Here are ten reasons to love this ever evolving neighborhood:
1. Ponce City Market. Housed in the former Sears, Roebuck & Company building, this mixed-use development is poised to become the city's next hot spot for eating, shopping, working, and living. Modeled after Chelsea Market in New York City, Ponce City Market has already lined up top-shelf retail and restaurants to fill the massive space.
2. The Atlanta Streetcar. Atlanta's public transportation system isn't up to par with most major metropolises in America, but the Atlanta Streetcar is a good start toward getting it there. It's also rekindling a link with the city's past, when electric streetcars connected the community. The first phase of the project will link the MLK National Historic Site with Centennial Olympic Park, where further transfers can be made at the MARTA rail and bus lines.
3. The BeltLine. It started with a Georgia Tech graduate student's proposal to transform outmoded railroad tracks line into a walking and cycling path through Atlanta. Now, the BeltLine is becoming a reality. The most commonly used section is the Eastside Trail between Piedmont Park and Irwin Street, which goes past Ponce City Market. This area is home to frequent art installations, as well as restaurants with open-air seating.
4. Epic Southern Brunch. Sunday brunch is one of the things at which the South excels, and no neighborhood does it better than the Old Fourth Ward. Head to Parish or Two Urban Licks, where you can stuff your face with eggs Benedict while watching the drama unfold on the BeltLine below. Highland Bakery is the ultimate in decadence, with French toast as big as your head, while diner-chic Home Grown, on the border of Reynoldstown, serves up the best biscuits in town.
5. Edgewood Avenue Nightlife. Atlanta's young and hip used to make a beeline for Buckhead to wet their whistles, but Edgewood Avenue is fast becoming the place to find affordable dive bars with authentic ATL edge. Perhaps the best example is Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium (shortened to Church), where guests can people-watch or play table tennis while wearing choir robes. Mother is another popular bar, as is Joystick, where you can play your favorite childhood arcade games while sipping craft beers.
6. Jackson Street Bridge. Fans of The Walking Dead will immediately recognize the stretch over Freedom Parkway from the opening sequence of the show when Rick Grimes enters the abandoned city on horseback. The unassuming Jackson Street Bridge is frequently used as a backdrop for amateur photo shoots for fans and those looking for the best view of the skyline at all hours.
7. Street Art. Graffiti used to be an urban scourge; now it's being embraced as a means of transforming otherwise drab brick buildings into works of art. This is especially true in the Old Fourth Ward, with the annual Living Walls, the City Speaks conference bringing in artists from all over the U.S. to beautify streets like Edgewood Avenue, Carroll Street, and Krog Street Tunnel.
8. Local Markets. Sweet Auburn Curb Market, established in the aftermath of the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917, is where generations of locals have gone to purchase fresh food. Dozens of restaurant stalls--notably Bell Street Burritos, Arepa Mia, and Grindhouse Killer Burgers--have also opened up. The Freedom Farmers Market takes a more traditional approach, setting up Saturdays in the parking lot of the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum (one of Georgia's native sons). Pick up produce and meats from local farmers, as well as baked goods, fresh pasta, and ready-to-eat fare.
9. History: Poncey-Highland is one of Atlanta's oldest areas. That's why developers are taking pains to preserve that heritage while giving historical--but dilapidated--buildings new identities in the modern age. Ponce City Market is a prime example of this, as is the Masquerade, a popular indoor-outdoor music venue that occupies the old Dupre Excelsior Mill complex. Get a taste of what the neighborhood looked like before gentrification began in full force by touring the Sweet Auburn Historic District.
10. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!!!!!
Close to everything in city, easy access to highway. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for us. Very clean house with nice fenced backyard. Would stay here again in future.
This property has it all! Would definitely recommend it to friends!
The property was spacious and comfortable. The location is close to literally everything; shopping, dining etc. The kitchen is fully equipped. Couldn't ask for anything more. We'll be back next year!
A short stay, but the house is very comfortable and we'll equipped. Close to midtown Atlanta and in a beautiful suburb. The owner is very responsive. Highly recommend.
The place was very nice, spacious,and clean. The location is perfect.
Poncey Highland is convenient to everything in Atlanta. Zach was responsive to any questions that arose . Pack your bags!
We can't say enough about our fabulous stay in Atlanta, at Zach's Place. We really wish Zach had more locations in other cities, because we would vacation in every one. He set up our reservation quickly and effortlessly, which made it so easy. I gave Zach a call and he would pick up without any delay. He gave thorough information regarding the property and didn't have a dictionary size book of instructions or rules. We felt completely at home and were welcomed graciously. The house is simply terrific, there was so much space to enjoy both inside and out. We were spoiled with having both the adorable entryway patio, where you could watch the neighborhood come and go, as well as, the huge deck off the back, where you can see the nearby park and it's visitors. We never ate in the dining room because the kitchen was such a great gathering place, we actually hung out there the most. There is a fantastic sun room off the kitchen, where you can relax, if you don't want to actually sit outside.The neighborhood is so hip and trendy, everything you need is within a quick walking distance. Or you can easily rent a bike or a scooter (what a blast by the way, it's like right out of Back to the Future, just grab a scooter on any street or corner, download the app, and you're on your way and leave it wherever you want to stop.) and get where ever you want to go, even faster. There is a Publix, Rite Aid, Pizza Jointsss, Mexican joint, excellent Brunch and Sports Bars, coffee shops, and of course the ever popular Beltline (which has so many places to choose from, I don't know even know where to start. Except that, you have to go to the 9 Mile Station Beer Garden at the top, the view is phenomenal, especially at sunset, it is very smart to get there around 5 pm or you'll have to stand in a serious line to get up there.) Zach is very informative with all of the inner workings of Atlanta and can give you suggestions for anything and everything that you want to do. We brought our two labs with us and even they had a great time. This is such a dog friendly atmosphere, most casual restaurants allow dogs, so it is easy to bring your dogs with you.There is such a warm and welcoming feeling when you stay at Zach's Place that you really won't want to leave! Get ready to have a spectacular time! You were right Zach, we will be back!!!
This is only my second time staying in an air bnb/vrbo property. Zach provided a great experience! He was so responsive. The house was perfect for a girls weekend. Soo close to everything! I would highly recommend staying at this house if you get the opportunity too.
This place is super clean! Just as advertised and close to everything. Many places are in walking distance. Well decorated with a classic yet modern twist. Beds are comfy and plenty of space for more air mattresses and a pull out couch. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to prepare any meal which we did several times. Zach communicated with us well and helped with any questions. We may be coming back next year and can't wait to stay again!
What a place, what a stay!!! I can't say enough good things about my stay here! The location is perfect---I parked my car when I got there and didn't have to get in it again! There is a grocery store walking distance, as well as countless bars and restaurants. The neighborhood is smack-dab in the middle of everything---literally. It borders the hip neighborhoods of Old 4th Ward, Midtown, Virginia Highlands, Inman Park, Little 5 Points, and Druid Hills. If you don't want to drive, it's a quick and cheap $5 Uber ride to any of theses places! The property itself is in immaculate condition! Zach has done an incredible job restoring the house to it's original 1930 era look, while decorating and furnishing the place with a modern accent and character. All of the original artwork adds such a unique feel to the property, I felt like I was staying in a one-of-a-kind museum! The beds, pillows, and bedding are all extremely comfortable and lush. We all slept like babies in a deep slumber. The kitchen is fully stocked with EVERYTHING a good cook needs. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming as well. If you're looking at other properties in Atlanta, look no further---THIS IS THE PLACE YOU WANT TO STAY. Thanks so much Zach, I will DEFINITELY be coming back!!!
