Living in Sweet Auburn

Nestled just across the highway (I-85) from Downtown Atlanta is the iconic Sweet Auburn district, a beacon of Atlanta’s rich historical heritage and an evolving testament to community resilience. Steeped in a legacy that stemmed from the need for black-run businesses during segregation eras, the fervor and determination that propelled Sweet Auburn in its early days continue to shine brightly today.

In 1992, Sweet Auburn was recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of America’s Most Endangered Historic Places. Today, this resilient neighborhood is actively restoring its grandeur, balancing its storied past with a future brimming with potential. As the perfect intersection of history and modernity, Sweet Auburn Apartments offers an unmatched living experience for those who value culture, community, and convenience.

Auburn Avenue, once heralded as one of the wealthiest streets globally, traverses the heart of Sweet Auburn. It's here where history buffs will revel in the numerous landmarks, from the pivotal Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site to the immersive APEX (African American Panoramic Experience) Museum. The Wheat Street Baptist Church, a stalwart during the Civil Rights Movement, also graces Auburn Avenue. This vibrant street, bursting with stories and significance, promises unforgettable moments to share with loved ones.

Yet, Sweet Auburn isn't solely anchored in the past. The district has masterfully repurposed its architectural gems to meet the modern resident's needs. The Atlanta Daily World Building, once the pulse of the nation's first black-owned daily newspaper, has been rejuvenated into trendy apartments and retail spaces. Stylish loft apartments in revamped buildings like the Studioplex ensure residents are steps away from shopping, dining, and public transportation. For those yearning for a taste of vibrant nightlife, the legendary Royal Peacock, founded in the 1920s and formerly known as the Top Hat Night Club, still dominates the scene.

When you choose to reside in Sweet Auburn, local residents say you’re not just finding a home—you're becoming part of a story. Experience the best of Atlanta’s history, culture, and modern amenities, all in one place.

Things to do in Sweet Auburn

Every year the neighborhood hosts the Sweet Auburn Springfest, one of the largest outdoor festivals in the southeast. The festival is family-friendly, with all the things one might expect of a springfest (live music on multiple stages, tons of food and shopping) plus a “Fantastic Fun Zone,” which offers rides and games as entertainment for the kiddos. The Sweet Auburn Music Fest is another annual neighborhood festival: two straight days of music, food, local vendors, and family-friendly activities.

Another great spot in this neighborhood is the Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Ranked as the 16th best food market in the world by USA Today in 2013, its offerings range from crepes to double-crust pies to classic barbeque to pop-up venders, and more. Begun in 1918 on land cleared by the Great Atlanta fire of 1917, it’s a great place to come with family and friends to get a taste of the neighborhood and some of its more recent history.

The median age in Sweet Auburn is 34 years. The number of households that don’t have children far outweighs the number of households that do, though there are many family-friendly events and activities in the area. With new developments popping up in other parts of the neighborhood, housing options are increasing, making Sweet Auburn a great choice for finding your home! Other nearby neighborhoods worth a visit include Old Fourth Ward and Midtown.
