What Is the Atlanta BeltLine?
The Atlanta BeltLine is a 22-mile loop of multi-use trails, parks, and transit planned along a historic railroad corridor that circles the city core. When complete, it will connect 45 neighborhoods, add 33 miles of trails, 1,300 acres of parks, and 5,600 affordable housing units. The Eastside Trail (from Piedmont Park to Krog Street Market) is the most popular completed section, drawing millions of visitors annually.
Eastside Trail — Midtown to Reynoldstown
The Eastside Trail runs from Piedmont Park south through Virginia-Highland, Poncey-Highland, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, and into Reynoldstown. Ponce City Market sits directly on the trail and is the area's social hub. This corridor has seen the most dramatic property value increases — homes near the Eastside Trail have appreciated 30–60% faster than the metro average since 2015.

This corridor offers the most affordable BeltLine-adjacent living.

Northside — Buckhead to Lindbergh

Southside — Pittsburgh to Boulevard Crossing
The Southside Trail is under active construction, connecting Pittsburgh, Peoplestown, and South Atlanta to the rest of the loop. D.H. Stanton Park and Boulevard Crossing Park are major green spaces along this segment. This area represents the best value for buyers betting on BeltLine completion driving future growth.
