Piedmont Heights, Atlanta

Piedmont Heights is an intown neighborhood on the east side of Atlanta, Georgia, founded in the early 20th century as a streetcar suburb.

It is located between the BeltLine on the west; across from the Sherwood Forest neighborhood; I-85 on the north, across from an industrial area (Armour Drive); and Piedmont Avenue/Road and Morningside-Lenox Park on the east.

The first references to Piedmont Heights at the county tax offices are from 1912.

[2] Largely due to efforts by the Morningside civic association MPLA, construction of I-485 was avoided which would have gone either close to or through part of Piedmont Heights.

Gotham Park is owned by the residents of Piedmont Heights (and not by the City of Atlanta), and it is run and maintained through the Gotham Park Committee of the Piedmont Heights Civic Association.
