Welcome to The Parkside Boarding House at 1773 Monroe
Step into comfort, history, and Midtown charm with this rare opportunity to book an entire property in the heart of Atlanta. The Parkside Boarding House offers three private apartments under one roof — two spacious 2-bedroom townhouses and one cozy 1-bedroom garden flat — sleeping up to 14 guests in total.
This mid-century building has a story to tell. Built in the 1950s, it began as a boarding house for travelers, students, and artists seeking a clean and welcoming place to stay near Piedmont Park. In the 70s and 80s, as Midtown blossomed into the cultural and LGBTQ+ heart of the Deep South, 1773 Monroe became a gathering spot for visitors who wanted to be close to the action yet still feel at home.
Today, that same spirit of warmth and inclusivity lives on. The property is not fancy — instead, it’s comfortable, spacious, and full of character, offering your group the chance to experience Midtown like true locals.
The Units
Townhouse One (2BR / 1.5BA, Sleeps 6)
Styled with mid-century modern charm, this townhouse features two bedrooms with queen beds (one bedroom has two queen beds). A big comfy sofa, full dining room, and galley kitchen make it easy for groups to cook, relax, and gather together.
Townhouse Two (2BR / 1.5BA, Sleeps 6)
Equally spacious, the second townhouse offers two queen bedrooms plus a third queen bed in the back bedroom- for flexible sleeping arrangements. With its own living room, dining area, and kitchen, it gives your group the comfort of home with the privacy of separate spaces.
The Garden Apartment (1BR / 1BA, Sleeps 2–3)
Tucked at ground level, this cozy one-bedroom flat is perfect for grandparents, couples, or anyone in the group who wants a little extra quiet. It includes a queen bedroom, full bath, living area, and full size kitchen (the nicest in the building), all with simple mid-century style.
Shared Amenities
On-site parking — a rare Midtown perk
Outdoor fire pit with seating, perfect for evenings together
