Parks & Nature

Piedmont park is the largest park in Atlanta and is centrally located in Midtown just one mile north of Downtown. It's the perfect place to go for a relaxing walk, jog, or picnic. On Saturday mornings, there is a farmer's market near the twelfth street entrance and on most weekends in the spring, and summer, you'll find some sort of event or festival going on. It's the Central Park of Atlanta!

Arts & Culture

Ponce City Market is an old Sears warehouse and retail store that has been re-purposed for shopping, dining, living, and working. The renovators of the 2.1 million square foot brick building have left an impressive amount of the building's original industrial character. You can access Ponce directly from the Belt Line (which we recommend!) or pay a small fee to park. Popular shops include: J Crew, Anthropologie, Lulu Lemon, Citizen Supply (local artisan marketplace), H+F Burger, Mercury (bar), & Dancing Goats (coffee).
