Step into Ansley Park, a neighborhood that was intentionally planned to be car-friendly. It was born in 1904, the vision of Edwin P. Ansley. Edwin, along with some prominent businessmen of the time, had a dream of creating a suburb north of the city. They aimed to attract influential families with wide, winding streets and verdant parks. Their dream became a reality, making Ansley Park a haven for Atlanta’s most prestigious families for many decades. Ansley Park is a neighborhood full of history. It served as the home of Georgia’s Governor’s mansion for decades. The Ansley Park Civic Association has been a strong force in ensuring the neighborhood’s integrity and its sense of community. In 1904, Ansley Park became the first subdivision in Atlanta designed with cars in mind. This neighborhood is so special that in 2008, it was recognized as one of America’s 10 Great Neighborhoods by the American Planning Association. Ansley Park is a beautiful retreat from the city, and it’s easy to see why it’s still one of the most sought-after places to live in Atlanta.
