Three Georgia spots made the top 14: Isle of Hope in Savannah at No. 7, Inman Park in Atlanta at No. 11, and Downtown Macon at No. 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Isle of Hope, Savannah:<\/strong> This waterfront neighborhood sits along the Skidaway River. The ranking noted azaleas and wisteria blooming over historic homes and moss-covered oaks each spring. Bluff Drive, which runs along the water, was specifically called out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inman Park, Atlanta:<\/strong> Atlanta&#8217;s oldest planned suburb was recognized for dogwoods and azaleas lining streets of Victorian homes. The neighborhood borders the Atlanta BeltLine, a 22-mile loop of trails and parks built on former rail corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Downtown Macon:<\/strong> Macon is home to more than 350,000 Yoshino cherry trees and hosts an annual cherry blossom festival each March. The city calls itself the Cherry Blossom Capital of the World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By the Numbers:<\/strong> Georgia placed three spots in the top 14 of the national list. The top national ranking went to Central Park West in Manhattan, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Quote:<\/strong> Portland Real Estate said in a statement: &#8220;Real estate professionals notice details most people only pay attention to once a year. Spring highlights everything &#8211; the way streets are laid out, how sunlight moves through a neighborhood, how public spaces come alive. These top-ranked areas don&#8217;t just look good when the blossoms arrive; they function beautifully as places to live.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Portland, Oregon-based real estate company ranked three Georgia locations among the top spring destinations in the country, based on a poll of real estate agents.
