Midtown - Zip Code 30309
 Midtown contains about one-third of the city's high-rises and some of Atlanta's most iconic buildings, such as the Bank of America Building, (situated between Midtown and Downtown), AT&T Midtown Center, Atlantic Center, 1180 Peachtree, and Promenade II. The district is the epicenter of the city's music and artistic scene that includes the Fox Theatre, Woodruff Arts Center, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and the 14th Street Playhouse.
As defined by the Midtown Alliance organization, the area measures approximately four square miles and has a resident population of 30,000. The area also has a workplace population of 68,000, along with 20,000 students and approximately 6 million visitors annually. This definition of Midtown Atlanta includes upscale neighborhoods such Ansley Park and Atlantic Station, as well as the neighborhoods of Home Park and Sherwood Forest.
 The Midtown district has been a primary area of growth in the city with new condominium units being built, new stores opening up, and businesses and people moving into the area.
Midtown Atlanta is also home to two well known institutions of higher education: Georgia Institute of Technology and the Atlanta division of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Midtown is composed of busy thoroughfares, including Atlanta's famous Peachtree Street, lined by high-rise condos and four-star hotels alongside skyscrapers housing Class A office space and busy shopping areas. It is also home to quiet residential neighborhoods populated by Beautiful Victorian, American Four-Square and American Craftsman homes, as well as bed-and-breakfast inns. Midtown's focal point is the expansive green space of Piedmont Park. The Atlanta Botanical Garden adjoins the Park.
Midtown is also home to the largest concentration of LGBT residents in the city, and (with Ansley Park and Kirkwood) one of the largest in the country. Many residents refer to Midtown as Atlanta's number one gay village.
Atlanta has its own multicultural flavor in its variety of restaurants, most of which are situated on Peachtree Street and spread out in a fashion characteristic of the rest of the city. On Juniper Street north of Ponce de Leon Avenue, Atlanta boasts its own signature "restaurant row" district, with upscale gathering places and bustling nightclubs.
 Midtown Atlanta has in the past decade been a fast-growing community with appreciating land and property values, as land is a precious commodity in this urban area. As residents begin to return to the city following decades of suburban retreat from the city center, Midtown Atlanta offers an attractive mix of amenities and attractions, as well as proximity to downtown offices and destinations. The recent construction and opening of the Seventeenth Street Bridge over the Downtown Connector has reconnected Midtown with the west-side of the city. It connects Midtown to a new multi-billion dollar mixed-use development, called Atlantic Station.
A plan to make the 14-block stretch of Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta (nicknamed "Midtown Mile") a street-level shopping destination envisioned to rival Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, or Chicago’s Magnificent Mile is currently being developed. It has brought a number of stores and restaurants along the stretch, such as the upscale Kartell and restaurants Piola, Ri Ra Irish Pub, RA Sushi, and Pinkberry.
