This location is ideal for anyone who wants to take advantage of all the great amenities that intown has to offer.

This part of town is a magnet for foodies. With everything from value-priced fare, such as the city's best authentic Italian pizza (Antico Napoletano), Sublime Doughnuts, and one of Atlanta's classic diners (the Silver Skillet) to some of the finest dining experiences in town (including Bacchanalia, Abattoir, and Miller Union), this area offers almost limitless possibilities for eating out. [More on Midtown and Westside restaurants.] Of course, if you prefer to cook at home, you've got a Publix just down the street (in Atlantic Station), a Trader Joe's a few blocks down 10th Street, a Whole Foods in Midtown, and the spectacular Star Provisions (and Local Farmstand) in the Westside Provisions District.
