Suffering from an identity crisis, an area between Midtown and Downtown Atlanta needed a rebrand. So, in 2005 SoNo — short for South of North Avenue — took hold. The catchy name announces its prime location: SoNo is within a mile of some of the top spots in Atlanta, such as the Georgia Aquarium and the Fox Theatre. Emory University Hospital Midtown is in the neighborhood, employing more than 2,000 physicians.
Most SoNo residents live in contemporary high-rise condos and apartment complexes. Balconies provide a nice touch, and pools and fitness centers offer indoor and outdoor activities. Depending on size, condos range from $185,000 to $450,000.
Enjoy views of Downtown Atlanta or take a short walk to nearby galleries, boutique shops and restaurants. Poor Calvin’s is a SoNo favorite with its standout Asian fusion flair— consider the lobster crawfish wontons or the duck dynasty in siam sauce. Familiar retailers such as Publix Super Market and Walgreens are less than a mile away.
Though SoNo doesn’t include established parks within its boundaries, the 211-acre Piedmont Park is under 2 miles away. Massive festivals, such as the Atlanta Pride Festival, set up shop at the park, but celebration-free days are no less fun: Feed the geese and ducks by the lake, play some tennis or relax in the pool during the summer months. Piedmont Park’s Legacy Fountain features over 70 jets shooting skyward, with the Atlanta skyline in the background.
Atlanta Public School District serves the area and earns a B from Niche. John Hope-Charles Walter Hill Elementary gets a C, and David T. Howard Middle School earns an A-minus. Midtown High School receives an A-plus and is known for its historic building and the $34.9 million renovation completed in 2021 to modernize facilities and increase accessibility. In addition to strong academics and a diverse student body, Midtown has a popular arts curriculum that includes band, orchestra, visual arts and theater arts; an award-winning student newspaper, literary magazine and broadcast news program; and a specialized gifted mentorship and internship course.
