Nearby Midtown Promenade is only a few blocks away and features some excellent eateries and pubs, a Trader Joe's grocery store, and the Midtown Art Cinema. If you want to go further afield, the Midtown and North Avenue MARTA rail stations provide exceptionally convenient transportation to Downtown, Buckhead, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, among other destinations within the city.

Midtown is a lively and energetic community. It is a historic neighborhood located just north of Downtown Atlanta's central business district. The area features fine turn of the century homes in a variety of styles as well as a large number of smaller bungalows from the 1920s. Midtown residents benefit from the wide array of restaurants, clubs, and arts venues in the area. The neighborhood is politically active and boasts strong and effective neighborhood and business associations. The Midtown Alliance spends millions of dollars to provide additional community services and to improve infrastructure. Two of the organization's initiatives are Midtown Blue (a full-time, private police force staffed by off-duty police officers) and Midtown Green (an environmental maintenance crew that scours the area to eliminate debris and visual clutter).
