As part of ongoing Best of Atlanta 2024 coverage, Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tournament kicked off last week with 16 places vying for the prestige of being called the city’s greatest.
Now, for each Final Four contest, voting will be open until noon Monday. Please, let’s keep the tourney fun and positive, as one neighborhood rises above the rest in very public fashion. The quest to crown a champion resumes now!
…
(2) Inman Park
Recap:
2011 champ Inman Park showed Decatur the exit with a whopping 70 percent of votes in Round 1, and then bumped eastside neighbor Cabbagetown from the competition earlier this week.

Inarguably one of Atlanta’s most charming neighborhoods, the city’s “first planned suburb” remains a beautiful, fascinating amalgam of Victorian homes, useful greenspaces, transit/Beltline accessibility, and well-planned commercial hubs along North Highland Avenue, Krog Street, and elsewhere. For more than 50 years, Inman Park has also hosted one of the city’s best neighborhood festivals—no small feat in festival-happy ATL.
This year’s most splashy addition was the adaptive-reuse Painted Park, an expanded dining and entertainment concept borne of the old Parish space along the Eastside Trail. Elsewhere, the expansion of a 1950s complex promises to add vibrancy to Inman Park’s main commercial crossroads. Despite its attributes, Inman Park hasn’t taken the crown in one of these criteria-free contests since the very first one, 13 long years ago. Can a strong ’24 change that?
…
(3) Old Fourth Ward
Recap:
In Round 1, Old Fourth Ward escorted historic Adair Park to the door, and then edged feisty Summerhill in Elite Eight action. O4W is indeed a past champion, too—but not since 2012.

Beltline-connected Old Fourth Ward has been a hotbed of supersonic growth for what seems like ages now. As usual, O4W happenings this year were too numerous to list here, but a few highlights: Two high-rise hospitality concepts—New City’s diamond-patterned Forth hotel and the Scout Living tower over Ponce City Market—drew back their curtains in 2024, as rare for-sale condos debuted nearby at The Leon on Ponce.
Speaking of Ponce, a Complete Streets overhaul came together as an effort to improve pedestrian and bike connections between Boulevard and John Lewis Freedom Parkway. Elsewhere, the Atlanta Civic Center redo edged toward groundbreaking, and the relatively affordable evolution of Boulevard continued to rise. Nonetheless, this eastside powerhouse hasn’t claimed the (nonexistent) trophy in one of these contests for a dozen years. But could that change in ’24?

(4) East Atlanta
Recap:
East Atlanta-nah-nah-nah breezed by College Park in this tourney’s initial round. Then it banded together and edged red-hot downtown by the slimmest of margins in Elite Eight action earlier this week.
Pellerin Real Estate; designs, TSW architects
Usually a tough out in year-end neighborhood tournaments (and the overall Champion in 2016), East Atlanta garnered enough reader nominations this year to land a strong No. 4 seed. Which makes sense, given the buzz around several EAV projects this year (and what could have been the most rollicking East Atlanta Strut festival to date in September). Artist Greg Mike transformed a 1980s church in the village into a modern-gothic temple to creativity, while commendably old-school designs for mixed-use development on a small scale came to light on a vacant East Atlanta corner. Elsewhere, frequent village investors Pellerin Real Estate are bringing an infill project (see above) with dozens of new homes to a site where little more than a void in EAV’s vibrancy existed before. Not too shabby.
…
(8) West End
Recap:
Arguably the best end in town, two-time champ West End showed Poncey-Highland the door in Round 1 action, then toppled mighty Midtown (the No. 1 seed) earlier this week.
West End’s Lawton Street, as shown in 2022. Google Maps
West End notched a relatively seismic year as development proposals go. The 800-pound gorilla in that room is, of course, the redevelopment of Mall West End. After three false starts, the mall’s extreme makeover appears to have finally found its footing (with city backing) to turn 12 acres of parking lots into about 900 units of mixed-income housing, 125,000 square feet of retail (with a grocery store), and much more, beginning as soon as next year. Around the corner, an eye-catching apartment proposal has emerged near West End’s MARTA stop, while a pickleball emporium and more is in the pipeline along a new (and needed) Beltline stretch now in planning. Bonus points to West End in ’24 for joyously welcoming Atlanta Streets Alive back to SW ATL—not once, but on three different occasions.

MARTA to beef up services for 3 forthcoming, year-end events
MARTA to beef up services for 3 forthcoming, year-end events
MARTA to beef up services for 3 forthcoming, year-end events
Josh Green
Fri, 12/27/2024 – 13:31
MARTA officials are suggesting that ATL revelers not get behind the wheel and save money on ride-share services as a busy slate of year-end happenings approaches.
To help incentivize ridership, the transit system is planning to offer increased train service at stations throughout downtown, Buckhead, and elsewhere for three big events—the Peach Drop, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Parade and Game, and the Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race—starting Tuesday.
In a media announcement, MARTA warns that rail station platforms are expected to be more crowded than usual, with many newbie riders trying to find their way around. But overall the transit system is “the safest, most efficient, and most affordable way to celebrate the New Year responsibly,” as MARTA officials put it.
A quick rundown:
PEACH DROP
Tuesday, Dec. 31
The hallowed tradition of dropping a manmade, 800-pound fruit is returning to Underground Atlanta in ’24, with the first stage opening at 6 p.m. Scheduled performers include RES, Neon Trees, and legendary rapper and songwriter Big Boi.
According to MARTA, trains will run every seven minutes on the Red/Gold Lines between Lindbergh Center Station and Airport Station, and also on the Blue/Green Lines between Ashby Station and Edgewood-Candler Park Station come Tuesday.
Following the downtown party, MARTA says extra trains will go into service to accommodate revelers.

…
PEACH BOWL
Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025
This pigskin clash will pit the No. 4 seed Arizona State Sun Devils against No. 5 seed Texas Longhorns. It’s the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl’s first-ever College Football Playoff Quarterfinal game—and kind of a big deal.
To accommodate, MARTA says trains will run every seven minutes on the Red/Gold Lines between Lindbergh Center Station and Airport Station, and also on the Blue/Green Lines between Ashby Station and King Memorial Station.
After the game, expect extra trains to help move the masses.
…
POLAR OPPOSITE RACE
Saturday, Jan. 4
Starting at 8:15 a.m., this inaugural event will be just like the regular Peachtree Road Race—apart from happening in winter and in reverse, starting at Piedmont Park and finishing at Lenox Square. Up to 5,000 runners are expected.
Trains will run every seven minutes on the Red/Gold Lines between Lindbergh Center Station and Airport Station, and also on the Blue/Green Lines between Ashby Station and Candler Park Station, per MARTA. Expect extra trains after the race, too.
ALSO OF NOTE
MARTA says uniformed police and MARTA Transit Ambassadors will be posted at rail stations for assistance.
