First developed in 1904, Ansley Park was the dream of Edwin P. Ansley who along with several prominent businessmen of the time, purchased a large plot of land north of the city from longtime owner George Washington Collier. Ansley envisioned a new motorcar-oriented suburb of wide winding streets and green parks. | Ansley's vision of a gracious, harmonious neighborhood that would be an oasis in the midst of the bustling city of Atlanta lives on today, in great part thanks to the efforts of the Ansley Park Civic Association (APCA) . Since the 1960's, the Association has been an active force in maintaining the neighborhood's integrity, safety, and sense of community. |
In 2015, Ansley Park reaffirmed its place on the National Register of Historic Places, where it was first listed in 1979.The National Register is an official list of historic buildings and districts worthy of preservation.
It does not place restrictions on private property.
In association with the 2024 Tour of Homes and the 120th anniversary of Ansley Park, the Tour of Homes Committee is reproducing a picture book first produced in 1910 of the homes of Ansley Park.
The original book had approximately 35 pages with various pictures and owners names. The committee is adding notations about existing and demolished houses based on research from the Atlanta History Center.
It's the perfect coffee table book for any Ansley Park resident! Pre-order your book now to enjoy some Ansley Park history!
All proceeds from sales of the book benefit the Ansley Park Civic Association.

Plan A / Atlanta Zoning 2.0
Feeling a bit confused or overwhelmed by the City’s update to the CDP and ATL Zoning 2.0? The APCA has put together some frequently asked questions to help you navigate.
As an Ansley Park resident, why should I be involved or concerned? Your input can help shape what Ansley Park looks like in the future (e.g. density, use of property, etc.). What is the difference between Plan A and ATL Zoning 2.0? Plan A, Atlanta’s Comprehensive Development Plan, will create policy to guide future development. Zoning 2.0 will create Atlanta’s zoning ordinance, the laws that implement these policies. While the city is eliciting input for both processes in tandem, Plan A will be completed first and will advise Zoning 2.0. |
Atlanta Botanical Garden The Atlanta Botanical Garden has announced plans to expand the garden along Piedmont Avenue, north to the BeltLine. As envisioned, this project would convert the existing retail and commercial area into additional garden and event space with direct access from the BeltLine. The Garden will be required to submit a variety of zoning and variance applications to proceed. The APCA Zoning Committee has been reviewing preliminary materials and will continue to coordinate with other neighborhood groups to fully evaluate the impact of the project, with particular focus on the traffic and parking concerns in Ansley Park. With due diligence ongoing, these applications ultimately will come before Ansley Park and NPUE for approval no earlier than April 2. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available. In the meantime please use the links below to learn more about the project: The Atlanta Botanical Garden: ABG Expansion Plan APCA / NPUE due diligence: NPUE Dashboard - ABG Expansion Materials |
