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.”

Grant Park hosts the citywide attraction Zoo Atlanta

The most famous landmark and attraction of Grant Park is Zoo Atlanta, home to more than 1,000 animals and representing over 200 species. The extensive exhibits are home to an impressive range of animals, including gorillas, elephants, giraffes, red pandas and many more. Feed the giraffes, check out the wildlife presentations or bring children to the magic show for a fun day of discovery. Cradling Zoo Atlanta, Grant Park itself is Atlanta's oldest public park and one of the city's most revered historical sites. Visitors can appreciate the many historic bridges, monuments and statues that define the park's character. The crown jewel is the stunning historic façade of Savanna Hall, a highly popular venue. Apart from the views of historic landmarks and the downtown skyline, the 131-acre park features a public swimming pool, several tennis courts, pavilions, a playground and a paved trail loop. The Atlanta Preservation Center frequently holds walking tours of Grant Park's historic sites. Residents can experience a detailed and in-depth exploration of Grant Park and Oakland Cemetery.

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. "Things move pretty quickly," says Kami Brown, a 13-year Realtor with HomeSmart. "It depends on the condition of the house of course, but on average things are selling within a week."

Grant Park is known for Queen Anne homes, including the Callalyn house.

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.
