Glen Iris Lofts is located on Glen Iris at North Avenue. It is less than one block from neighborhood businesses at Ponce Springs and Midtown Place (with Whole Foods, Home Depot, and Borders Books among others) and convenient to several neighborhood business districts, including the Shops of Highland Row, Little Five Points, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Highland and Ponce de Leon. There are several grocery stores very nearby, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Publix, and Kroger, and this location is not far from the Edgewood Retail District -- a new multi-use development featuring major national retailers including: Lowe's, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Office Depot, and much more.

This is a booming area of town with major new developments forthcoming. Across the street from Glen Iris Lofts is the old Sears building (currently City Hall East), which is slated for redevelopment as Ponce Park -- a multi-use mall and condo development that will feature a fabulous new park to replace existing parking lots. More development is scheduled to take place at the site of Masquerade and the National Linen Service buildings.
Just down North Avenue at Moreland Avenue you'll find Freedom Park and The PATH (intown's multi-use urban trail, which is popular with area runners, walkers, skaters, and others). This location is also on the proposed Beltline, which will connect 45 intown neighborhoods with parks, transit and trails for commuters, bicyclists and pedestrians. [Detail map.] The Trust for Public Land has also purchased a significant tract of land across North Avenue to construct a large new park that will tie in to the proposed beltline. Other nearby parks include: Piedmont Park (Atlanta's largest park and home to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Lake Clara Meer, and many of the city's biggest festivals and special events); Candler Park (home to a public executive length golf course, swimming pool, sports fields, and a new playground); and Goldsboro Park (featuring tennis and basketball courts).

Glen Iris Lofts is located in the Midtown/Poncey-Highland neighborhood and is extremely convenient to Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Candler Park, and Druid Hills. This location provides an easy commute to Downtown as well as Emory University, and there are two MARTA rail stations (Inman Park/Reynoldstown and King Memorial) located within approximately 1 mile. This area also has easy access to the interstate via Freedom Parkway to I-75/85 and continuing on to GA 400, I-20, and I-285.
