virginia-highland
The Virginia-Highland neighborhood was founded in the early 20th Century as a streetcar community. The name came from the commercial district at the intersection of Virginia and North Highland Avenues. Its bounded on the north by Morningside, east by Emory Village, on the south by Poncey-Highland and on the west by Piedmont Park and Midtown. People are drawn to this area we call the “Highlands” because of the easy walking distance to numerous galleries, trendy boutiques, ample antique and gift shops, popular bars, and good eats. The homes are situated close together on the streets but are so popular for their charming bungalow style. Nearby neighborhoods also include Morningside and Poncey-Highlands.
