Long-established community close to Atlanta

It is never hard to find a community program in Grove Park. Neighbors serve drinks and hors d'oeuvres to visitors during neighborhood walking tours, local leaders head up association meetings, and residents pick produce from the community garden. Atlanta’s entire West Side saw a decline in the 2000s as residents moved farther into the suburbs, but there’s been a recent resurgence as more people want to live close to downtown. “People go downtown if there’s nothing they want to do in the neighborhood, but you’re so close, it’s not hard to do,” says Jerilyn Lewis, managing broker at Area West Realty. The trend toward city living and the involvement of the Grove Park Neighborhood Association and the Grove Park Foundation have brought a new generation to this West End neighborhood.

Renovations to original homes built by Dr. Grove

Grove Park was developed in the early 20th century by pharmaceutical magnate Dr. Edwin Wiley Grove. The neighborhood still has street names like Gertrude Place and Evelyn Place after Dr. Grove’s wife, children and grandchildren. The community is comprised of original homes from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, many of which have been renovated by owners or investors. Brick-front ranch homes and split levels are next to Craftsman-style cottages along hilly streets. Renovated homes often sell for $300,000 to $500,000, while properties needing more repairs are priced between $150,000 and $300,000. Grove Park has a 6 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, higher than the national average of 4.

Westside Reservoir Park overlooks downtown Atlanta

Grove Park is alongside Westside Reservoir Park, Atlanta’s largest green space. Miles of paved, wheelchair-accessible paths circle the park’s namesake reservoir and overlook the city skyline. Westside Reservoir connects to the Proctor Creek Greenway, a 2-mile trail that runs from West Highlands to Grove Park. Houses of worship like Sims Avenue Church of Christ and Second Refuge Pentecostal Church on Johnson Road surround the park’s western entrance. The community’s smaller neighborhood green spaces include Center Hill Park on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, which has a playground and splash pad, and Grove Park on Hortense Place, which features the neighborhood’s recreation center and community garden.
