Developments in outlying areas Southwest of Buckhead as far North as Bolton are sometimes given Midtown West designation. However it would probably be more appropriate to call some of them West Buckhead due to their geographic locations. Nevertheless, since the boundaries can either be considered created by realtors and developers or by the boundaries of the most recent gentrification in that area within areas of similar character and adjoining geographies, then it is appropriate to list Bolton, Blandtown, Berkely Park and Hills Park for now (collectively part of Neighborhood Planning Unit "D"). These areas are North of West Marietta Street and Atlantic Station along wither Howell Mill, Chattahoochee Plantation, or Marietta Blvd and include a combination of single family neighborhoods, warehouses/brownstones, loft communities all recently gentrifying. It is reasonable to assume that if gentrification continues and no association is formed, some of these neighborhoods may in the future may join the Buckhead community. However, for now, there are developments cropping up with the Midtown West name in these areas. [1] [2]
The second paragraph sounds too much like a brochure, but I'll leave that up to someone else to clean up.
What 19th century brownstones is the author talking about? There are NO 19th century brownstones still in existence in Atlanta, except Baltimore Block. This needs to be changed. Carsonmc ( talk) 20:31, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
First off, "Midtown West" is a neologism of the past five or so years... more exactly the past five or so years of condo naming. Second, this name just... nobody uses it! This side of town has been referred to as "Westside" for years! I am so tired of politicians renaming the streets in Atlanta and developers renaming the neighborhoods. So easily is history tossed aside in the name of a quick buck! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.166.175.129 ( talk) 20:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
The vast majority of news sources and such have reflected the desire of the residents that the neighborhood be referred to as Westside. I'm making those changes. I'll start pointing to other news sources as soon as I have the ability to move the page, etc.. ATLResident ( talk) 23:08, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. The proposed target, Westside, Atlanta, is not a redirect to this one but is a freestanding article on a related topic. One option would be a conventional merge in which the material in this article gets merged into Westside, Atlanta. Such a merge would require talk page consensus but not another RM.

Westside, Atlanta – It is claimed that Westside is a more commonly used name for this district. Relisted.

I have applied this template due to a discussion with User:ATLResident who would like to see the article title changed to Westside. Through this process we can have the discussion on this page and come to a conclusion. However I personally oppose this name change Keizers ( talk) 22:09, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Support: Westside is the more common moniker used by the media and locals.-- Mmann1988 ( talk) 19:07, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
