Take I-85 N from N Terminal Pkwy. At Williams St NW take exit 250 (I-75N\/I-85N) Exit 10<sup>th<\/sup> St. NW to Midtown and you\u2019ve arrived. The neighborhood is very close to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/\">Georgia Institute of Technology<\/a>, Piedmont Park, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/atlantabg.org\">Atlanta Botanical Garden<\/a>. It&#8217;s neighbored by Old Fourth Ward to the North and Virginia Highland to the East which are just some of the other popular neighborhoods in the area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>History of Midtown, Atlanta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Parts of the area now known as Midtown were purchased by Richard Peters in 1848. He used the pine forest there for fuel for his flour mill in downtown Atlanta. Peters eventually subdivided sections of land lots that would later be sold and used for residential development. After the American Civil War, 10<sup>th<\/sup> Street became a shantytown. This led to many vagrants and burglars in the area, but once Atlanta began growing outward from the city center, mansions started sprouting up along Peachtree Street and around the 10<sup>th<\/sup> Street area. Eventually, the undesirable vagrants and thieves left and the area began to prosper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-111269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2019\/09\/Midtown-001.2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2019\/09\/Midtown-001.2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2019\/09\/Midtown-001.2.jpg?resize=500,281 500w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2019\/09\/Midtown-001.2.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2019\/09\/Midtown-001.2.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until Colony Square, a large commercial development was built between 1969 and 1973 that the people and landscape of Midtown started shifting. During the \u201880s public transportation began to spread with the opening of a MARTA station. It was also during this time that the older properties were demolished and new commercial and residential developments began to be constructed. In the 2000s, developers shifted their attention mainly towards building many new high-rise offices, condos and mix-use developments, which included numerous retail stores. This brought in an influx of affluent residents eager to call Midtown home.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transportation in Midtown, Atlanta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>MARTA services the Midtown Atlanta area at the North Avenue, Arts Center, Midtown, MARTA stations. MARTA buses also operate on a full schedule throughout Midtown.
