Midtown Atlanta

Midtown Atlanta is a neighborhood between Downtown and Buckhead featuring modern office towers, apartment buildings, hotels, and shops mainly along Peachtree Street. The area houses many museums, theaters, and cultural institutions that make it a major arts center for the region.

The neighborhood began developing in the 1840s after Richard Peters bought land in the southern area and built a residential community. During the 20th century, it transformed into a modern business and cultural center with tall buildings and major institutions.

The neighborhood has become a center for artists and the LGBTQ community, visible in galleries, clubs, and local gathering spots. This character shapes daily life and makes the area a meeting point for people seeking creative and welcoming spaces.

The area is easy to reach with several MARTA rail stations offering direct connections to other parts of the city. Most streets are walkable, and there are many options for dining, shopping, and sightseeing.

The area is home to one of the region's largest natural foods markets, a massive supermarket much bigger than typical stores. This special place draws people daily and has become an attraction in itself for visitors and residents.
