Historic Roots. Urban Energy.
Living in Poncey-Highland
Poncey-Highland is one of Atlanta’s most connected urban neighborhoods. Anchored by Ponce City Market, the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail, and historic commercial corridors along Ponce de Leon Avenue and North Highland Avenue, it offers a lifestyle that combines historic character with the energy of a rapidly evolving city.
Originally developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as one of Atlanta’s first streetcar suburbs, Poncey-Highland today is a blend of historic homes, condominiums, adaptive reuse projects, and modern mixed-use development. Residents enjoy immediate access to some of Atlanta’s best restaurants, independent retailers, neighborhood parks, and cultural destinations while remaining only minutes from Midtown, Virginia-Highland, Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park, and Downtown.
Few neighborhoods place so much of Atlanta within walking distance.
