OLD FOURTH WARD REAL ESTATE GUIDE

The Old Fourth Ward has experienced an incredible transformation in recent years and this historic, artsy neighborhood is quickly becoming the hub for foodies, shoppers, and Beltline lovers. New homes and businesses are popping up everywhere and real estate is in high demand.

NEIGHBORHOOD HIGHLIGHTS

The Old Fourth Ward is a diverse community rich in history with many beautifully restored Victorian-era and Craftsman style homes alongside commercial properties. This area played a significant part in Atlanta's history, namely as the place where Martin Luther King, Jr. was born, raised and preached.

This Intown Atlanta neighborhood has experienced quite the transformation in recent years, thanks to the Atlanta Beltline and the Ponce City Market development (formerly the old Sears & Roebuck Building).  New condo buildings, restaurants and businesses are flocking to the area and as you can imagine, home prices continue to climb.  Here are just a few quick facts about O4W:
