Neighborhood

Located just south of Piedmont Park, the Midtown Garden District is a charming community teeming with an array of historic homes and modern apartment buildings amid rolling hills under a canopy of lush trees. The Midtown Garden District is tightly defined by 10th Street to the north, Ponce de Leon Avenue to the south, Piedmont Avenue to the west, and Lakeview Avenue to the east.

The Midtown Garden District is largely residential, offering residents a secluded, peaceful atmosphere in the heart of one of Atlanta’s most exciting neighborhoods. While the Midtown Garden District may feel secluded, the community is just steps away from Midtown’s vibrant stretch of restaurants, bars, and offices along Peachtree Street. It’s also within walking distance of Virginia Highland, Ponce City Market, and the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail, making it one of the most desirable communities in the city.
