Virginia Highlands
The Virginia-Highland neighborhood is one of homes, shopping, restaurants and watering holes. While we certainly enjoy all those things, what interests us most about the neighborhood is the wide variety of architectural styles of the homes you can see while walking its sidewalks.
 Along with its neighbor to the north, Morningside, the neighborhood as we know it today was formed in the fight against I-485, a major North-South highway which was planned and supported by just about all the powers in the city and the state. It was designed to barrel through those neighborhoods while connecting Georgia 400 (not yet built, but on the drawing boards) and I-20. Housewives and other ordinary citizens fought it and won. This victory was the beginning of the neighborhood movement in Atlanta and was the major impetus for the revitalization of intown Atlanta.
