This home is located in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood, which is bordered by the neighborhoods of Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Druid Hills, and Midtown. This is a vibrant part of town with lots of new development in addition to existing neighborhood business districts. You'll love the convenience of having a grocery store just around the corner. Also nearby, the new Ponce Park multi-use development will convert City Hall East (originally the old Sears building) into 182,610 sq. ft. of retail space, 154,380 sq. ft. of office space, and over 1,100 new residential units. There are several existing neighborhood business districts in the vicinity as well, including Highland Row, Little Five Points, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Highland and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Nearby Midtown Place gives you easy access to Whole Foods, Home Depot, and Borders as well as a wide variety of other shops and restaurants, and a short drive takes you to the new Edgewood Retail District (just past Little 5 Points) where you'll find 500,000 sq. ft. of retail including major national chains such as Lowes, Target, Barnes & Noble, and Best Buy.
A large parcel of land a few blocks away has been purchased by The Trust for Public Land to become one of the largest parks on the proposed beltline. Also a few blocks away you'll find an entrance to the existing Freedom Park and The PATH (intown's multi-use urban trail, which is popular with area runners, walkers, skaters, and others). Nearby Candler Park is home to a public executive length golf course, swimming pool, sports fields, and a new playground; and Goldsboro Park offers tennis and basketball courts.
Poncey-Highland is convenient to both the Edgewood-Candler Park and Inman Park/Reynoldstown MARTA rail stations, and is a very easy commute to anywhere downtown as well as Emory University. This location also provides easy access to I-75/85 (via Freedom Parkway), GA 400 and I-20.
