About Inman Park
Inman Park is Atlanta's oldest planned suburb — the 1890s development that became the model for Atlanta's in-town residential character, fell into decline, was saved by preservationists in the 1970s, and has been one of the city's most coveted addresses ever since. The Victorian mansions along Elizabeth Street and Edgewood Avenue and the Craftsman bungalows on the quieter residential streets represent some of Atlanta's finest historic residential stock.
The BeltLine's Eastside Trail along Inman Park's southern and eastern boundary has added a new dimension to the neighborhood's community social fabric — the trail creates a shared community space where neighbors become part of the same walking, running, and cycling network. That network amplifies every service provider recommendation: a detailer mentioned positively on the BeltLine reaches people who are already engaged with their community and primed to act on trusted peer introductions.
