Head north on Highland Avenue past the Virginia Highland neighborhood, east of Ansley Park and West of Druid Hills, and you’ll find historic Morningside, one of Atlanta’s “walkable neighborhoods.”
Morningside, located in the city of Atlanta and Fulton County, offers lots of character; it is often called Morningside/Lenox Park because of the two neighborhoods’ proximity to one another. The neighborhood was founded in 1931, and the majority of homes were built between 1918 and 1935. The community features beautiful, tree-lined streets with restored Craftsman, Four-Square and Tudor-style homes. Morningside Park also has strong public schools. Children here attend Morningside Elementary School, David T. Howard (formerly Inman) Middle School and Grady High School. Several private schools are also located nearby.
Morningside offers a popular nearby commercial district, with shops and restaurants, as well as the locally famous Alon’s Bakery, a European-style bakery that has been open since 1992.
Residents in the area enjoy the Morningside Nature Preserve, which has more than 30 acres of natural green space. You’ll also find trails in the Daniel Johnson Nature Preserve, a 25-acre wooded area located on the south end of Herbert Taylor Park near Beach Valley Road. And if you want to walk through the Morningside neighborhood itself, the hilly streets will give you a great workout.
