Known to other areas in America as “the NYC of the South,” Atlanta is also well known for its array business, arts, and architecture. With such a lively sense of culture throughout the city, why wouldn’t anyone want to live here? Since its founding in 1847, the capital of Atlanta has grown exceptionally. Although it experienced a great number of ups and downs over the past 200 years, notably during the American Civil War and Civil Rights movements of the 1960s, Atlanta has remained a stable home to many in the Southeast.
Generally, we refer to Downtown Atlanta as anywhere inside the perimeter (that is, within the circumference of Interstate-285). There are many individual neighborhood or districts within those parameters, however; some of which include:
Midtown
Buckhead
Old Fourth Ward
Grant Park
Virginia-Highland
Little Five Points
Druid Hills
There is so much to do all over Atlanta, that it would be impossible to name them all right here. From all the year-round festivals and events, to the amazing professional sports programs and teams for Atlanta, there is always something to do. The physical expanse of Atlanta is 134.0 square miles, with a population density of about 463,878 people per square mile.
