Bag om Virginia-Highland

One of Atlantas most desirable neighborhoods, Virginia-Highland enjoys a rich history, a diverse urban fabric, and a distinct sense of place. In the early days, city folk escaped from downtown to appreciate the springs and cool breezes of higher elevations. In the 1920s, clusters of subdivisions created affordable homes in which city workers could live. The community suffered a period of decline in the mid-20th century due to the impact of integration and a planned highway that would cut through the neighborhood. After the highway was halted by community activists, young professionals and families began to move back into the city, renovating houses and embracing in-town living. Many historic structures, coupled with the eclectic business activity and unpretentious culture, have influenced the identity of Virginia-Highland.
