Why Bankhead is drawing new residents and development
Bankhead is a Westside neighborhood that’s changing, thanks to the addition of the Atlanta Beltline, a 22-mile trail network that loops around the city. More people are moving here so they can easily get to the trail and walk or bike to nearby parks and restaurants. The neighborhood is also conveniently located for commuters, with trains from Bankhead Transit Station reaching Downtown Atlanta in minutes. As interest in the area continues to grow, new housing is popping up, and more developments are on the way.
Older homes and new builds shape Bankhead’s housing market
Most of Bankhead’s housing stock is made up of 1920s bungalows and midcentury cottages, but that’s shifting. “I’ve noticed more and more houses getting torn down and replaced with new builds,” says Tomaree Tarpley, a Realtor with eXp Realty who lives on the Westside. “Some people are still renovating, but it feels like buying houses for their lots is kind of the big thing right now.” The median sale price in Bankhead is around $300,000, which is less than Atlanta's median of about $425,000. Houses that need a lot of work usually start in the mid-$100,000s, while renovated homes and newer builds typically reach the mid-$300,000s.
Bungalows are one of the most common house styles in the neighborhood.
A lot of houses in Bankhead have been updated.

Shirley Clarke Franklin Park is on the Beltline's Westside Trail.
Parks, food halls and breweries along the Westside Trail
Bankhead’s portion of the Beltline is the Westside Trail, a 3-mile route that connects several parks and mixed-use developments. Along the way, you’ll pass:
Maddox Park, which has a swimming pool and basketball courts
Shirley Clarke Franklin Park, where you can hike and bike around a reservoir
The Works, a former industrial site that’s now home to a food hall, home decor stores and salons
Lee + White, a row of former warehouses that are now filled with breweries, coffee shops and office space
The Bankhead Station is in the neighborhood.
Quick MARTA trips put major Atlanta stops minutes away
The Bankhead Station is the western terminus of MARTA’s Green Line. It is on the neighborhood’s northern edge and only has 11 parking spaces, so most people walk or ride bikes to get there. “Sidewalks aren’t on every street here, but it's still less annoying than waking up at the crack of dawn and not getting a parking spot,” Tarpley says. From Bankhead Station, trains typically reach:
SEC District Station, which is between State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in about 6 minutes
Five Points Station, a transfer point for all rail lines, in about 7 minutes
Georgia State Station, which is on campus, in about 8 minutes
Edgewood-Candler Park Station, the Green Line’s eastern terminus, in about 15 minutes
Public schools and local charter options
Bankhead is zoned for Atlanta Public Schools, and kids can go to Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy for prekindergarten through eighth grade, and then continue to Booker T. Washington High School. Families can also apply to charter options like KIPP WAYS Primary and KIPP WAYS Academy, which are on the neighborhood’s southern end.
Booker T. Washington High School serves the neighborhood.

Where to run errands and go out to eat
Every Wednesday, you can swing by the transit station to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables from the produce stand. For everyday errands, several convenience stores are scattered around Bankhead, and a Walmart is less than 2 miles south in Vine City. The neighborhood is also home to a few locally owned restaurants, including Bankhead Seafood, known for its fried catfish and hush puppies, and Soul Good, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The drive to downtown Atlanta and midtown Atlanta
For anyone who does drive, Bankhead is about 3 miles from downtown Atlanta and Midtown Atlanta. You don’t have to get on a highway to reach either place, but the drives can still take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. “I always recommend using the train during rush hour if you can,” Tarpley says. “You’re right next to the heart of the city, so sitting in bumper-to-bumper congestion can feel even more frustrating.”
