After nearly 3,000 votes and several dramatic matches, the Elite Eight in Urbanize’s fourth-annual Best Atlanta Neighborhood tourney is officially in the books.

Which means it’s time, Atlanta, to meet your 2024 Final Four!

These four contestants are still alive in the quest to claim everlasting Best Neighborhood glory (for at least a year) as determined by the voting public—in very public fashion. The only criteria is that you vote for the place you feel is doing it right, right now.

Reader nominations determined the field of 16 contestants earlier this month.

The four left standing include typically strong contenders (West End, East Atlanta) and intown powerhouses (Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward) whose performances in recent years have left something to be desired.

But who will fully prevail this year, rising up to claim the crown? The Final Four contests will open Friday (that’s tomorrow, y’all).

Those will be followed by the Best Atlanta Neighborhood 2024 Championship early next week.

Thanks again to all who’ve participated. Now, onward!
