Intown Atlanta


Intown Atlanta is a term very frequently used in metro Atlanta to designate an area containing parts of the City of Atlanta and bordering communities. The definition of "intown" varies significantly:

Strictest definition

According to "Intown Elite Real Estate Services" the strictest definition of "intown" includes only Downtown and Midtown Atlanta and the surrounding, mostly pre-World War II neighborhoods that contain unique destinations that draw customers from across metro Atlanta.
Similar to the above definition, but including Buckhead. Sources using this definition include Intown Atlanta Guide & Maps, INtown Atlanta and Atlanta Intown Real Estate Services.

Everything inside the Perimeter

Finally, Intown may refer to all of Atlanta and surrounding areas of Fulton, DeKalb,and Cobb counties inside I-285. This definition includes, for example, the airport, cities like East Point and Hapeville, unincorporated communities in DeKalb county like North Atlanta and North Druid Hills, and all of Southwest and Southeast Atlanta. It covers the same territory as the term "ITP".
