Ansley Park is known as Atlanta's first suburban community in the northern section of the city, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is a very unique place...it is just off Peachtree Street in the Midtown area.  The neighborhood practically sits in the shadows of the highrises prominent in Midtown and along Peachtree.  The architecture is varied and the neighborhood wreaks of a planned community.  You find winding streets, roundabouts, neighborhood parks, beautiful homes, and overall a great place to take a stroll (or bike ride).  Enjoy Ansley Park!

^Is it the Maserati that gave it away?

^Nice landscaping and beautiful details on a fairly large house as well! Damn I love Maserati's. That shot looks like the archetypal American Dream.

If you have to live suburban, that is the way to do it. Nice set.

It's actually quite a nice urban neighborhood.  Think of Rossville in Hamilton with different architecture.

Rossville X 1000...and hardly suburban. Arguably, an ideal urban life for the very wealthy who want to be in the middle of everything (walk to the museums, theatre, work, park) yet want a yard for the kids and dog

Seems like a great area.  Nice picture set Rando.

It's definately suburban but very comfortable.

Thank you ColDay.

 

Suburban doesn't always have to be a bad word (heck, UR used it in his first sentence) and this thread only proves that point.

Pretty.  Those are some fine homes.

Urban by today's stadards, suburban by old standards. Houses are on big lots despite them being so close together.

I agree with David...suburban when they were built, urban today...Perhaps the lifestyle is suburban but it is an extremely urban environment (by Atlanta standards).

I just don't really view inner-ring suburbs as suburbs (especially by the typical definition).  I think of places like Clifton, Price Hill, Mt. Lookout, etc to be urban places/environments...even though they have large homes on somewhat large lots.

 

 

^Well, sure.

 

That was my point, if you are going to go suburban, such neighborhoods are the way to do it.

I accept your apology.

Now it's time for your apologies.
