Ansley Park is a residential neighborhood in Atlanta, GA, located just east of Midtown and north of Piedmont Park. One of the first suburban neighborhoods in the city designed for automobiles, it features wide, winding roads rather than the grid pattern typical of older streetcar suburbs. It has been designated a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
Ansley Park is considered to be a neighborhood that is very community oriented. When you visit take the time to saunter through the area surrounded by aesthetic pleasure.
Atlantic Station
Atlantic Station is a large urban renewal project at the northwestern edge of Midtown Atlanta. First planned in the mid-1990s and officially opened in 2005, its 138 acres (558,000 mē) of mixed-use land development is on the former brownfield site of the Atlantic Steel mill. At completion, the redevelopment is ultimately projected to include 12 million square feet of retail, office, residential and hotel space as well as 11 acres of public parks. Its size encouraged the Postal Service to award the neighborhood its own ZIP code:
30363.
According to developer Jim Jacoby, as of September 2005, 85% of the retail space had been leased, as well as 95% of the currently-built office space, comprised now of one mid-rise office tower leased by Wachovia for its regional headquarters, the Arnall Golden Gregory LLP law firm, and construction company Carter. The first tenant to open was IKEA on June 29 2005, though another anchor, Dillard's, and additional traditional mall stores opened during the grand opening in late October 2005. Several condos and loft-style apartments are already open and many sold for upwards of $300,000. A 16-screen Regal movie theater with 4000 stadium-style seats is also open along with many restaurants, cafes and bars.
