Atlantic Station is one of Atlanta’s newer and most active communities. Planned with retail, office, green and living spaces, and located along 17th Street between the Downtown Connector and Northside Drive, this neighborhood is ideal for professionals to empty-nesters who want to make the most of their surroundings. Home buyers will find newer construction single family homes, townhomes, condos and high-rises boasting some of the best views in the city! Located on 138 acres of the former Atlantic Steel Mill site which closed in 1970, the Atlantic Station project started in 1997 with the goal of reducing urban sprawl and increasing energy efficiency, encouraging residents to live where they work and play. The development was recognized by the EPA, receiving the Phoenix Award as the Best National Brownfield Redevelopment in 2004, and the Sierra Club’s 2005 America’s Best New Development Projects. In addition, access to public transportation and interstate access is easily accessible with Atlantic Station being located near the I-75/85 Downtown Connector.
