Home Park sits west of Georgia Tech, between the connector and Howell Mill. Built in the 1910s-1920s as a working-class neighborhood for nearby industrial workers, it’s now an unusual mix: undergraduate and graduate Tech students renting older bungalows alongside young professionals buying renovated stock. The neighborhood association is active, and renovation has been heavy since 2010.
What makes it different
Investor and rental presence. Home Park has more rental and student-tenant houses per block than almost any intown neighborhood. Owner-occupant buyers can find this mix charming or disruptive depending on the specific street.
Tech-adjacent value play. Bungalow prices here trail comparable Inman Park stock by 30 to 40 percent. For a young professional or grad-school household, the equation has been compelling.
What to watch
Game-day noise. Saturdays during Tech football season transform the neighborhood. Some buyers love it, others didn’t realize what they signed up for.
