Midtown

Midtown is home to many of Atlanta’s cultural attractions, universities, Fortune 500 businesses and prominent architecture. The neighborhood is Atlanta’s first ecodistrict, making it one of the most functional and sustainable districts in the nation.

Quick History

In the late 19th century, Midtown was considered one of the finest neighborhoods in Atlanta. Mansions lined Peachtree Street and Piedmont Park had just been developed. Roughly a century later, the Midtown Alliance was formed to continue to improve and maintain the neighborhood’s safety, arts and education programs and overall quality of life. Today, Midtown is considered both a commercial district as well as Atlanta’s “Heart of the Arts.”
