Morningside Village is an example of the retail clusters found across the neighborhood.
Morningside has single-family homes in walking distance of businesses
Morningside is where you can find larger-than-average homes and quarter-acre lots without leaving the Atlanta city limits. The neighborhood’s stately homes, curving streets and dense tree canopy look like the scenery of an isolated residential pocket or a far-flung suburb, but Morningside is only 2 miles from Midtown Atlanta and features its own shopping and dining districts that are within walking distance for those [AS1.1]who live here. While many residents keep cars in their driveways, the combination of businesses within walking distance and a bus route leading to a MARTA light rail station mean locals [AS2.1]don’t have to drive if they don’t want to.
Early 1900s homes and modern additions
Houses sit under towering oaks and pine trees on sidewalk-lined streets. “The architecture is very cool, as it draws upon Tudor, Georgian and Mediterranean influences,” says Butch Whitfield, Realtor at Harry Norman Realtors. “One street has the neighborhood's original model homes from the early 20th century.” Although the houses are historic, renovations and remodeling are common, as is the construction of new homes that replicate the Tudor influences of Morningside’s more established properties.
Homes here tend to be less expensive than houses in surrounding neighborhoods; Morningside’s median home price is in the upper $700,000s, which is lower than the median in Ansley Park, Druid Hills and Lavista Park. However, it’s higher than median home prices in neighboring Virginia Highland and Woodland Hills.

Walk to clusters of shops and restaurants
Morningside residents are always close to shopping and dining. “The neighborhood was established before the use of the car was widespread, so there are numerous walkable restaurant and retail districts throughout,” Whitfield says. For example, the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and Monroe Drive is home to:
Lawrence Barbecue, an eatery serving Texas-style barbecue
Out of the Closet, a thrift store
Publix, a grocery store chain known for its sub sandwiches
Smith’s Olde Bar, a tavern with live music, DJ sets, trivia and other weekly events
Other business districts include Highland Avenue, where Alon’s Bakery & Market has been a neighborhood staple for pastries, European-style cakes and cheeses since the shop opened in 1992. Next door, Savi Provisions carries snacks, drinks and a small selection of produce.
Alon's Bakery & Market is a staple of the Morningside neighborhood.

Pocket parks and the 200-acre Piedmont Park
Pocket parks and nature preserves are scattered throughout Morningside. Some were created from vacant lots left over after an abandoned attempt to build an interstate through the neighborhood in the 1960s, and others have been preserved for more than a century. Morningside's parks and greenery help set it apart from other in-town Atlanta neighborhoods, says Katie Schanck, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Atlanta Midtown: "It’s a neighborhood-y feel [in Morningside] versus a city feel." Local green spaces include:
Morningside Nature Preserve, where 2 miles of trails extend along the wooded banks of South Fork Peachtree Creek
Herbert Taylor Park, where trails alongside Rock Creek are popular with dog owners
Lenox-Wildwood Park, where a pair of tennis courts are open to the public
Sunken Garden Park, where kids go to use the playground
Morningside borders Piedmont Park, one of the city’s most-visited parks thanks to the trails, courts, fields and playgrounds spread across its 200 acres. The Atlanta Botanical Garden is on-site, and the Atlanta Beltline passes through the park on its 22-mile journey around the city. You can walk or bike the trail south from Piedmont Park to Ponce City Market, a warehouse converted into shops and a food hall, or north to Ansley Golf Club, a private golf course and country club.

Attending highly rated Atlanta Public Schools campuses
Students living in Morningside can attend three highly rated public schools: Morningside Elementary School, David T. Howard Middle School and Midtown High School. However, those aren’t the only options, as students can transfer to schools across the Atlanta Public Schools district to enroll in magnet and other academic programs. Admission is driven by seat availability and lotteries at high-demand schools.
D.T. Howard Middle School is a highly rated option for sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
Midtown High School is less than a mile outside the neighborhood.

I-85 runs past Morningside as it extends across Atlanta and into the suburbs.
Quick access to Midtown, I-85
Residents have the option of driving or taking a bus to Midtown, 2 miles away. You can drive there in five to 15 minutes, or board a MARTA bus on Highland Avenue and arrive in about 15 minutes. Buses stop at MARTA’s Midtown station, where you can catch a train and ride to Downtown Atlanta in less than 10 minutes. Morningside is close to Interstate 85, which leads 12 miles south to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

A great, safe neighborhood in which I have never felt endangered and have always been happy to live in. There is an abundance of parks and great schools. Also, it is in close proximity to Downtown Atlanta.

I would stay here my entire life if I could. I love Atlanta, and I love the people in it. Most people I might are very involved in the community and wish to make it better. It is a hub for culture in the South. I love the music and art in Atlanta. The diversity and inclusiveness of Atlanta make anyone feel at home here.
