Third place for the best neighborhood in Atlanta is Midtown, located north of downtown Atlanta. It wasn't always the booming hub that it is today. Back in the 70s and 80s, it started to crumble. Luckily, the local government picked up on it and started fixing the problem. The result? One of the sweetest slices of authentic life in the Big Peach.

Midtown offers everything you can imagine, from vibrant city life to the peace and quiet at leafy Piedmont Park. There are museums and tons of galleries for you to experience the arts' epicenter that Midtown is. All these entertainment options give it a five out of five in Nightlife and Entertainment.

As if there weren't enough peach references in Atlanta, your main hub in Midtown will be Peachtree Street. In it, you'll find comedy bars, big-name shops, and an array of eating options for you to find your next favorite dish–getting a well-deserved perfect score in Shopping and Restaurants.

This area is ideal for art lovers; you'll have the High Museum of Art, where you'll be in for a treat, knowing that not the art on display is just as epic as the striking modern building it's in. Psst, are you a 'Gone with the Wind' fan? The Margaret Mitchell House offers tours of the former home of the novelist!

It's worth noting that not everything is perfect in Midtown. The traffic can be a nightmare–with all that this area has to offer, this part of town is bound to get busy. Just relax, get your favorite audiobook, and leave on time!

Midtown is definitely a place for those who enjoy city life, with its hustle and bustle, but with the greatness that Atlanta has to offer–trees, street art, and chill city vibes.
