Grant Park was one of the first intown Atlanta neighborhoods to revitalize in the 1980s. Since that time, many professionals and families have moved into the neighborhood and restored the elegant historic homes. The neighborhood was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980s in recognition of its architectural significance and historic integrity. [More info.] The Grant Park Neighborhood Association is a strong voice in the community and maintains one of Atlanta's best neighborhood web sites [gpna.org].

There's plenty of nearby shopping in this area including: the Edgewood Retail District (a huge multi-use development on Moreland Avenue with 500k square feet of retail space, including major national chains such as: Target, Lowe's, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, and Kroger); Glenwood Park (another multi-use development with a mix of shops and restaurants); and East Atlanta Village (a vibrant neighborhood shopping district). This area is convenient to all of Downtown Atlanta, and provides easy access to both I-20 and I-75/85.

Children in this neighborhood attend Parkside Elementary School (one of Atlanta's newest elementary schools). In addition to the traditional public schools, Grant Park is home to a popular charter elementary school (Neighborhood Charter School) and the new Atlanta Charter Middle School that opened in 2005. Both schools feature a hands-on, project-oriented curriculum focused on ecology and conservation, with a partnership with nearby Zoo Atlanta. The middle school also includes a strong community service component in its curriculum. There is a 3rd, brand new charter school in the neighborhood as well. The 2007-2008 school year is the first for the Imagine Wesley Charter School, which will serves children in grades K-6 (expanding to 8th grade by 2010), and uses the Interntational Baccalaureate Primary and Middle Years curriculum. Additionally, the school has single-gender classes for core curriculum and offer daily Chinese lessons for all grades. In addition to these schools, there's also a Cooperative Preschool that uses the Reggio Emilia approach. The Grant Park Parent Network is also quite active.
