10 Amazing Views from Rental Apartments in Atlanta

Share this article:

Much has been said about the best restaurants and outdoor vantage points for admiring Atlanta’s amazing skyline. How about we shift perspective and move indoors?

It’s a common fact that views are a major lure for renters, and many people are willing to pay more for enjoying breathtaking panoramas of Downtown, Midtown, or Buckhead. That’s why premiere high-rise developments have built their communities around the concept of exclusivity, by choosing central locations and boasting fabulous amenities and drop dead vistas.

To enhance this experience, hefty apartment amenities such as floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies have been incorporated into the designs. Community amenities that are blessed with a vista are also extensively promoted. Take 77 12th Street for example, a sleek urban enclave. They’ve designed a dedicated “skyline viewing room with a fireplace” for their renters to enjoy, as well as a “state-of-the-art fitness center with dramatic views”. Other developments boast roof-top swimming pools or sky-deck terraces with lounge areas, where residents can socialize and admire the bold city skyline.

Do you think that superb views are available only in ultra-luxurious high-rises? No way! In a competitive rental industry, many contemporary architects and engineers strive to erect affordable units. They may be located further from the center, but some still provide unobstructed lines of sight to the city skyline. 935M is only 7-stories high, but this rental property features show-stopping vistas of the city, with rents starting at $1,070/month.

For your visual delight, we’ve put together 10 images taken from both high-rise and low-rise buildings, featuring sweeping city views as seen by some lucky Atlantan renters. So next time you’re looking for an apartment for rent in Atlanta, make sure you’re choosing one with a dreamy panorama. It’s worth every penny:
