Adaptive Reuse: Once-neglected factories and warehouses that date back to the 1880s have been converted to cool urban lofts and contemporary condos in West Midtown. Along with newer planned neighborhoods, these housing opportunities give residents the ability to take advantage of this unique and central area.
The colloquially defined area of West Midtown encompasses the neighborhoods of Berkeley Park, Loring Heights, Atlantic Station, Home Park, and Georgia Tech, all located north of Downtown and west of Midtown. Formerly an industrial area, this hip, lively area has transformed itself into an artsy, modern, eclectic mix. West Midtown is a paradise for foodies, a haven for the arts and design communities, and an indulgence for those interested in unque and upscale shopping.
