Virginia-Highland: Historic Bungalows and Walkable Strips

Virginia-Highland is known for its early-1900s bungalows and its two walkable commercial strips along North Highland Avenue and Virginia Avenue, just north of Freedom Park and a short walk from Piedmont Park. The neighborhood has long been one of Atlanta’s most pedestrian-friendly, with restaurants, bars, and shops built into converted houses and small storefronts rather than strip malls.

There are 33 Virginia-Highland listings on this site, including 21 restaurants and bars and 6 beauty and wellness spots, plus a smaller mix of arts, nightlife, and places to stay. Browse the categories below for a sense of what is within walking distance on either strip.

The neighborhood sits between Inman Park and Poncey-Highland, close enough to both that a visit here can easily fold into a longer walk through several intown neighborhoods at once. Its residential streets are largely quiet and shaded, a contrast to the two commercial strips that carry most of the restaurants and bars this area is known for.
