History
Home Park was developed in 1901 as housing for workers at the Atlantic Steel Mill located where Atlantic Station is today.
Over time and due to the schools' close proximity, it has 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.
Because of its location directly south of Atlantic Station and north of Georgia Tech, it has recently seen an increase in property values and development and a moderate increase in crime.
