Westgate is also close to major retail centers, including Albany Square and Albany Mall, as well as medical offices and Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.

Westgate is less than 2 miles from several shopping centers and malls. Albany Square has Hobby Lobby, PetSmart and Publix. Albany Mall features department stores like Dillard's and Belk.

Dining options include The Canterbury Kitchen at Mayberry Diner, a breakfast and lunch spot that feels like grandma's living room with gingham tablecloths and black-and-white photos.
