Atlantic Station

In New York it’s easy to get around without a car, in Atlanta it’s a lot trickier. It is even trickier because there are few neighborhoods that provide the convenience needed to live car-free – namely grocery stores and convenience to transit. So keeping that in mind, I would recommend Atlantic Station to be one of the most preeminent places to live in downtown Atlanta. While somewhat on its own island across from midtown, Atlantic Station has a shuttle that transits to different stops around town. However, walking is the best way to go around here. There are sidewalks everywhere; great for walk ability (shown in this video below).


The apartments and town homes found here have a center communal space, great for socializing with neighbors or to walk your dog; it’s like a mini-park (found in the video below).


Grocery shopping is found at Publix and/or Target which is right down the street. Ikea is also a big hit in town for furniture. The retail shopping stores, bowling alley and Regal Cinema, and various restaurants all add to a great nightlife in this neighborhood. This is a popular neighborhood for Georgia Tech students to spend their weekends.
