Midtown is "Atlanta's Heart of the Arts." It is the home of the Fox Theatre, the Woodruff Arts Center, the Richard Meierand Renzo Piano -designed High Museum of Art, as well as the Atlanta Ballet Company, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Hall and other arts and entertainment venues. The High is currently collaborating with the Louvre to house a temporary collection of masterpieces from the Paris museum. As well as being a major arts and entertainment enclave, Midtown Atlanta is home to a vibrant cultural community.
Midtown is composed of busy thoroughfares, including Atlanta's famous Peachtree Street, lined by high-rise condos and four-star hotels alongside skyscrapers that are home to corporate headquarters and busy shopping areas. It is also home to quiet residential neighborhoods populated by Victorian, American Four-Square, early-20th-century bungalow-style homes, and bed-and-breakfast inns. Midtown's focal point is the expansive green space of Piedmont Park. The Atlanta Botanical Garden adjoins the Park.
Midtown Atlanta is currently a fast-growing community with appreciating land and property values, as land is a precious commodity in this urban area. As residents begin to return to the city following decades of suburban retreat from the downtown core, Midtown Atlanta offers an attractive mix of amenities and attractions, as well as proximity to downtown offices and destinations. The recent construction and opening of the Seventeenth St. Bridge over the Downtown Connector has reconnected Midtown with the west-side of the city. It connects Midtown to a new multi-billion dollar mixed-use development, called Atlantic Station, on the former site of the Atlantic Steel company, which is the site of new housing, office, and retail space.
Midtown Atlanta is served by an underground rapid rail system, MARTA, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. There is also a daytime shuttle between the Midtown MARTA station and Georgia Tech called the "Tech Trolley."
