South Atlanta
 South Atlanta is slowly becoming a hot spot for Atlanta's young professionals. At one time this prime area was in danger of becoming part of a planned highway system, but with the efforts of community leaders and activists, the area revitalized itself to become the urban professional's dream.
In the midst of ever-changing Atlanta, this county hasn't changed much in 40 years. Kids still walk to school, ride bikes, play in the woods and swim on the neighborhood team. Parents get to know each other through the civic association, clubs, recreation and a multitude of nearby churches. People still find the 1950s and '60s brick ranches on 1/2-acre wooded lots.
The area is characterized by many of the original Craftsman-style bungalows and Tudor revival brick homes. With boulevard streets abound and leafy tree-covered homes that are minutes from downtown, South Atlanta has become home to renovation.
This Atlanta neighborhood was originally designed to as a subdivision. The attractive neighborhood has many investors building new homes here. This neighborhood is one of the finest examples of urban planning in the South.
While large office buildings, restaurants, service businesses, and other shopping centers have arisen, all have respectfully kept the integrity of South Atlanta’s historic significance as have the increasing numbers of elegant homebuilders and condominiums/apartments builders in the area
