The Grant Park Guide
Grant Park is Atlanta's oldest city park and the neighborhood that grew up around it, a leafy intown district southeast of downtown. Zoo Atlanta sits inside the park, and the surrounding streets hold some of the city's best-preserved Victorian homes.
It is a family-friendly neighborhood with a strong sense of community, anchored by the park, the zoo, and the historic Oakland Cemetery at its northern edge.

What it is like to live in Grant Park
Grant Park is a mix of restored Victorian and Craftsman homes near the park, bungalows, and newer infill, with a strong family and community feel. It is a short drive or a BeltLine ride from downtown, and the trade-off is the older housing stock and the parking. Verify the school line and the county for any address before you commit.
