Knight Park-Howell Station is a growing West Atlanta community with several nearby amenities
On Atlanta's active west side, a few miles from Georgia Tech, the Knight Park-Howell Station neighborhood is a center of redevelopment and burgeoning commercial interest. "Huge investment dollars are being poured into this area, especially because of the nearby Westside Reservoir Park that opened a couple of years ago," says local Realtor Juli St. George of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta. She's sold homes across Atlanta for over a decade. "They're bringing in a lot of commercial infrastructure to support residents, including tons of restaurants." It originated as a late 19th-century community for workers of a nearby railyard, and much of its original housing remains as new construction sweeps in. According to St. George, the area increasingly attracts a mix of residents for its proximal location. "It's a thriving, busy part of Atlanta," she says. "It's a draw for families, but also for singles because there's quite a lot to do on the west end."Knight Park-Howell Station's pocket of homes is bordered by a QTS mega data center to the east, a construction company to the west, railroads to the north and the Fulton County Jail to the south. "You can definitely hear the railroads, but people don't mind it," St. George says. "The community's housing and access to area amenities trumps the noise." St. George says people know the jail is there, but it doesn't deter interest in the community.

Historic bungalows and new construction on tree-lined streets
Knight Park-Howell Station's architecture ranges from late 19th and early 20th-century bungalows to 21st-century, contemporary colonials. There's a mix of fully renovated homes, those needing repairs and a couple of new builds. Narrow streets flow with mature trees and sidewalks, and many of the community's close-quartered lots are full of maintained gardens, shrubbery and potted plants. Some residents wrap their front yards in picket fences and adorn wide front porches with rocking chairs. Housing prices here have increased over the years. "It was traditionally an affordable neighborhood, but now you can get homes closer to the million-dollar mark," St. George says. "Prices have crept up in value." She actively owns a property in the neighborhood. Homes here can list from $260,000, likely needing a few updates, to $800,000, mainly new construction.

Stunning views at Westside Reservoir Park
Knight Park is a hilly green space canopied by towering oaks in the heart of the neighborhood. It has a tennis and basketball court and a playground for the kids. Friends of Howell Station, a local nonprofit, has raised funds to help improve the park's walled garden and playground, and developments are active. Westside Reservoir Park, Atlanta's largest green space, is a former quarry known for its massive granite cliffs that appeared in popular television shows like "The Walking Dead." While the city renovated the quarry into a 280-acre park, its cliffs remain and hug a 35-acre reservoir visible from a designated overlook. The park's 2021 opening also unveiled paved trails, popular with cyclists, pavilions and a playground. Visitors can also see a stretch of the Atlanta skyline from the reservoir overlook.
