Atlanta’s Upper Westside is a burgeoning region that is loosely defined as encompassing the neighborhoods of Hills Park, Bolton, Riverside, and Whittier Mill Village. The area is known for its rapid gentrification and gradual transition from industrial to residential use. For many, the Upper Westside represents a hidden gem in Atlanta that is just starting to receive the attention it deserves.

The boundaries of the Upper Westside are difficult to precisely define because the term “Upper Westside” is colloquial. Various interests that operate in the area (such as real estate developers and local businesses) have used the term in order to promote the region as an up-and-coming neighborhood. This is also the case with the nearby “West Midtown”.
