West End BeltLine Townhomes Start Taking Shape

The GW Parkside project at 600 Hopkins Street is finally rising after a year of demolition and prep work. Ackerman & Co. is bringing 23 for-sale townhomes to this popular BeltLine stretch, with the first units hitting the market this spring. It's rare to see new for-sale housing along the Westside Trail, so this should draw plenty of attention.

About West End

West End is one of Atlanta's most historic neighborhoods, home to the Wren's Nest (the house museum of Joel Chandler Harris), the Hammonds House Museum, and a MARTA rail station that gives it transit access most westside neighborhoods lack. The neighborhood has a proud, predominantly African American identity and has been at the center of conversations about how to attract investment without displacing longtime residents.

The food and culture scene is growing, with spots like Lean Draft House (craft beer and tacos) and the shops at Lee + White (a former warehouse district turned food hall along the emerging Westside Trail of the BeltLine). The BeltLine's Westside Trail has already been built through this area, connecting West End to Adair Park and the growing Westside corridor. Housing is a mix of beautiful Victorian homes, bungalows, and new construction. It's one of the most undervalued neighborhoods in Atlanta and is changing quickly.
