Inman Park

 

 

Inman Park is a trendy neighborhood known for being Atlanta's first planned suburb and its first electric trolly neighborhood. In the 1970s, Inman Park underwent extensive restoration and revitalization. Today, Inman Park is filled with Victorian-style mansions on expansive lots, curving streets, and lush green parks. The community beautifully combines the old and the new, with historic homes alongside modern-day buildings. It also has a reputation for excellent restaurants, cafes, wine bars, colorful art, and vibrant nightlife.

Inman Park has everything you'd expect from Atlanta, such as friendly Southern hospitality, mouthwatering food, and a thriving nightlife scene. It also has very high walkability score. Its location near Emory University and Georgia State University makes Inman Park ideal for commuting students. A key benefit for residents is the traditional community feel the neighborhood exudes.
