Hundreds and hundreds of voters have spoken. Blowouts, relatively close contests, and exactly zero upsets have ensued.
And now, Round 1 in Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tourney is officially in the books.
Atlanta, meet the contenders left standing:
These eight winners 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 neighborhoods earlier this month.)
The eight competitors left standing represent a wide, eclectic swath of the ITP universe. Which one shall prevail, rising up to claim the 2024 crown?
The Elite Eight contests will open very soon. Get ready.
Note: The Final Four and Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024 Championship will come next week. Thanks again to all who’ve participated (1,800+ votes and counting). 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

What’s up with that large construction site in Oakhurst Village?

What’s up with that large construction site in Oakhurst Village?

Anyone who’s visited the happening little Decatur district that is Oakhurst Village lately may have done a double-take at a construction site that’s seemingly half the size of the commercial district itself.
No, it’s not a mixed-use complex on a residential street or an expansion of the Oakhurst Village shopping center—home to Sceptre Brewing Arts, FitWit, and Oakhurst Market—next door.
It’s actually three separate projects happening simultaneously, all of them bringing rather large single-family homes.
Construction on the three contiguous Oakhurst Village sites this week, as seen looking toward Sceptre Brewing Arts next door. Josh Green/Urbanize Atlanta
Until recently, the deep lots in question—614, 618, and 622 East Lake Drive—were home to three modest, older houses in a variety of architectural styles.
A couple of years ago, Parkland Communities had put together plans to consolidate the lots and build a node of 34 townhomes (with two or three bedrooms above one-car garages). Those plans were abandoned after being rejected by Decatur city planners several times.
What’s moving forward now is also purely residential, but would add far fewer units (and people) to the increasingly tony street.

Starting from the west, farthest from the shopping center, the home projects are by Robert Koch Designs, Wesley Knapp of Keller Knapp Realty (owner), and next to Sceptre brewery, longtime Oakhurst builder Arlene Dean Quality Homes and designer Rawlings Design, according to Koch.
Koch recently shared preliminary plans for what his company is planning to build at 614 East Lake Drive: a four-bedroom, four and ½ bathroom traditional-style house with an office in 3,180 square feet.
Features will include a “large wraparound porch fashioned to give the initial feel of a Craftsman four-square,” Koch noted. “The project could have been much, much bigger, but the client wanted their home to stay on the more reasonable side.”

The home in the middle (618 East Lake Drive) was most recently torn down.
Meanwhile, on the easternmost lot within three easy stumbles of Sceptre, Rawlings was more guarded with what’s in store, citing homeowner privacy.
“I will say that I have seven other projects on that block between the village and 3rd Avenue that range in style between very modern and very traditional,” Rawlings noted via email. “It won’t be as modern or traditional as the others.”

Construction is clearly ramping up on the people-friendly makeover of a Midtown street that will help create a safer crosstown route and connections to other bike and pedestrian infrastructure projects.
The 5th Street Complete Street will span about ½ mile from Williams Street near the Connector in Tech Square to Myrtle Street in Midtown’s residential Garden District.
Before hitting snags, the $3-million project was once expected to break ground in 2022 and open last year.
This week, construction crews left no doubt the 5th Street makeover has reached blocks nearest to Georgia Tech. Street resurfacing is underway, cycle track lanes are taking shape, and ADA pavers, a raised pedestrian walkway, and a bus stop ramp are being installed.

According to Midtown Alliance, 5th Street is already one of Atlanta’s most popular multimodal thoroughfares. Planned upgrades call for infill street trees to protect bike lanes, upgraded ADA ramps and crosswalks, better lighting, a new traffic signal at Williams Street, and a full repaving and re-striping of the street.
Added bonus: The 5th Street project will cross both the Juniper Street (southbound) and Piedmont Avenue (northbound) Complete Street projects in the pipeline in other parts of Midtown, creating a much broader network of multimodal connectivity in the district.
The 5th Street upgrades will also be at the doorstep of Tech Square’s third phase, a mixed-use high-rise that’s climbing between Spring and West Peachtree streets now.
No work on 5th Street is expected to take place over a Christmas break next week, per Midtown Alliance.

Painted bike lanes and other work along 5th Street began earlier this year as part of the infrastructure project. Midtown Alliance has estimated the project will take 16 months to complete, meaning it should be fully wrapped by next summer.
Midtown Alliance awarded the project’s construction contract to low-bidder Hasbun Construction in November last year.
Funding for the project came from a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank/SRTA state grant, City of Atlanta TSPLOST 1.0 coffers, and Midtown Improvement District funds.

Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024, 1st round: (1) Midtown vs. (16) Candler Park

As part of ongoing Best of Atlanta 2024 coverage, Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tournament is kicking off with 16 places vying for the prestige of being called the city’s greatest. (Note: Seeding from 1 to 16 was determined by reader nominations this month—so no pitchforks, please.)
For each Round 1 contest, voting will be open for just 24 hours. Please, let’s keep the tourney fun and positive, as one neighborhood rises above the rest in very public fashion. The eliminations begin now!
…
(1) Midtown

Enter: 2024’s Goliath.
Yes, folks, it’s fitting that Atlanta’s epicenter of high-rise development, high-profile job growth, and sheer physical change has taken the pole position in this year’s tournament, as determined by reader nominations. Like no other place right now—or across the past decade, for that matter—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. And the tallest building to rise from Atlanta’s red dirt since Bill Clinton was president is currently climbing over Midtown’s West Peachtree Street. Enough said?
Nonetheless, Midtown has a spotty track record in these contests, including a Round 1 knockout against 13-seed Adair Park in 2021 action. Surprisingly, it’s 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 action make for the best actual neighborhood around?
…
(16) Candler Park

Shockingly, Candler Park is making its Best Atlanta Neighborhood tourney debut this year, having finally tallied enough nominations to enter the big criteria-free dance. Home to rollicking festivals and coveted school options, this leafy little ’hood is one of Atlanta’s best places to simply take a walk—or to stumble home from Little Five Points next door.
Candler Park counts restaurants both trendy and stalwart (hello, Fox Bros.), too many artfully restored bungalows to count, no shortage of free-thinking city dwellers, and that glorious, eponymous park, which was one of Coca-Cola magnate Asa Candler’s many gifts to the city. And as of October, Candler Park is also home to one of the city’s most mind-blowingly awesome playgrounds, a $1-million affair designed by top architecture firm Perkins + Will. Proof that halcyon times for ATL kids continue.
