Equinox is a high-end, trendy fitness chain, based in New York City, that currently has its eyes set on Midtown Atlanta for a new location.

An appeal of Midtown that is sometimes overlooked is the fact that there are so many ways for a family to spend quality time together. In fact, if you were living in Midtown, you would probably be more inclined to have regular “family time” due to all of the great family-friendly activities right in your backyard. It is this district of Atlanta that is home to Piedmont Park, the Woodruff Performing Arts Center, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta’s best restaurants and Atlanta’s best shopping (coming soon).

Kevin Sack of the New York Times recently published an article covering a day with his family in Midtown Atlanta. He begins in the morning with breakfast at the Flying Biscuit and ends the day with a trip to Krispy Kreme. You really should

For anyone that is new to Atlanta, you must spend one morning getting a tour of the Fabulous Fox Theatre. The Fox (which is the slang term for Atlanta locals) is one of the only landmarks that has been around since the 1920′s  in our new and happening city. It is at the Fox where, on any given night of the week, you will be able to see a top-of-the-charts musician, a Broadway musical, a classic movie, a famous comedian, a beautiful ballet or more. This theater is a nightly source of great entertainment right off of Peachtree Street – just down the street from 1010 Midtown.

That’s right, residents at 1010 Midtown benefit from being only a few blocks away from this historical theater. All of the shows and stars that come to the Fox will be easily accessible from 1010 Midtown, which is only one of the numerous appeals of this live/work/play community. In fact, next week the American favorite “Oklahoma” will be on production at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, and 1010 Midtown has 6 free tickets for Thursday night’s performance. If you have nothing better to do on June 26th, then give the sales center a call at 404-815-4622 to claim these free tickets. It will also give you a great idea of what life at these new Atlanta condos will be like having the Fox just down the street.

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
