Bowen Choice Neighborhood


The 74-acre Bowen Homes site is the core of Atlanta’s second Choice Neighborhood revitalization and a major catalyst in securing a brighter future for the West Hollowell Corridor. In a rapidly gentrifying part of Atlanta, it represents the last major opportunity for affordable housing development of any scale on the West Side. The site redevelopment plan is the centerpiece of a much larger effort led by Atlanta Housing over 2021-2022 to map out coordinated public investments to attract private development to stabilize the area, increase connectivity, enhance environmental stewardship, create economic opportunities, and ensure equitable development throughout this part of NPU-G.


The vision of the Bowen Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan is Regeneration - transforming a historically neglected and environmentally stressed part of Atlanta into a vibrant community with first-class mixed-income housing, retail, green space, civic amenities, and high-performing schools, rooted in the personal experiences and stories of a place and its people. The initial six phases of housing will provide 756 rental units, with 75% of the total units affordable up to 120% AMI; the remainder of the site will include at least 1,244 units in a variety of types and densities. The master plan incorporates ground-floor amenities, a new central square and other green spaces, a linear stormwater park, new streets and trails to reconnect Bowen with the natural environment and adjacent neighborhoods, and features to mitigate the effects of climate change.
