New commercial and mixed used developments are being built throughout this area as well.

Children in this neighborhood attend Parkside Elementary School (one of Atlanta's newest elementary schools). In addition to the traditional public schools, children in this neighborhood are eligible to attend a popular charter elementary school (Neighborhood Charter School) and the 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 was the first for the Imagine Wesley Charter School, which serves children in grades K-7 (expanding to 8th grade by 2010), and uses the International 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.
