Meet the Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024 tourney Final Four!

After nearly 3,000 votes and several dramatic matches, the Elite Eight in Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tourney is officially in the books.
Which means it’s time, Atlanta, to meet your 2024 Final Four!
These four contestants are still alive in the quest to claim everlasting Best Neighborhood glory (for at least a year) as determined by the voting public—in very public fashion. The only criteria is that you vote for the place you feel is doing it right, right now.
Reader nominations determined the field of 16 contestants earlier this month.
The four left standing include typically strong contenders (West End, East Atlanta) and intown powerhouses (Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward) whose performances in recent years have left something to be desired.
But who will fully prevail this year, rising up to claim the crown? The Final Four contests will open Friday (that’s tomorrow, y’all).
Those will be followed by the Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024 Championship early next week.
Thanks again to all who’ve participated. Now, onward!
…
The hallowed pantheon of Best Atlanta Neighborhood tournament winners:
2011: Inman Park
2012: Old Fourth Ward
2013: Kirkwood
2014: Reynoldstown
2015: West End
2016: East Atlanta
2017: West End (again)
2018-2020: (forced hiatus)
2021: Mozley Park
2022: Avondale Estates
2023: Hapeville
2024: TBD

Now here’s an antidote for the chilly doldrums of winter.
Renderings have recently come to our attention that depict another student-housing tower in Midtown as a collegiate Shangri-La, with rooftop pool parties, yoga classes, bustling social zones—and not a study group in sight.
The visuals by Atlanta-based Niles Bolton Associates architects aren’t exactly new, but they show in the greatest detail to date what’s in store for Rambler Atlanta, one of a half-dozen Midtown high-rises to top out in 2024 and a reflection of the subdistrict’s surging off-campus population.
According to Midtown Alliance’s recent tabulations, some 8,500 of Midtown’s current 28,000 residents are college students attending Georgia Tech, SCAD Atlanta, Emory University, Georgia State University, and other area schools.
Rambler Atlanta, the second local project by Texas developer LV Collective, rose quickly this year from a Peachtree Street corner two blocks north of the landmark Fox Theatre

Today, the 736 Peachtree St. development, which modified its height twice before breaking ground, stands 19 stories on a former parking lot. Rambler Atlanta will count 214 apartments and 2,977 square feet of retail space, according to building permit records.
The name echoes another LV Collective project, Rambler ATX, in the developer’s home city of Austin.
Rambler’s 1-acre property had long been used as surface parking bounded by Peachtree Street, 4th Street, and to the west, Cypress Street. Under construction now are student apartments offering 798 bedrooms total, with most amenities positioned on the top floor.
The location, as developers have noted, is less than a quarter-mile from Georgia Tech buildings at Tech Square.

Renderings indicate a café with outdoor dining will be recessed into the building, facing Peachtree Street, with exposed pillars and garden-like components, as opposed to glass storefronts. The building’s resident lobby and leasing office will also be placed near Peachtree, at the corner of 4th Street, according to site plans.
Building amenities will include coworking spaces and bike lockers on lower levels, with the pool deck, fitness center, and an outdoor terrace positioned on or near the roof, according to architects.
Meanwhile, the western face along Cypress Street will see no active uses—apart from a resident entrance that will put student renters closer to Tech and shuttle routes. The rest of that façade will be used for loading and service areas, essentially forming the tower’s backside.
Elsewhere, plans call for screening a 134-space, three-level parking garage with a perforated masonry wall, a means to help hide the deck.
The Rambler building is expected to deliver in time for the fall semester in August, according to project leaders. Michael Hsu Architecture and Archie Bolden are also listed as partners.
The project will join three other student towers that delivered in Midtown in 2023 alone, with much more in the pipeline. Deliveries last year included another LV Collective venture, Whistler, the final building in SCAD Atlanta’s recent growth spurt, and Hub Atlanta.

When initially presented to the Midtown Development Review Committee in 2022, LV Collective’s plans for the Peachtree site called for a building standing much taller: 37 stories with 480 apartments. That was later reduced to 29 stories and 374 units. Then in summer 2023, the height and unit count were scaled back again to the current size, though development officials haven’t provided answers as to why.
Swing up to the gallery for more Rambler Atlanta images and context—no student ID required.

In a city and metro built on growth, there’s nary a dull year. From the boomtown that is Alpharetta and skies over Midtown to sleepy Senoia, 2024 hardly disappointed.
Closing out our fourth year of coverage, it’s time to reflect on what Urbanize Atlanta readers found most interesting across the year that was. The results couldn’t be more random, with topics ranging from interstate rail prospects, lofty skyscrapers, and celebrity architecture to indefatigable suburban growth. (A lot of interest in the state of Atlanta’s ’burbs, this year, in fact.)
Without further ado, presented below are our most popular stories of 2024, based on overall number of reads in descending order:
…
No. 10
Revisiting the awe-inspiring proposal for Atlanta’s tallest building
A skyscraper taller than Bank of America Plaza, lording over Underground Atlanta? “I do think the project is still possible,” the architect told us in January.
How the Union Tower building could have appeared from elevated MARTA tracks near Grant Park and Sweet Auburn. eightvillage
…
No. 9
Avalon-style megaproject rebrands as groundwork barrels ahead
Proof that 1,500 proposed homes will move the needle anywhere.
…
No. 8
Second metro Atlanta IKEA (sort of) on tap to open this week
August saw huge interest in this Alpharetta retail news—despite the lack of Swedish meatballs.
…
No. 7
Developer sheds light on tallest Atlanta project in decades, now rising
Because 60 stories of new construction in Midtown by the Rockefeller Group can’t be boring.
A rough, in-house approximation of how the 730-foot building will stand out among other newer construction near West Peachtree Street. Urbanize Atlanta
…
No. 6
Images: Centennial Yards unveils next phase for Atlanta’s Gulch
The first glimpse at downtown’s new “center of gravity” as the 2026 FIFA World Cup nears.
…
No. 5
Huge project pitched for town ‘Walking Dead’ made famous
Naysaying reader comment: “The charm of little Senoia is being butchered by developers.”
…
No. 4
Outside Atlanta, ‘Walking Dead’ star’s sweet modern estate for sale
Down in Serenbe, Norman Reedus’ Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired compound caught the eye of zombie enthusiasts in February. It’s still for sale today—but $600,000 cheaper.

…
No. 3
Images: Suwanee is building a rather amazing new downtown park
Combine dazzling greenspace design with a buzzy city center in Georgia’s second most-populated county—and voila!
(Note: This project also had the year’s 10th most-read story, but we’re combing both here.)

Here now, our top 10 most popular stories of 2024

In a city and metro built on growth, there’s nary a dull year. From the boomtown that is Alpharetta and skies over Midtown to sleepy Senoia, 2024 hardly disappointed.
Closing out our fourth year of coverage, it’s time to reflect on what Urbanize Atlanta readers found most interesting across the year that was. The results couldn’t be more random, with topics ranging from interstate rail prospects, lofty skyscrapers, and celebrity architecture to indefatigable suburban growth. (A lot of interest in the state of Atlanta’s ’burbs, this year, in fact.)
Without further ado, presented below are our most popular stories of 2024, based on overall number of reads in descending order:
…

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 this Elite Eight contest, voting will be open until 3 p.m. Thursday, allowing anyone to chime in who’s currently traveling or enduring family. 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!
…
(1) Midtown
Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
Like no other place right now—or across the past decade, for that matter—No. 1 seed Midtown exemplifies Atlanta’s roaring ’20s boom, as our aerial photo essays have relayed throughout the year. In just the past year, the district has packed on another 2,200 residences, as recently tabulated by Midtown Alliance. The tallest building to rise from Atlanta’s red dirt since Bill Clinton was president is currently climbing over Midtown’s West Peachtree Street. Lest we forget the leafy, stately Garden District in the shadow of glowing skyscrapers—and hands down one of the best urban parks in America.
Nonetheless, Midtown has a spotty track record in Neighborhood of the Year brackets, including a Round 1 knockout against 13-seed Adair Park in 2021 action. Surprisingly, Midtown has never won the non-existent trophy in these contests, either. Here’s a rundown of just a fraction of what’s happening in Midtown these days. But it begs the eternal question: Does all this activity make for the best actual neighborhood around? We’ll see.
…
(8) West End
The most recent proposed redevelopment of parking lots at Oak and Dunn streets.
Prusik Group/BRP Companies; One West End
As the only two-time Neighborhood of the Year champion in Atlanta history, West End notched a relatively seismic year as major 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.
Just 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.

(2) Inman Park

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, way back in 2011. Can a strong ’24 change that?
…
(7) Cabbagetown
A typically quaint Cabbagetown street. Google Maps
As proven in its decisive Round 1 triumph over mighty Buckhead, Cabbagetown’s diminutive size shouldn’t be underestimated, because its sense of pride is so enormous. On the sensible urban-planning front, this year saw a two-way, protected cycle track added through Cabbagetown that provides a better connection to both the Beltline’s Eastside Trail and west toward downtown.
Otherwise, apart from infrastructure fixes in the Krog Street Tunnel, major changes in Cabbagetown were as few and far between as actual homes for sale. (Precisely two C-town houses are on the market right now, both of them priced north of $730,000.) That speaks to the charming neighborhood’s cachet—and locals’ unwillingness to leave.

Hallelujah! As year ends, almost all Beltline is under construction or open

Hallelujah! As year ends, almost all Beltline is under construction or open

For anyone who’s been patronizing the Atlanta Beltline, reporting on it, or just generally following along for the past decade and a half (hand raised), a year-end statistic that’s being promoted by the Atlanta Beltline Partnership could be both shocking and deeply satisfying:
Right now, 85 percent of the Beltline’s mainline trail—that storied 22-mile loop—is either open to the public or actively under construction.
Beltline leaders were saying as far back as fall 2023, if not earlier, those progress statistics would be reality come the end of 2024. They were correct, at least by their own estimates.
How’d this come to be?
Like every year from the pandemic on, the Beltline opened key sections of trail in 2024, such as almost half of Westside Trail Segment 4 and the immediate hit among walkers, joggers, and cyclists that was the Northeast Trail’s full connection through Piedmont Park.
The latest Beltline Northeast Trail section to open, in relation to Piedmont Park’s dog park. Photo by LoKnows Drones; courtesy of Atlanta Beltline Inc.
Meanwhile, significant groundbreakings in 2024 included the first Beltline segment between Lindbergh and Peachtree Street (with a sweet suspension bridge) and the Southside Trail’s final, nearly 2-mile section to see construction. The latter will be a crucial link between eastern and western sections of the city south of Interstate 20.
Looking ahead to the new year, 2025 is scheduled to see:
- The full opening of Westside Trail Segment 4 (springtime);
- The debut of Southside Trail Segments 4 and 5 between Glenwood Park/Grant Park and Boulevard (sometime next fall—delayed by “underground utility challenges”);
- Opening of Northwest Trail Segment 5, a .7-mile section extending toward Buckhead from Marietta Boulevard and Huff Road (next fall);
- Groundbreaking for the proposed “jewel” that Westview’s versatile, 8-acre Enota Park project could become (first quarter 2025).
What else, dear Atlantans, are you looking forward to as the calendar flips to a fresh year?
