List of Atlanta neighborhoods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of Atlanta neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are generally considered to be housing subdivisions of a city. In some cases, other layers of intervening organization exist (for example, boroughs in New York City) that may not exist in all places.

In the city of Atlanta, as well as the Atlanta Metropolitan area, there exist an intermediate level of organization, called districts or zones. The Buckhead district includes all of the city of Atlanta north of I-75/I-85, and thus it has grown to include several neighborhoods, such as Peachtree Hills and North Buckhead. The Midtown district can likewise be subdivided into neighborhoods like Ansley Park, Berkeley Park, etc. These districts are quasi-legal entities, defined by the city of Atlanta, and with some authority over zoning and taxation.

Outside the city, two additional zones exist: the Perimeter zone and the Cumberland zone. Again, these organizational entities have some taxing/zoning privileges, and overlap other boundaries. The Perimeter Zone is in the cities of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody, and also includes part of unincorporated DeKalb county (SE of I-285). The Cumberland zone includes Vinings as well as parts of unincorporated Cobb County and Smyrna.
