Amenity-filled community of townhouses and single-family homes
West Highlands is an award-winning master-planned community on Atlanta’s growing west side, offering private amenities and a walkable lifestyle. Residents can easily access a private pool, neighborhood parks and scenic trails that wind through the area. These trails pass by townhomes and lead to Westside Park, Atlanta’s newest and largest green space. The community’s connection to the Atlanta BeltLine is another major draw. “People enjoy stepping outside their door and heading to the BeltLine, whether for a bike ride, a scooter ride or a walk to a nearby brewery,” says Matthew Baker, Broker with BHHS Georgia Properties and a lifelong Atlanta native. The neighborhood is supported by seven committees, each responsible for maintaining various aspects, including architecture, finance and communications. The HOA oversees the upkeep of recreational facilities, including the community pool and the dog park.

Private community pool and trails connecting to BeltLine
A significant part of the growth on Atlanta’s west side is the development of Westside Reservoir Park, which opened in August 2021 and is now one of the largest parks in the city. “Westside Park used to be a granite quarry. They mined rock out of it, backfilled it with water and built a green space around it,” Baker says. Residents can take the Proctor Creek Greenway to Westside Park, which connects to the larger Atlanta BeltLine Trail. The neighborhood also has several parks, including Herman E. Perry Park, which features a large central wooden playground. West Highlands Swimming Pool Facility operates down the street from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Right next door is a small splash zone, accessible only to members and available by reservation. Surrounded by covered picnic pavilions, the area offers plenty of outdoor couches and poolside tables for birthday parties and neighborhood gatherings. Locals also enjoy access to a shady dog park.

Mixed-use retail at Westside Provisions
Small grocery stores and corner markets line Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway Northwest, just south of the neighborhood. The street, named after a prominent civil rights attorney, is also home to Bankhead Seafood, a restaurant that reopened in 2021 after closing in 2018. Acquired by Atlanta rappers Killer Mike and Clifford “T.I.” Harris, the restaurant is known for its homestyle seafood, including fried fish and hush puppies. The nearest Kroger and Publix are about 5 miles away. Around the same distance is Atlantic Station, an open-air mall with over 50 locally owned shops. On weekends, locals often gather there for events like Cirque du Soleil or ice skating, which runs from November to February. Nearby, the Westside Provisions District offers a corridor of high-end furniture stores, boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. “Jamestown LP, the same company behind Ponce City Market, started identifying areas around the city for redevelopment,” Baker says. “The Westside Provisions District is part of that initiative. This old brick meatpacking plant was gutted and turned into restaurants and high-end boutiques."
