A main artery of Atlanta
As one of Atlanta's oldest neighborhoods, Grant Park is a thriving upscale community steeped in history and modern comforts. This suburban enclave, built around the city's oldest public park, possesses admirable Victorian architecture southeast of downtown Atlanta and all its top attractions. The neighborhood's namesake park is one of the city's most famous landmarks, home to historic monuments, buildings and, of course, Zoo Atlanta. The location helps residents balance work, recreation and education in Atlanta for daily living. From the professional opportunities that come with living near several major corporations to the thriving culture of downtown Atlanta, Grant Park puts some of the best that Georgia has on its residents' doorsteps. Victor Rodriguez, a 7-year Realtor with Watkins Real Estate Associates, says, “It’s a safe area that has lower single-family home prices than other neighborhoods in metro Atlanta.”
The colorful Grant Park sign welcomes visitors.
Grant Park itself has many paved walkways for walking, running, and biking.

Historic homes and some new constructions in Grant Park
In 1882, buildings and homes were developing in Grant Park. The second oldest house in Atlanta, also known as the 1858 mansion of Lemuel P. Grant is in the neighborhood. There are hilltop Craftsman bungalows, newly developed townhomes, Queen Anne and Victorian styles. While the Victorian-style architecture of the neighborhood's historic sites is usually not up for sale, the available homes follow the modernistic sensibilities of nouveau southern architectural trends. Single-family homes range from $375,000 to over $1.1 million, varying by the age and remodel status. Decorative stonework, front yard footpaths and wide porches are standard features amongst well-trimmed trees and carefully cultivated lawns.

Grant Park is a true neighborhood with tree lined sidewalks, a park and easy access to downtown and the major highways. It is diverse in all ways and is growing exponentially right now.

it a great area for a family and kids to go outside and play.Our country's first black head of state has already, of course, come alive on the pages of his own books, as well as in a growing cottage industry of unauthorized portraits, from the paranoid to the all-but-exhilarated. But another, perhaps higher, test of any cultural figure's staying power is how well he fares in the realm of the purely or partly imaginative. "Grant Park," the third novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning, nationally syndicated Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts Jr., might be best understood as an early salvo in the effort to encase Barack Obama in the amber of lasting literature. The president isn't the only icon Pitts attempts to make real. The action in "Grant Park" is split between two outsize moments in the history of American race relations, a clean 40 years apart.
