Midtown

Just north of downtown is the city's cultural center and sanctuary for the alternative lifestyle crowd, singles and young professionals. Midtown is aptly named due to its location, being the midpoint between Downtown and Buckhead. This charming area is full of old, refurbished homes, loft and warehouse apartments and condos. Lacking the large rolling lawns and mansions of Buckhead, Midtown has its own special appeal. Atlanta's legendary past is immortalized by the Margaret Mitchell House, home of Atlanta's famous author. Also convenient to the area is the High Museum of Art, and Woodruff Arts Center (Atlanta High Museum Symphony and the Alliance Theater). Piedmont Park offers a gathering place, and weekends find crowds of joggers, bikers and rollerbladers. During the spring and summer months, visitors and locals alike attend various festivals and concerts hosted by the park. Convenient to both amenities of Downtown and Buckhead, Midtowners want for nothing. Accessible to all major expressways and the Marta rail system.
