As the Atlanta population continues to grow resulting in longer commute times for residents in its suburbs, the demand for in-town properties has risen considerably. Communities inside of Interstate 285, near other major interstates and minutes away from Downtown Atlanta have become real estate hotspots. Whether it's a townhome in one of Atlanta's revitalized urban neighborhoods, or a condo in the downtown area, more and more Atlanta residents are scooping up properties closer to the heart of the city.
Many suburbanites that made the move into the city for shorter commute times did so begrudgingly, not wanting to give up the amenities of suburban living. However, it wasn't long before they discovered that in-town living presents a wealth of amenities that rival those of the suburbs. New residential development trends reflect Atlanta residents' desires to buy homes in communities where they can live, work and play. While in-town residents have forgone larger homesites and spacious backyards, they are now just a short distance away, some within walking distance, from Atlanta's most heralded restaurants, boutiques, theaters and other popular entertainment venues. Not to mention, Atlanta's in-town properties are known for their cosmopolitan style, awesome upgrades and luxurious offerings, making the move inside the perimeter a triumphant win-win situation for many former suburbanites.
From Buckhead to downtown, builders are developing must-see properties that are luring potential homebuyers inside Atlanta's perimeter. 10 Terminus, one of Atlanta's most stunning new developments, is located in the heart of Buckhead and is perfect for the sophisticated, style-conscious buyer who treasures the finer things in life. Towering above the corner of Peachtree Road and Piedmont Road, one of the city's most popular intersections, it's not just the location that makes this development prime real estate. In addition to high-end boutiques and fine dining located on the property and within walking distance, luxurious amenities such as the saltwater spa, VIP room service and concierge service are sure to make residents feel like royalty. At the end of a day of dining, shopping and being pampered, residents can wind down while taking in awe-inspiring views of the sun setting over the Atlanta skyline from their floor-to-ceiling windows.
10 Terminus isn't the only development that promises great views. The twin 39-story towers overlooking West Peachtree Street known as Twelve Centennial Park promise residents the perfect escape to enjoy scenes of the city below.

But while upscale, urban living has become the latest real estate trend in Atlanta, the hustle and bustle of the city isn't for everyone. While some homebuyers desire the convenience of in-town living, they don't want to forgo the look and feel of suburban real estate. Not to worry, there are lots of Atlanta properties in-town that cater to those buyers as well. Vinings on the Chattahoochee is an in-town community featuring single-family homes and townhomes offering the best of both worlds. Residents will appreciate the proximity to Downtown Atlanta and access to the shopping, dining and entertainment that the location provides, with the feel of living outside of the city.
