Neighborhoods
Located just east of downtown Atlanta, Old Fourth Ward is a dichotomy of trendy developments and, as the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s childhood home, meaningful history. Creative energy reverberates through the neighborhood as you stroll down the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail, the artery that stretches from Piedmont Park to Reynoldstown. It’s not unusual to see a muralist at work and, if you look carefully, you might spot a Tiny Door. The creativity spills over into the neighborhood’s restaurants, many considered the hottest in Atlanta, with sleek design and innovative menus. There are also hidden green spaces to explore and hip boutiques. Come hungry and wear comfortable shoes, as the neighborhood is best explored on foot.
