Gogo's take on Lindbergh/Morosgo
“Go with care. Lindbergh/Morosgo serves as a bustling transit and residential hub with practical dining and shopping options, but it feels distinctly transitional and car-centric along major roads. Daytime foot traffic around the station and retail plazas is generally fine, but stay alert for property crime and vehicular traffic, especially after dark.”
Recent regional focus on the Lindbergh Center MARTA transit-oriented development and nearby infrastructure upgrades continues to bring new mixed-use residential units and streetscape improvements to the corridor.
