Nestled between Midtown and Druid Hills, Virginia Highland is a charming neighborhood teeming with historic bungalows, unique shops, trendy restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife. Virginia Highland gets its name—which is often shortened to VaHi and mispronounced as Virginia Highlands—from its location at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and Highland Avenue.

A bevy of annual events, like Virginia-Highland Summerfest and the Tour of Homes, bring the community together on a regular basis.
