As one of the largest cities in the United States, Atlanta is home to a huge number of businesses. Apartmentguide.com used data from 35,000 business listings to characterize the different neighborhoods of Atlanta — identifying the areas more popular amenities and common businesses.

Restaurants, unsurprisingly, is the most common with a little under 2,400 establishments in the city, followed by beauty salon. While no single neighborhood can stake a claim in the restaurant scene, “American” is the most popular type of cuisine. Deli and pizza come in second and third while Japanese and bakery comes in last.

Shopping has a different take, however. Lenox Square, Perimeter Station and Northlake Mall areas offer more choices as they are home to large shopping malls and boutiques. The neighborhoods south of downtown own a disproportionate amount of grocers compared to department stores and boutiques.

For those looking for businesses that cater to families, Atlanta’s southern neighborhoods may be their best bet. From child care to schools and youth organizations, many of the southern neighborhoods hold the most, contrasting with Atlanta’s north side.
