Castleberry Hill is a unique urban community with a strong historic identity. Many of the early 20th-century warehouse buildings have been converted to lofts that are now the predominant housing type in the area and the culturally diverse population continues to grow. This area was originally part of the renegade Snake Nation community but by the Civil War was becoming industrial with terra cotta and other building material factories, cotton warehousing and grocers, one of whom, Daniel Castleberry, it is named for. Today the area is thriving with retail shops, restaurants, art galleries, apartments and condos. The heart of Atlanta is a short walking distance as well as highway and public transportation options that will continue to be major draws to the area.
