A little history
Inman Park was planned in 1889 by civil engineer Joel Hurt as Atlanta’s first planned residential suburb, a garden neighborhood connected to downtown by the city’s first electric streetcar line. It’s named for Samuel M. Inman, and early residents included Coca-Cola founder Asa G. Candler. The neighborhood declined in the mid-1900s, but in the 1970s urban pioneers began restoring its historic homes, sparking one of Atlanta’s great comeback stories. Inman Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
What it’s like to live in Inman Park
Inman Park life is walkable and lively. The Beltline Eastside Trail runs along the neighborhood, connecting to Old Fourth Ward, Ponce City Market and Reynoldstown. Krog Street Market and the restaurants along Edgewood Avenue and North Highland are steps away, and Wrecking Bar Brewpub pours beer in a historic mansion. Springvale Park and the restored Trolley Barn add charm, and each spring the Inman Park Festival brings a parade, artist market and tour of homes. MARTA’s Inman Park/Reynoldstown station is at the south end.
Homes and prices
Inman Park has one of Atlanta’s best collections of late-1800s and early-1900s homes. Here’s what you’ll find:
- Victorian homes: Queen Anne and Folk Victorian houses, many with turrets, wraparound porches and big lots, especially along Euclid and Edgewood Avenues. These are the neighborhood’s signature homes and usually the highest priced.
- Craftsman bungalows and foursquares: Early-1900s homes on the quieter side streets, often with front porches and updated interiors.
- Townhomes and newer infill: A smaller number of newer homes built to fit the historic look.
- Condos and lofts: Near the BeltLine, Krog Street and the MARTA station, a lower-cost way into the neighborhood.
In Inman Park, 27 homes sold over the past 12 months (Nov 2025–Oct 2026) at a median of $1,100,000, with a median of 14 days on the market and homes selling at about 98.1% of list price. Only 6 homes were for sale in October, so inventory is very tight. These numbers come from FMLS InfoSparks and cover a small number of sales, so the median can swing a lot depending on which homes sold; I’ll pull recent sales for the exact streets and home type you’re looking at.
Because Inman Park is a City of Atlanta historic district, exterior changes like additions, new windows or fences are reviewed by the Atlanta Urban Design Commission. Plan for that if you want to renovate.
