Upper Westside

The Upper Westside of Atlanta is a once-industrial corridor west of I-75 and inside I-285 that is rapidly transforming into one of the city’s most dynamic, mixed-use neighborhoods. Historically rooted in rail yards, warehouses and mills—such as the historic Whittier Mill Village—the area is now evolving with bold redevelopment efforts like The Works (Atlanta), an 80-acre project converting old industrial buildings into creative offices, retail, green space and residences. With this backdrop of industrial grit, the community blends historic mill-worker homes and warehouse lofts alongside breweries, cafés and new mid-rise apartments, providing a unique fusion of heritage and contemporary urban living. Positioned just minutes from downtown Atlanta, the Upper Westside offers connectivity with an increasingly walkable environment, while still embracing its edgy, under-the-radar character that many residents and developers feel makes it one of the city’s “best-kept secrets”.
