Westside Atlanta Atlanta, GA

Growth and opportunities abound in one of the fastest-growing areas of Atlanta

Up-and-Coming Urban Restaurants

“The Westside” can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different Atlantans. However, the sprawling area that stretches west from I-85, past the Perimeter, and out towards GA-70 is experiencing massive amounts of growth and development in every neighborhood. With the recent addition of the Westside Trail, part the Atlanta BeltLine project, interest in this prime locale has skyrocketed, spurring renters to go west.

The Westside encompasses a large number of historic in-town neighborhoods and districts, plus two of the city’s most distinctive universities: Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University. With plans for the 280-acre Westside Park underway, this largely residential area will become another distinct facet in metropolitan Atlanta. From the historic homes in Washington Park and Ashview Heights to the impressive new apartment high-rises bordering Midtown, there’s something for everyone in this up-and-coming Atlanta locale.
