Other things to note --West End-- West End is a safe neighborhood located approximately two miles southwest of Downtown Atlanta. The neighborhood pre-dates Atlanta, and a large section of it is a designated historic district, boasting many houses from the 1890s through the 1930s. The area is walkable, with well-lit, tree-lined sidewalks, crosswalks, and a mix of uses. Most of the area is residential, but there are also a few commercial areas, including Lee + White, a complex with dozens of restaurants, breweries, shops, plus a beer garden. There are several parks as well as the Atlanta Beltline, the multi-use trail that connects West End to the rest of the city. --Parking-- Parking is on-street, around the corner.
