Bordering Midtown on its west side, you'll find Georgia Tech and Atlantic Station. Many Georgia Tech students live in Midtown, where they can walk to class or take MARTA.

Directly south of Midtown, you'll find more to do at the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and Centennial Olympic Park. Sports fans can head to Philips Arena, home to the NBA Atlanta Hawks and the WNBA Atlanta Dream. Dinosaur fans will love the Fernbank Museum, those who like mummies can head to Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University, music lovers can catch a performance by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and those with children will delight in having the Center for Puppetry Arts in the neighborhood.

Choosing an apartment in Midtown, you'll be able to walk to work -- or easily take the train.
