Down­town and Mid­town. Ongo­ing urban renewal efforts in the new neigh­bor­hood seek to estab­lish a chic cul­tural iden­tity for the under­de­vel­oped area, as well as reunite the Mid­town and Down­town com­mer­cial dis­tricts. The SoNo neigh­bor­hood is a great mix of both res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial devel­op­ment and is cur­rently home to sev­eral attrac­tions, includ­ing the Atlanta Civic Cen­ter, Sci-Trek Sci­ence and Tech Museum, and the Bank of Amer­ica Plaza, the city’s tallest building.

Inman Park

Located two miles east of down­town, His­toric Inman Park is Atlanta’s first planned com­mu­nity and one of the nation’s first gar­den sub­urbs. It is listed on the National Reg­is­ter of His­toric Places and fea­tures Vic­to­rian homes and access to a vari­ety of hip pubs, restau­rants, salons and retail establishments.

Can­dler Park

Can­dler Park is also the name of the neigh­bor­hood sur­round­ing Can­dler Park, a 55 acre city park. The park fea­tures a 9 hole golf course, a swim­ming pool, a football/soccer field, a bas­ket­ball court, ten­nis courts, and a play­ground. The Can­dler Park His­toric Dis­trict is listed on the National Reg­is­ter of His­toric Places. The neigh­bor­hood is home to the orig­i­nal loca­tion of one of Atlanta’s most pop­u­lar brunch spots, The Fly­ing Biscuit.

Lit­tle Five Points

Lit­tle Five Points (also L5P or LFP or Lit­tle Five) is an area of Ata­lanta, 2.5 miles east of down­town. It was estab­lished in the early 1900s as the com­mer­cial dis­trict for Inman Park (which lies to the west) and Can­dler Park (which lies to the east) neigh­bor­hoods. It is home to many of the city’s older retail stores, restau­rants, bars, the­ater com­pa­nies, and music venues.
