“Just Us” is Atlanta’s smallest officially recognized neighborhood at just two streets long 🏡 “Just Us” is made up of Fountain Drive and Morris Brown Drive and about 60 homes.

It began in the late 1940s as the Fountain Drive-Morris Brown Drive Community Club, and took the name “Just Us” in the early 1950s. Families built many of the neighborhood’s bungalows and cottages themselves, and many stayed in the same families into the late twentieth century. Through the civil rights era and later the pressures of urban renewal, neighbors organized to look after one another, beginning with community activist Margaret Bowen. That spirit continues today through the Just Us Neighbors association, led by president Lisa Stines. We’re proud to be working with Council Member Jason Dozier’s Office and the Office of City Planning to add Just Us to Atlanta’s Historic Landmark Districts. #PreserveATL #JustUsATL #AtlantaHistory #HistoricPreservation #AtlantaNeighborhoods
