Bolton is a growing on Atlanta’s Upper Westside
Just south of the Chattahoochee River, Bolton is a developing community in Atlanta’s Upper Westside, overlooked by the Bolton Neighborhood Association. Named after railroad commissioner Charles Bolton in the 19th century, the neighborhood sits next to a major train yard. "Over the last 15 to 20 years, the neighborhood has developed into mixed-use residential and retail districts," says Juli St. George, an award-winning associate broker and team lead at Keller Williams Intown Atlanta. “Anything north, especially the northeast quadrant, has some of the most expensive housing. Developers keep building townhomes, and people still want to be north of the city." Homes in Bolton surround Bolton Academy and are easily accessible to highways and Westside Reservoir Park, Atlanta’s newest and largest green space.
Bolton belongs to the Upper Westside region of Atlanta offering residents endless retail and restaurant options.
The Works, a mix use development center features colorful buildings near Bolton.

Biking and hiking along Whetstone Creek Trail
Whetstone Creek Trail stretches nearly 4 miles, winding past wooded bridges and a hidden bamboo forest. Part of the rails-to-trails project, it transforms an old railway into a walkable greenway. Spink-Collins Park spans 20 acres with towering native trees and a quarter-mile trail connected to outdoor workout equipment. It has been the site of community cleanups focused on preserving the natural ecosystem. Near Publix, Sara J. González Memorial Park is a tree-filled triangular green space maintained by the community with a focus on diversity. It features a unity plaza, an all-abilities playground, and programs like “Sprouting Readers,” a gardening initiative with Emory University’s Urban Health Initiative. Three miles south, Westside Reservoir Park is one of the city’s newest parks. Home to an open quarry, it connects to the Westside Trail and draws visitors for its large playground and scenic views.
Sara J. Gonzalez Park features a playground that residents take their children to throughout the day.
The Whetstone Creek Trail runs through Bolton offering residets a path for biking and running.

Award-winning restaurants at The Works
The Upper Westside’s growth includes new restaurants, breweries and entertainment. “The commercial district is driving the area,” says St. George. “People, sprawling breweries, fun spots like Topgolf and local restaurants." Local favorites include Nuevo Laredo Cantina, which has been serving homestyle Mexican cuisine since 1992, and Henri’s Bakery & Deli, an Atlanta staple since 1929, known for cookies, French pastries and sandwiches. Scofflaw Brewing Co.’s taproom has indoor and outdoor seating, while Chattahoochee Food Works anchors The Works, a mixed-use development that opened in 2022. On Marietta Road Northwest, The Companion occupies a renovated hardware store with hand-painted murals, bookshelves, and an outdoor bar. Publix at Moores Mill Center is just a mile away. “The neighborhood is close to Vinings. People often go there or to Smyrna and Buckhead for shopping and dining,” she says.
Residents can head to Chattahoochee Food Works to try over 30 food vendors.
Nuevo Laredo Cantina is a popular restaurant in Bolton that residents often go to for lunch.

MARTA bus stops line Marietta Boulevard, and Piedmont Atlanta Hospital is four miles away.
