Little Five Points

Named after the "five points" intersection between Moreland, Euclid, and McLendon. Little Five Points is Atlanta's example of eclectic dining, shopping and artistic creativity, reminiscent of New York's Greenwich Village or Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Older homes fill this community, however these homes have not been refurbished. Often a Mecca for bargain hunters who want to find a reasonably priced home and still live in town. Most residents are young trendsetters who are contemptuous of mainstream values. The creative artsy types and the eclectics. Little Five Points offers a vast array of shopping and nightlife activities. Best known for its rows of off beat shops, trendy bars, music stores, vintage clothing, and obscure artwork. Body piercing, or tattooing are prominent in this creative atmospheric neighborhood. "Slacker's Island," a concrete mall outside the Point, is a club that draws numerous alternative bands and is noted for the colorful characters it attracts. Accessible to most major expressways.
