Gogo's take on Lindbergh/Morosgo
“Go with care. Lindbergh/Morosgo is a bustling, transit-oriented hub with active commercial corridors, modern apartment complexes, and popular dining spots. While violent crime rates are relatively low compared to the citywide average, property crime—especially vehicle break-ins in shopping plazas and parking decks—is frequent enough to warrant caution.”
MARTA continues to advance multi-phase transit-oriented redevelopment and safety initiatives around Lindbergh Center station to increase foot traffic and community policing.

Walking and biking in Lindbergh/Morosgo

Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Household incomes and educational attainment are well above state averages, supported by a dense population of young professionals.
- Violent crime rates are significantly lower than Atlanta citywide averages.
- Excellent regional access with a central rail station and immediate arterial highway connections.
Cons
- High rate of opportunistic property crime, particularly vehicle break-ins in retail parking lots and residential garages.
- Pedestrian safety concerns along heavily trafficked, multi-lane thoroughfares like Piedmont Road and Lindbergh Drive.
- Occasional late-night disturbances and scuffles near local nightlife and club venues.
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is moderately common around the Lindbergh Center MARTA station plazas, major bus shelters, and bridge underpasses along Piedmont Road, though large encampments are generally cleared.

Transit, parking and getting around
MARTA operates the Lindbergh Center Station directly in the neighborhood, serving both the Red and Gold rail lines alongside frequent bus routes including Route 5 and Route 6.
Ample parking exists in dedicated shopping center surface lots and multi-story parking decks (often free with validation or $5–$15), but street parking is scarce and auto break-ins are common in unattended decks.
