Living in Atlanta’s Emerging Neighborhood

One great aspect about a city of Atlanta is that there is always a new up-and-coming neighborhood, and, if you are one of the fortunate few to invest in this area in the early stages of its revitalization, then you’ll experience a greater return. Currently, Oakland Park is in an ideal location for new Atlanta condo shoppers looking for a great investment because it is in the center of Atlanta’s urban revitalization district along Memorial Drive. Nicely situated between Cabbagetown and Grant Park and directly across the street from Oakland Cemetery, Oakland Park offers residents more than a prime location – it is also the first multi-family housing project in Atlanta to receive LEED Silver certification.

Being one of the first green built condo communities in Atlanta, this extraordinary community provides residents the opportunity to walk to premier shopping, dining or entertainment venues. For those who enjoy good food, fine dining can be found for every meal less than a mile from Oakland Park. This great feature really helps eliminate the stress associated with the rising gas prices. By being able to walk to your favorite restaurants, the need for a car and gas diminishes. This is also better for the environment, and supports the green lifestyle that Oakland Park promotes.

Of course there are more than just spectacular, signature Atlanta restaurants nearby. Other Atlanta attractions close to Oakland Park include Zoo Atlanta, the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, and The King Center. Outdoor activities including sports, picnics and walks can be enjoyed at nearby Grant Park, which consist of 131-acres of green space. Just across the street, historic Oakland Cemetery offers unique opportunities with several events throughout the year.

Best of all, residents of Oakland Park never have to leave the building to enjoy two of Atlanta’s most well-known establishments. Popular eatery Stella Neighborhood Trattoria and well-respected Foxgloves and Ivy are just an elevator ride away. Stella Neighborhood Trattoria is the newest creation from award-winning chef Rich Chey and features an Italian-inspired menu. Foxgloves and Ivy, originally located in the Virginia Highlands, has recently moved to Oakland Park and is the only American Institute of Floral Designers Accredited Design florist in Atlanta.
