Centennial Hill

Centennial Hill is a relatively new neighborhood located at the northern edge of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The name was originally coined by Hines Interests and applied only to their planned development in the area. Although the development was never started and the land later sold, the name remained and became associated with the whole neighborhood. The neighborhood also includes Centennial Place, a mixed use HOPE VI housing development. Centennial Place was built on the former site of Techwood Homes and Clark Howell Homes. Some remnants of these previous government housing developments still exists, such as the community center.

Due in part to the Georgia Aquarium and to renewed interest in city living, the neighborhood is undergoing a development boom estimated at over US$1 billion [http://atlanta.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/2006/03/27/focus22.html] .

The boundaries of the neighborhood are generally acknowledged to be North Avenue to the north, Baker Street to the south, Luckie Street to the west and the Downtown Connector to the east.
