Adjacent to the funky Little Five Points business district, Inman Park is another intown neighborhood which has risen from the depths of decay to become a popular place to live and play.  Its roots began as Atlanta’s first planned suburb in the late 1800s, but fell into decline in the 1910s and lasted until the Inman Park Development Corporation was established in 1970.  The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.  The neighborhood is an active one, and citizens defeated the proposed Stone Mountain freeway, which would have cut the neighborhood in two. 

Today, the neighborhood is noted for its combination of bohemian and yuppie residents who appreciate its blend of eclecticism and laissez-faire attitude.  Its annual Spring Festival features a large street market, a tour of the neighborhood homes, and a parade.
