Forest Park Overview

Positioned just 9 miles south of the thriving city of Atlanta, Forest Park is a slice of Georgia heaven that is ideal for a wide range of lifestyles. From scenic beauty to a bevy of amenities within easy reach, this charming abode of about 18K people is a must-consider for any new resident to the Peach State.

What is the history of Forest Park?

Officially incorporated in 1908, the city was established as a stop along the famed Macon and Western Railroad. In 1973 the nearby town of Fort Gillem was annexed into Forest Park, leading the city to boast a total area of almost ten square miles. Currently, Forest Park apartments generally act as a bedroom community for greater Atlanta.

How is the weather in Forest Park?

Summers tend to be long and humid, and Forest Park apartment residents can anticipate the heat last from May until September most years. Snow, on the other hand, is typically in short supply, and both spring and fall lean towards cooler nights and pleasant days.

How do I get around town?

The MARTA commuter rail system handles much of the public transportation needs for the city, with bus service also available and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport never far away. Many residents still depend upon a personal vehicle, and bicycling around the city has grown in popularity in recent years.

What is the Forest Park commute like?

A number of roadways go in and around the city, including I-75, U.S. route 19 and I-285. Commuter traffic is a daily reality, and construction delays are also commonplace, especially on I-285. Those commuting to Atlanta proper can expect sluggish conditions most days, but again it's only a nine mile or so drive, making Forest Park apartments especially convenient. 

What are the local media outlets?

The 'South Fulton Neighbor' is a popular city-specific print option, and the online outlet the 'Clayton News' covers a wide variety of regional issues and arts listings as well. Radio is largely covered by the Atlanta market and thus diverse, running from classic rock to hip hop, Cuban jazz to talk programming. 

Why live in Forest Park, GA?

As the name might imply, Forest Park apartments offer plenty in the way of natural splendor and serene ambiance. Close enough to the hub of excitement and job market of Georgia's capital while still focused upon a firm community identity and local schools, this is one Atlanta-adjacent city that earns high marks in a variety of categories. 

What Forest Park landmarks should I see?

The Morris Army Airfield is definitely a place those with a historic interest will want to discover, and Forest Park City Hall is an exciting bit of architecture as well. The Hindu Temple of Atlanta is a short ride away and an amazing sight to behold, while nature lovers won't want to miss the Reynolds Nature Preserve.

What is there to do around Forest Park?

Stop by Anne and Bill's Restaurant to catch up on the latest town news over a juicy burger, or dance the night away at The Venue. The nearby Atlanta Farmer's Market is a hit with shoppers of all ages, and the National Museum of Commercial Aviation is an airplane lover's dream come true.

Any annual festivals or Forest Park events to know?

The Porches and Pies Festival is a delicious annual event in the area, and both Autumn In The Park and Swing Into Spring help welcome the seasons in epic fashion across downtown Forest Park. Atlanta proper is home to a wide reaching assortment of gatherings including the Music Midtown Festival.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Myrtle Beach is an excellent, scenic getaway, and much of the North Carolina mountains are also easily accessible to those Forest Park apartment residents with a car or truck. Gainesville, Florida's live music scene is a worthy road trip, and even the country music mecca of Nashville is within reach.

Where is the best place to move in Forest Park?

Whether you are in the market for a hip, economic Forest Park efficiency close to the interstate onramp and the buzz of Atlanta, or are simply looking to connect with a family-friendly rental near area schools and offering pet-friendly policies, we are confident that the perfect Forest Park apartment is out there waiting for you. So why spend another day without a Georgia address of your very own? Start your search without further delay, and start enjoying life in the Peach State ASAP!
