Downtown Atlanta/Castleberry Hill/Centennial Olympic Park

Downtown, Castleberry Hill and Centennial Olympic Park represent, in many ways, the heart and soul of modern Atlanta -- business, history and the arts, and achievement in the face of adversity. The three areas are very different, but together they form a beautiful patchwork quilt of all that is appealing and good in Atlanta, the nation's eighth-largest city. These neighborhoods capture the spirit and diversity of the city in its entirety, and also offer a blueprint for a "city done right."

Getting around in the core is probably a lot easier on foot or on the bus than it would be if you drove. You'll want a car, though, because even the most determined city-dweller wants to head for wide open spaces on occasion. Yes, Atlanta has great public transportation, and you'll really appreciate it when you live downtown. But keep your wheels even though you keep them parked!

Urban Life. History. Beauty. What's not to love about being close to the action in a world-class city that’s home to distinguished businesses, beauty and world-class amenities. There aren't many single-family dwellings with large lawns in this area, but there are exciting live-work-play spaces, both to rent and to buy, with more planned for the future. The energy is palpable; the park is inviting, and the downtown skyline is mesmerizing.

Castleberry Hill is Atlanta's unique urban showcase of loft living carved from the historic warehouse district. It is alive and well in the 21st Century, but honors its commercial and industrial past with a nod to transportation. Residents are attracted to its historic buildings, its creative spirit and its proximity to downtown. Artists are especially fond of it. As one of eight historic neighborhoods in the city, it's as old as Atlanta itself.
