West Midtown (also called the Westside or Upper Westside depending on who you ask) has transformed from an industrial zone into one of Atlanta's hottest neighborhoods for dining, nightlife, and loft living. The Howell Mill and Huff Road corridors are packed with restaurants, breweries, and converted warehouse spaces. Monday Night Brewing, Optimist, and Marcel are just a few names on a deep list.
The neighborhood's industrial bones give it a different look than the tree-covered east-side neighborhoods. You'll find converted warehouse lofts, new mid-rise apartments, and a handful of remaining single-family homes. The Upper Westside trail and BeltLine connectivity are improving. It's car-dependent compared to Midtown proper, but the concentration of restaurants and bars along Howell Mill makes it a destination in its own right.
