Also nicknamed West Midtown, the West Side is a welcome reinvention from an industrial area to a spirited collection of art galleries, lively music, urban lofts, fashion, retail shops and contemporary office spaces. Most of the West Side has retained its loft-style identity with the restoration of the factories and warehouses from the 1880s. The West Side also maintains a well-designed, spic and span aura with a Design District of home goods, top-rated restaurants, bars, and design shops. Some have even called it as the hottest neighborhood in the whole of Atlanta.
