History
Home Park was developed in 1901 as housing for workers at the Atlantic Steel Mill located where Atlantic Station is today.
In 1970, Georgia Tech began expanding its campus north to Tenth Street and west to Northside Drive by purchasing and converting blocks of Home Park residential property for institutional use. During the 1970s and 1980s, the rapidly expanding student population exceeded campus dormitory capacity.
Over time and due to the schools' close proximity, it developed a large student population, being a popular alternative to on-campus housing at nearby institutions Georgia Tech and Georgia State University, resulting in a low owner-occupancy rate.
The neighborhood experienced an increase in property values and land development when Atlantic Station was built. The neighborhood's commercial district experienced a corresponding growth in restaurants, retail, art galleries, services and an expanding residential base.
