Old Fourth Ward

Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and modern renaissance. This historic district the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. seamlessly blends its storied past with contemporary attractions. The neighborhood's transformation has created an eclectic mix of restored historic buildings and sleek new developments, making it one of Atlanta's most sought-after areas. For those interested in soaking in some of the city's coolest amenities, culture, and arts, Old Fourth Ward colloquially known as O4W—is hard to beat.

Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park, which includes the birthplace of MLK and the church where he was a pastor, sits at the heart of Old Fourth Ward, preserving the civil rights leader's legacy. The district's creative spirit thrives at Ponce City Market (PCM), a reimagined historic Sears building that now houses premier dining, shopping, and office spaces. With over fifty locally-owned and small businesses in PCM alone, Old Fourth Ward offers an opportunity to engage with local artists, makers, and BIPOC-owned businesses, each celebrating the neighborhood's diversity.
