Ayla on Krog

Inman Park has the distinction of being both Atlanta’s first planned residential suburb and its first electric trolley neighborhood. Think Victorian-style mansions on large lots, curving streets, and green parks. Today the community combines the old and the new. Just look at Inman Park’s reputation for outstanding restaurants like Barcelona, Kevin Rathbun’s, and Sotto Sotto.

The active Inman Park Neighborhood Association (IPNA) promotes community events and works to maintain and preserve the neighborhood’s history. Don’t miss the famous Inman Park Festival, which the IPNA calls “Atlanta’s most spirited and eclectic” event. If festivals aren’t your thing, this neighborhood offers plenty of local restaurants, bars, and shopping options.

The average rent in Inman Park runs at about $1700, but there’s a wide range. The neighborhood has its share of new luxury buildings, lofts, one, and two-bedroom options. Some private homes offer rooms for rent, too.
