The advantages to moving into Atlanta are endless. We are a city that is made up of mostly commuters, those that drive into the city everyday from the suburbs for work purposes and drive back out of the city every evening. We also drive into Atlanta from the suburbs for entertainment purposes like tickets to the Fox or Woodruff Arts Center. Not only is this one of the reasons for the horrible traffic problems in Atlanta, but with the gas prices rising out of control, this way of life is becoming unaffordable. So, what’s a solution? Well, there is of course carpooling or purchasing a more fuel efficient car, but both of those still require you to spend approximately two hours of your day fighting Atlanta traffic. The best solution to beat the gas prices is to relocate into the city. By choosing to reside in a live/work/play community, you will virtually eliminate the need for a car.

If 1010 Midtown is your new place of residence, your commute to work could be nothing more than a 5 minute walk, and the Fox Theater and Woodruff Arts Center are also just a stroll away. For added recreation that is free of charge, virtually across the street from 1010 Midtown is Piedmont Park. Here you can enjoy a romantic picnic with a significant other, go for a nice, energizing run, take a bike ride, play a game of football with friends, take your best friend (meaning your dog) for a long walk or anything. Having Piedmont Park in such close proximity allows for endless opportunities for recreation.

Allow me to further emphasize why living in a live, work, play community is a great option: First off, if you are walking to work and entertainment outlets, you are not using gas, depleting your gas budget exponentially. Second, walking is good for you! This is a great way to help increase your daily activity. Thirdly, you’ll have more time in your day to devote to yourself. If you cut your commute, you could be adding two hours to your day that used to be spent sitting in traffic. Two extra hours everyday can give you enough time to run all of your errands, finish a great book, spend time with your family and more. It’s really time to start

The mission of 12th & Midtown initiative is to provide Atlanta residents with an unmatched Midtown lifestyle.
