Morningside / Lenox Park — 8.5/10 Rating (based on 4 neighborhood reviews)
I love the walkability of the neighborhood behind the apartment complex. It is a super cute, family neighborhood that I always feel safe in. The apartment is on a super main road in Atlanta which means like any part of the city it can feel busy! But the second you get off Piedmont (walk 2 minutes) into the neighborhood, it is super calm. I love the easy drive to Buckhead, Midtown, Piedmont Park and Campus!

Morningside is close enough to the nightlife (Highlands/Midtown and even Buckhead) and the office districts without being negatively effected by all of the traffic/commotion.

We love the neighborhood. There are two great restaurants (Little Rey and Grindhouse) directly across the street. Piedmont and Cheshire Bridge are not the nicest streets, but the more residential streets behind those main rounds are great neighborhoods to go on walks, etc.
