- Midtown is the second largest business district in the city of Atlanta, situated between the commercial and financial districts of Downtown to the south and Buckhead to the north. In 2011, Greater Midtown (see below) has a 2011 resident population of 41,681, a workplace population of 81,418, and a student population of 26,500.[1] The district attracts about six million visitors annually.[2]
Midtown is marked by its cultural attractions, institutions of higher education, noteworthy architecture, and urban layout. The district is the center of the city's arts scene that includes the Fox Theatre, Woodruff Arts Center, the High Museum of Art, the Museum of Design Atlanta, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Center for Puppetry Arts, and the 14th Street Playhouse. Midtown is also home to three well known institutions of higher education: Georgia Institute of Technology, John Marshall Law School, and the Atlanta division of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Midtown contains about one-third of the city's high-rises and some of Atlanta's most iconic buildings, such as the Bank of America Plaza, AT&T Midtown Center, One Coca-Cola Plaza, Atlantic Center, and 1180 Peachtree. Midtown has also been a primary area for high-density development in the city in the first decade of the 2000s due to the district's mass transit options and urban street grid.[2]

I was in Atlanta this weekend. Midtown is awesome!
Any places you recommend visiting? I am considering moving there and will be visiting this month!
Definitely Ponce City Market, Piedmont Park, and all over Peachtree Street.
I'd move straight to Midtown. :) Heart of Atlanta, walkable, and it's loaded with restaurants, nightlife, and amenities.
@@NessaNote I live in Atlanta! Attend the Buckhead Village, Ponce City Market, Atlantic Station, and the World of Coca-Cola located Downtown. There is plenty to accomplish!
We like Atlanta

LOVE IT!!!
piedmont park I need to go

I would love to live in midtown
I lived in Midtown 2015---before returning home in S.C.. I really miss Atlanta, GA. I was last in Atlanta---September 4th and 5th 2018, planning two days during Thanksgiving. It blows most cities away in the United States. My address was 524 Woodlawn Avenue, NW Atlanta, GA 30018. It was a more undesirable section of the city.
I did for a short time. It is very nice.

I lived in Midtown on Greenwood & Charles Allen for 24 years. The gay & lesbian , but mainly gay men came into the area in the late 1960s and refurbished homes to make them into single family homes instead of apartments. Ate about 7 or 8K meals at Silver Grill from 1974 to 1998. When AIDS epidemic hit the Yuppies , who had already moved into Virginia Highlands and Midtown took over. Peggy, waitress at the Silver said Yuppies hurt her tips. They would sit for long spells in booths and tipped poorly. The gays tipped well because most were in the service industry. Piedmont Park was better when you could drive through it. I could go from Grady high to Peachtree where WSB TV was in 15 minutes cutting through the park.
Go to DeKalb which is just around the corner. Huge difference. Transportation is just bad, traffic bad. They had years to fix the transportation since the population boom.

HENRY W. Grady High School is in Midtown Atlanta. Where is WILLIAM E. Grady High School?
That is an error. Isn't it? Henry W. Grady is a high school in Brooklyn, NY.
OK I am ready to move to atl can someone please find some how to contact me if they have a place for rent
Atlanta is a great place to visit not to live to me. The traffic was a mess
If you live in the city traffic isn’t a problem. Traffic is only a problem for people who live in the suburbs
👍
Yuppies destroyed Piedmont Park in the late 1970s. When you could drive all through the park you could go from Grady High school to Peachtree St near Piedmont hospital in 15 minutes. The reason to close the park was so runners and bicyclist could play there. The before mentioned crowd did not want that as they ride all over the roads and get in the way of car traffic. Silver Grill closed and that was the final sign the good times are over. Peggy, the waitress there for 30 years told me in 1999 that the Yuppies used to sit in the booths for an hour and were cheap tippers. AIDs killed off many of the gay crowd who ate at the Silver and tipped well. We all tipped a dollar when the meal was less than $5, more when the price went up. Atlanta from 1970 to 1980 was a paradise for gays.
Throw a De-esser on this, my god.
Everyday there is a murder in midtown.
the roads look like charlotte

MARTA SUCKS! Atlanta will never ascend to the level of international cities like NYC and Chicago until the fix their horrid transportation infrastructure. Expanding highways is not practical!
true
I agree! I grew up in Chicago metro area and I'm so spoiled. Marta doesn't compare to Metra.
What's wrong with MARTA exactly? There just aren't enough stops?
Yes as a tourist it was convenient to take to the airport and going from midtown to downtown....other than that, there isn't much to do on the MARTA line
