Berkeley Park is convenient to everything that intown Atlanta has to offer. It is an active neighborhood with a strong association and is located in the middle of several other thriving residential neighborhoods, including Loring Heights (across Northside Drive to the East); Underwood Hills (across Howell Mill to the West); Home Park (adjacent to Georgia Tech to the Southeast); and the Collier Hills and Springlake neighborhoods (across I-75 to the North).
From here, you have easy access to I-75/85 and GA 400 as well as the shops of Buckhead, Midtown's restaurants and arts venues, and the Downtown business district. This is a creative part of town. There are antique shops, funky furniture warehouses, excellent restaurants, and incubators for small businesses and arts organizations all around the Westside (or Midtown West as the larger community has become known in recent years), including the DeFoor Centre and the King Plow Arts Center.
This area has quick access to several large shopping districts: White Provision (just down Howell Mill Road) offers a growing selection of shops and restaurants; Atlantic Station is a huge multi-use development located less than a mile from Berkeley Park that features residential, entertainment and retail components as well as hotel and office space. The District at Howell Mill features: Wal-Mart, Ross, TJ Maxx, PetSmart, Starbucks, and more. And at the entrance to the Berkeley Park neighborhood is the Berkeley Heights shopping center with a couple of restaurants (Little Azio and Rising Roll) plus other businesses.
There is a lovely park across Howell Mill Road in Underwood Hills. Underwood Park has a ball field, 2 tennis courts, a basketball court, a nice picnic shelter, and 2 brand new playgrounds (one for older children, one for preschoolers). This area is also convenient to Atlanta Memorial Park (home of Bobby Jones Golf Course and the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center); Chastain Park (one of the city's premier performing arts venues); and the southern end of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (rafting, hiking, fishing, etc.).
