A main artery of Atlanta
As one of Atlanta's oldest neighborhoods, Grant Park is a thriving upscale community steeped in history and modern comforts. This suburban enclave, built around the city's oldest public park, possesses admirable Victorian architecture southeast of downtown Atlanta and all its top attractions. The neighborhood's namesake park is one of the city's most famous landmarks, home to historic monuments, buildings and, of course, Zoo Atlanta. The location helps residents balance work, recreation and education in Atlanta for daily living. From the professional opportunities that come with living near several major corporations to the thriving culture of downtown Atlanta, Grant Park puts some of the best that Georgia has on its residents' doorsteps. Victor Rodriguez, a 7-year Realtor with Watkins Real Estate Associates, says, “It’s a safe area that has lower single-family home prices than other neighborhoods in metro Atlanta.”

I have lived in Grant Park my entire life and find the community to be extremely diverse and nice. Though I had to go to private school for high school because the public schools are no good in the area.
