Note: Many areas in the core metro counties surrounding the city use Atlanta postal addresses while not being part of city limits. These areas include formerly unincorporated areas of Fulton County now within the cities of Sandy Springs, South Fulton, College Park and East Point. This also applies to several unincorporated areas of DeKalb County, including Gresham Park and North Druid Hills, the Cumberland/Vinings area of Cobb County, unincorporated areas near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Clayton County, and unincorporated areas near Spaghetti Junction in Gwinnett County.
The city of Atlanta, Georgia is made up of 243 neighborhoods officially defined by the city.<ref name="Neighborhood List">Template:Cite web</ref> These neighborhoods are a mix of traditional neighborhoods, subdivisions, or groups of subdivisions. The neighborhoods are grouped by the city planning department into 25 neighborhood planning units (NPUs). These NPUs are "citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land use, and other planning issues".<ref name="NPUs">Template:Cite web</ref> There are a variety of other widely recognized named areas within the city. Some are officially designated, while others are more informal.
Other areas
In addition to the officially designated neighborhoods, many other named areas exist. Several larger areas, consisting of multiple neighborhoods, are not formally defined but commonly used. Most notable are Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown. Other smaller examples exist, such as Little Five Points, which encompasses parts of three neighborhoods. Some of these regions may overlap, such as West Midtown, an area which includes several neighborhoods on the west side of the larger Midtown area.Template:Citation needed
Some of these areas are connected with community groups such as Midtown Alliance or Community improvement districts (CIDs) such as the Buckhead CID. While those organizations often have an associated definition of the areas they represent, those definitions may not be the same as the common usage. Less formally, some areas of the city are referred to by compass directions, such as Southwest Atlanta.Template:Citation needed
