Preservation and progress intersect in Grant Park
Grant Park captures the feel of late 19th-century Atlanta thanks to its Victorian homes surrounding a sprawling park designed in the 1880s. A historic district preserves the neighborhood’s antique houses, attracting lovers of classic architecture to this community south of Downtown Atlanta. At the same time, townhouse developments have risen in Grant Park’s empty lots and new businesses regularly open in brick storefronts, keeping the 140-year-old neighborhood’s offerings fresh.
Grant Park is one of Atlanta's oldest public parks, established in the 1880s.

Homes in a historic district and modern townhomes
Late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture define Grant Park. Interest in the neighborhood’s vintage homes has a resurgence in the 1980s and ‘90s, and homeowners have meticulously maintained Queen Anne designs and Craftsman homes ever since. A historic district covers most of the neighborhood, putting limitations on homeowners. “If you are in that historic area, there are definitely restrictions,” says Shana Arnold, an associate broker with Adams Realtors in Grant Park. “One of the biggest is you can’t tear down [homes].” The city also requires approval for exterior changes to homes here. The median square footage is about 1,800; houses on the smaller side typically sell from the mid-$300,000s to the lower $700,000s, while larger homes sell from the lower $600,000s to $1.2 million. Newer townhouses were built in more modern styles with large windows and angular designs. One- and two-bedroom townhomes have recently sold from the mid-$300,000s to the mid-$400,000s. Prices for larger townhouses climb to the upper $800,000s.
Bungalows of varying sizes appear throughout Grant Park neighborhoods.

Zoo animals, a rec center and pickleball in Grant Park
In many ways, Grant Park looks the way it did in the late 1800s, when it became the city’s first public park. The stone bridge once crossed by carriages now welcomes pedestrians and strollers, while a bankrupt circus abandoned in the park in the 1880s became the modern-day Zoo Atlanta. The park has added modern touches, such as pickleball courts and an Atlanta Hawks-themed basketball court. There’s also a parking garage with a great view, Arnold says. “From that portion of the park, you can overlook and see the giraffes and elephants without going into the zoo.” The park hosts events throughout the year, from the Brew at the Zoo craft beer tasting in May to the live music and antique vendors of the Summer Shade Festival in August. Plus, the Grant Park Farmers Market comes to the south end of the neighborhood every Sunday.
You can spend more time outside on the Beltline, a 22-mile citywide trail network that passes through the neighborhood’s eastern and southern sides. The Beltline connects dozens of Atlanta neighborhoods, and pedestrians and cyclists can follow the trail to parks and restaurants in Peoplestown and Reynoldstown.

Walking and biking to shops and restaurants
Most people live on small, sidewalk-lined blocks that make it easy to walk or cycle to one of the small businesses scattered throughout Grant Park. The neighborhood’s size makes it difficult to walk from one side to the other, but most homes are within a few blocks of a shop, restaurant or café. Some favorite neighborhood spots include:
Grant Central Pizza & Pasta, a longtime favorite for Italian-American food
Grant Park Coffeehouse, a café with espresso, fresh-baked banana bread and coworking rooms
Grant Park Social, a cocktail bar specializing in bourbon
Maelu, a boutique selling apparel designed by an Atlanta artist
Ziba’s Bistro and Wine Bar, a hangout serving small bites and drinks
There are more businesses a few blocks north, where you’ll find restaurants, fitness studios and Shep’s Grant Park Ace Hardware. “In the last five to 10 years, we have seen huge development at Memorial Drive and Cherokee Avenue,” Arnold says. “Not only is [Grant Park] historic, but you’ve got all these modern conveniences now.”

IB programs for elementary, middle and high schoolers
Atlanta Public Schools assigns neighborhood children to one of three schools, all of which offer rigorous International Baccalaureate programs. At Parkside Elementary School, kids can join the Primary Years Programme, while Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School features the Middle Years Programme. These earlier courses prepare students to enroll in either the Career-related Programme or the Diploma Programme at Maynard Holbrook Jackson High School. Students in Grant Park also have access to district magnet programs and school choice transfers within APS. Admission is driven by seat availability and lotteries at high-demand schools. Transfers beyond a student’s zone — or from outside the district — are possible only under specific APS policies and timelines.

Grant Park is home to The Atlanta Zoo and Georgia State University stadium. The area is full of interesting things to see and do. It is absolutely beautiful in the spring time with the dogwood tress in full bloom. The Atlanta Zoo has an amazing experience waiting for you. The new elephant habit is just gorgeous.

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.
