Knight Park-Howell Station attracts redevelopment amid regional growth
On Atlanta's growing west end, a few miles from Georgia Tech, the historic Knight Park-Howell Station neighborhood is a center of redevelopment and burgeoning commercial interest. It originated as a late 19th-century community for workers of a nearby railyard, and much of its original housing remains. Its location in the heart of West Atlanta's rapid growth has invited a wave of revitalization. The neighborhood's location near a QTS mega data center to the east, railroads and the Fulton County Jail hasn't deterred interest in the community.

Commercial investment surges in Atlanta's west end
Atlanta's entire west end has been a center of growth, and Knight Park-Howell Station is at the heart.

Residents and investors have increasingly flocked to the area, flipping historic homes and building new ones. Plus, new businesses are continually emerging. "A lot of breweries are on the way and lots of restaurants," St. George says. "A lot of the focus for expanding Atlanta's scene is on the west. It's grown exponentially."
