20 apartments for rent in Memorial Park, Atlanta, GA

The area surrounding Atlanta Memorial Park is one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods, as the park itself is one of the major landmarks in the Atlanta area. Located on Northside Drive and Woodward Way, the park is a 200 acre area that’s home to golfing, tennis, and wholesome outdoor fun, while still adjacent to the city and within a short distance of a host of great restaurants, shops, and bars. It is considered part of the larger, well-developed Buckhead area of Atlanta, known to residents for being home to great nightlife, upscale shopping, and some of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods found within the city.

Atlanta Memorial Park, like much of the Buckhead area, comes steeped in tradition and rich in history. In 1864, part of the area that is now the park was the site of the historically significant Battle of Peachtree Creek, a Civil War battle responsible for a number of casualties on both sides. It was a final effort on the part of the Confederate Army to protect Atlanta, and therefore, of great significance in the course of Southern history.

These days, the area is home to Bobby Jones Golf Course, one of the state’s premier places for golf. It’s named after Atlanta legend Bobby Jones, who won golf’s equivalent of the Grand Slam back in the 1930s. Built in 1931, the golf course and clubhouse are still highly in demand with Atlanta’s sporty set, and add a dash of quiet elegance and history to the modern urban style of the Buckhead area.

For those to whom tennis is a more appealing game, Atlanta Memorial Park is also home to the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center, named after the diminutive 5’4″ world champion who remained highly involved with the club and the Atlanta tennis scene until his passing in 1986.

When it comes to outdoor fun, Atlanta Memorial Park stands out as a perfect place to engage in a game, practice skills, or just lounge in the sun.
