Artistic and historic features crawl throughout the Castleberry Hill community. Castleberry Hill offers students a chance to take an art stroll where they are able to see different work of art, stop in shops and eat at restaurants along the way. This area is overflowing with opportunities for students to enjoy the creative atmosphere right in their own backyard.

 

Getting There

Getting to the great Shops in

Tip! – If you don’t want to deal with parking, take MARTA, or take the Atlanta Streetcar, you can always get an Uber or Lyft, two ride-hailing services available via mobile app.

Marta – To get on MARTA, all you need is a Breeze card and $2.50 on that card for a one-way trip. Here are some stops nearby:

Garnett (Doesn’t offer parking)
Georgia Dome (Doesn’t offer parking)
Five Points (Doesn’t offer parking)

Parking 

Parking lots can be a little skim in this area. But remember to always keep your eye out for parking offered by restaurants and stores.

Laz Parking: Laz Parking costs anywhere from $6 – $9 to park in these lots depending on the location. (180 Pryor St. Southwest, Atlanta, Georgia 30303)

Red Deck (International): $10 daily parking but $15- $20 during special events. This lot should be a last minute resort (Andrew Young International Boulevard Northwest)

InterPark: $3 – $5 daily parking (126 Mitchell St. Southwest Atlanta, Georgia 30303; 237 Peachtree St. Southwest, Atlanta, Georgia 30303)

MARTA parking can be pretty helpful. Unfortunately, these two are a little further but at least they are free!

Inman Park MARTA Station: Free daily parking (24-hour limit)

Edgewood/Chandler Park MARTA Station: Free daily parking (24-hour limit)

Atlanta Streetcar

Streetcar stops are going to be a little ways away, but if you’re still interested in riding it, you’ll need a Breeze card. It costs $1 to ride for a one-way trip, $3 for a day pass, $11 for a week and $40 for a month. Here are some nearby stops:
Carnegie At Spring
Luckie at Cone
Centennial Olympic Park
