Outdoor options abound in Memorial Park

Named for one of Atlanta’s largest parks, Memorial Park supports an active lifestyle centered around tennis, golf, hiking and biking. The BeltLine Trail, a 22-mile pedestrian loop around the city, runs through the neighborhood’s namesake park and passes by a nine-hole public golf course and the city’s largest tennis center. Memorial Park is in Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead district, just 6 miles from downtown. The neighborhood’s scenery and convenient location combine with a wide-ranging selection of homes and highly rated schools. “You take the walkability, pocket parks and all the paths for biking, and throw that in with renovated a clubhouse and golf course, and you get why it’s one of the most celebrated neighborhoods in Atlanta,” says Bonneau Ansley, founder of Ansley Real Estate and fifth generation Atlanta native.

Just a few miles from Downtown, Memorial Park is a jewel in Buckhead offering natural serenity near the heart of the city.

Atlanta Memorial Park connects to the Northside BeltLine

The neighborhood earns it name from the 200-acre Atlanta Memorial Park on Woodward Way. While the park was damaged after heavy flooding in 2009, it has been built back up by The Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy over the last 15 years. The park’s Bitsy Grant Tennis Center has 28 courts, making it the largest tennis center in Atlanta, and is next to the public Bobby Jones Golf Course. Memorial Park also connects to the Northside Beltline. A short walk or bike ride along the Beltline leads to the scenic trails at neighboring Tanyard Creek Park on 28th Street. “You have Memorial Park, you’ve got Bobby Jones Golf Course, there’s just a lot going on there that’s appealing,” says Cathy LaMon, a Realtor with Keller Williams, who lives in Buckhead.” Ahavath Achim Synagogue on Peachtree Battle Avenue is on the north side of Atlanta Memorial Park, and other houses of worship like Atlanta Westside Presbyterian Church on Collier Road and Al-Farooq Masjid on 14th Street are within 5 miles of the park.

Memorial Park offers both midcentury homes and modern builds

Cottages, Cape Cods and French-influenced family homes line the streets of Memorial Park. Some of the most established residences are from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and some homeowners have added New Traditional properties built in the last decade to the community. “A lot of people will stay in these little cottages, but if they want more space, they may tear down and rebuild because they like the location so much,” says Kenna Daws, Atlanta native and a Realtor at Keller Williams Realty Atlanta North. Properties of all styles are built along hilly streets and surrounded by large lots with mature trees. Houses under 3,000 square feet sell for $750,000 to $950,000, while larger homes range from $950,000 to $1.5 million. Memorial Park has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Close to I-75, MARTA buses and Amtrak rail

I-75 runs along the south side of the neighborhood. It leads to downtown, 6 miles away, and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 15 miles south. “With Interstate 75 being right there, it’s so easy to get to downtown or just anywhere really. The location is a big draw,” LaMon says. There are MARTA bus stops throughout Memorial Park on major streets like Howell Mill Road, and an Amtrack station is on Peachtree Road, about 3 miles away. Piedmont Atlanta, one of the city’s major hospitals, is also on Peachtree Road, as is the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, which displays work from artists across the state.
