Neighborhood Issue 2012 | Creative Loafing

Inman Park is where members of the city's creative class go when they hit the big time - or where those seeking the refuge of quaint coach houses or partitioned Victorians go to fake it. It's the perfect mix of resplendence and cool. Founded in the 1890s, the neighborhood prides itself on being Atlanta's first suburb - and among the first intown neighborhoods to experience a resurgence in the... | more...

Neighborhoods - Cabbagetown + Reynoldstown Article

Thursday March 29, 2012 04:00 am EDT 03/29/2012 4:00 am

The narrow streets and crooked lanes in Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown aren't suitable for crosstown traffic, and that suits this tiny intown enclave just fine. The rows of shotgun houses and old brick buildings once served the purposes of the massive Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill, but now they make up a charmingly dense district that's just as good for dog walkers as it is for boozehounds. Tucked... | more...

Neighborhoods - Castleberry Hill Article

Thursday March 29, 2012 04:00 am EDT 03/29/2012 4:00 am

Castleberry Hill was once ground zero for creatives on the come-up, home to loft dwellers by day and a rowdy nightlife scene after hours. But its luster has faded slightly in recent years, after a hot real estate market out-priced artists and then proceeded to collapse. The neighborhood can feel a little bit like a ghost town on a Monday afternoon when most galleries and businesses are closed,... | more...

Neighborhoods - Chamblee Article

Thursday March 29, 2012 04:00 am EDT 03/29/2012 4:00 am

Chamblee isn't so much a neighborhood with something for everyone as a neighborhood convenient to the ones that do. It offers affordable housing inside the Perimeter and is practically adjacent to the Buford Highway corridor of ethnic restaurants, and just a few miles south of Buckhead's shopping districts. Families with kids will be more attracted to spacious, sleepy residential neighborhoods... | more...

Neighborhoods - Little Five Points Article

Thursday March 29, 2012 04:00 am EDT 03/29/2012 4:00 am

Situated a few miles east of downtown at the intersections of Euclid, Moreland, McLendon, and what used to be Seminole avenues, Little Five Points is Atlanta's version of Haight-Ashbury, pressed into a two-and-a-half-mile area like a jigsaw puzzle piece. With a variety of independently owned boutique shops, restaurants, bars, and music venues, Bohemian culture and DIY capitalism are the... | more...

Neighborhoods - Ormewood Article

Thursday March 29, 2012 04:00 am EDT 03/29/2012 4:00 am

This verdant, diverse, and quiet neighborhood has a storied history of being a good place to settle down and raise a family - while still being close to the East Atlanta haunts you enjoyed in your younger days.
