Lindbergh (Atlanta)

Lindbergh, officially known as Lindbergh/Morosgo, and also known as South Buckhead, is a neighborhood in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia. Most of the neighborhood consists of multi-use development combining retail, office and residential space.

The neighborhood is bordered on the northwest by a freight railroad line, across which are Peachtree Park, Garden Hills, and Peachtree Hills. The eastern border is Georgia 400 tollway and Pine Hills. The Armour industrial area is to the southwest, and to the southeast is I-85 and Lindridge/Martin Manor.[1]

Development

The multi-use development on the west side of Piedmont Road is anchored by the twin towers of AT&T and the Lindbergh Center MARTA station, and includes a police station and other retail, restaurant and office space. At the southern end is the Passion City Church which moved into a repurposed golf superstore in 2011.

On the east side of Piedmont Road:

Transportation

The Lindbergh MARTA station is at the heart of the new development on Morosgo Drive just west of Piedmont Road. The station is a hub for MARTA buses, and is also a terminus of the Georgia Bus Company "jitneys" (minibuses) that ply Buford Highway.

Lindbergh Center's function as a transit hub may strengthen as it has been identified as a northern terminus of BeltLine corridor light rail routes, as well as a possible northern terminus for a rail line to Emory University along the Clifton Corridor.

The Georgia 400 tollway is adjacent to the neighborhood. A southbound offramp and northbound onramp are at Sidney Marcus Blvd. However it is not possible to exit at Lindbergh when going northbound. There is a northbound onramp and southbound offramp for I-85 at Lindbergh Dr., both only for carpools.
