Ansley Park was the dream of Edwin P. Ansley, who along with several prominent businessmen of the time, purchased a large plot of land north of the city from longtime owner George Washington Collier. Large expanses of lush green parks are the hallmark of this 107-year-old garden suburb, which reflects design principles espoused by Frederick Law Olmsted. The 275-acre neighborhood was designed so that no home is more than a 10-minute walk from one of 14 parks, five of which create a continuous link from northeast to southwest. Curvilinear streets with landscaped promenades are flanked by sidewalks, and the neighborhood offers stunning skyline views of Atlanta’s vibrant Midtown Business District.
