Virginia-Highland is an exceptionally attractive and popular intown neighborhood.

Both of these neighborhood parks are well-loved and well-used by neighborhood residents. And just down Virginia Avenue you'll find Piedmont Park, Atlanta's largest park and home to many of the city's biggest concerts and festivals. This location is also very close to The PATH, a greenway urban trail for runners, cyclists, skateboarders, etc. Nearby Candler Park (with a public golf course and swimming pool) is also only a short drive.
This area is exceptionally convenient to Emory University and offers an easy commute to Downtown Atlanta, Midtown, or Decatur.
