The neighborhood is directly situated on the Atlanta Beltline, a network of public parks, multi-use trails and transit along a historic 22-mile railroad corridor circling downtown and connecting 45 neighborhoods directly to each other. The north border of the neighborhood contains the planned Beltline right of way. To the west, the neighborhood shares a border with Boulevard Crossing Park. The First Phase of the park, two sports fields, opened for use in the fall of 2011. Phase two of the park development is expected to begin 2024 - 2025.
Our neighborhood is known for its active neighborhood organization and regular planned activities such as neighborhood cleanups, cookouts, and community garden space which is maintained by several involved neighbors.
BOHO is an extremely close knit community with very active crime watch, an active Facebook community, and well-populated private email list (200+ members) that facilitates neighborhood communication (SEE INFORMATION BELOW -- "Boulevard Height Google Group"). We have a strong sense of neighborhood pride and concern; everybody knows everybody and they look out for each other.
