Midtown is the designation for six in-town communities: Ansley Park, Loring Heights, Sherwood Forest, Georgia Institute of Technology and Home Park, which includes the popular Atlantic Station. Until the 1960’s, Midtown was referred to as the 10th Street neighborhood and prior to that it was known as Uptown Atlanta.
Midtown is literally at the center of it all with some of the best museums, theaters, parks, restaurants and historical sites in Atlanta. Today you will find a number of successful businesses and numerous individuals and families who have chosen to reside here in order to take advantage of the conveniences of in-town living.
There are several annual events that take place in Midtown which include the following: Atlanta Dogwood Festival (April), Midtown Home Tour, (April), Atlanta Jazz Festival (May), Atlanta Pride Festival (June) and the Peachtree Road Race 10K (July 4th).
It’s almost impossible to list all of the sites Midtown has to offer, but here is a sampling:
Atlanta Ballet, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Atlanta Opera, Center for Puppetry Arts, Ferst Center for the Arts, Fox Theater, Goethe Institute, High Museum of Art, Margaret Mitchell House, Peachtree Playhouse, Piedmont Park, and Woodruff Arts Center.
