Reynoldstown is not just a BeltLine stop. It is one of the most layered neighborhoods in Atlanta, shaped by railroads, segregation, redevelopment, and now serious walkability.

In this episode, Jeff Goddard and Adam Mincey break down how a post-Civil War freedmen community became one of the most sought-after in-town addresses for buyers earning $200K to $1M+ per year.

Adam shares personal insight from living in Reynoldstown, working out at Terminus Strength & Conditioning, and watching values climb as the Atlanta BeltLine came online.

We cover:

• The Civil War roots of Reynoldstown
• Why the railroad physically divided it from Cabbagetown
• How Holtzclaw Yard still impacts property values
• Why the BeltLine changed everything
• What it is actually like to live there day to day
• Where prices sit right now

If you are relocating to Atlanta and want character, connectivity, and long-term upside, this is required listening.

Reynoldstown is tight lots, urban energy, and proximity to everything.

Current ranges:

• Renovated bungalows: $600K to $1M depending on size and finish
• New construction modern homes: $850K to $1.5M+
• Townhomes: $500K to $900K
• Condos in communities like Moda or Reynoldstown Crossing: mid $300s and up

You are paying for:

• Direct BeltLine access
• MARTA connectivity
• Walkability to Memorial Drive and Madison Yards
• Short commute to Midtown and Downtown

You are not getting:

• Large yards
• Quiet suburban feel
• Easy street parking

This is urban living done well.

• Muchacho for coffee and patio people watching
• Homegrown for the Comfy Chicken Biscuit
• Krog Street Tunnel for the most photographed tunnel in Atlanta
• Breaker Breaker for BeltLine patio energy
• Atlanta Dairies for nightlife

Reynoldstown is ideal for:

• Dual-income professionals
• Remote tech or corporate relocations
• Buyers who prioritize walkability over yard space
• People who want culture and convenience in one place

It is not ideal for:

• Buyers wanting traditional suburban quiet
• Large lot or pool seekers
• People who dislike density

Atlanta is growing. In-town neighborhoods with true infrastructure do not come around often.

Reynoldstown has:

• BeltLine access
• MARTA
• Retail density
• Strong appreciation history
• Future upside tied to Holtzclaw Yard redevelopment

If you are considering buying, selling, or relocating to Atlanta, understanding neighborhoods like this gives you leverage.

Episode Description

Piedmont Park is Atlanta’s backyard, but it has never stood still.

In this episode of ATL: All Things Local, we walk the full timeline of Piedmont Park. From the Walker family’s $450 land purchase in 1834, to the Cotton States & International Exposition, to today’s $160M+ expansion tied to the Atlanta BeltLine and the growing footprint of the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

We cover:

• Where the original Walker cabin sat and why it matters

• The Active Oval, Auburn vs Georgia, and the Piedmont Driving Club

• Olmsted’s vision and how the park was designed as a health-focused retreat

• Why Atlanta keeps building beautiful things and then tearing them down

• Festivals, Music Midtown, weddings, and the business of a public park

• The unfinished BeltLine, sewer infrastructure, and the infamous “stink stretch”

• The Monroe and Piedmont redevelopment, density battles, and what’s coming next

If you live near the park, run the BeltLine, or sit in traffic on Monroe wondering what happened, this episode connects the dots between history, growth, and what’s coming.

Grant Park is one of Atlanta's most historic and sought-after neighborhoods. Most people know it for the Zoo, but the real estate market here offers incredible value for those looking for historic charm close to downtown.

In this episode, Mincey and Jeff break down the 140-year history of the neighborhood, the accidental founding of the Atlanta Zoo, and what it actually costs to buy a home here today.

What we cover:

• The History: How LP Grant bought 600 acres for $1,200 and the Civil War fortifications that are still visible today.

• The Zoo: The true story of the broken-down circus that started it all.

• The Lost Lake: Grant Park used to have a massive lake. We explain why it is now a parking lot.

• Real Estate: Price points for bungalows vs. Victorian mansions and what "Folk Victorian" actually means.

• Lifestyle: Why the Sunday Farmers Market is the best in the city and where to eat in Summerhill.
