Populus Westside Apartments

Populus Westside Apartments is a gated, three-story community with 286 apartments at 1315 Northwest Dr NW in the Upper Westside. Completed in 2023, it is one of the area’s newer properties, set in a quieter part of the Westside away from West Midtown’s restaurant clusters.

What amenities does Populus Westside Apartments have?

The community’s website lists washers and dryers in the apartments, a fitness center and private garages within the gated grounds. It has a dog park and a pet spa, but its website doesn’t state a pet policy, so ask before applying. Fees and pet rules change, so confirm them with the leasing office.

Where is Populus Westside Apartments located?

Northwest Drive is in a quieter part of the Upper Westside, where much of the surrounding land remains industrial or low-density residential and new housing has arrived more gradually than in the core of West Midtown to the south. Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (formerly Westside Park), the largest park in Atlanta, is in this broader part of the city, and Marietta Boulevard is the main connection south to The Works on Chattahoochee Avenue and the Howell Mill Road corridor. Populus sits apart from the directory’s other Westside buildings: the closest, BRYKS Upper Westside and Broadstone Upper Westside, are about 2.7 and 2.8 miles away.

Getting around from Populus Westside Apartments

No MARTA rail station is within two miles of Populus Westside, so a car is the most practical way to get around. Marietta Boulevard and Howell Mill Road lead into West Midtown and toward Interstate 75 for Midtown, Downtown and Buckhead. MARTA buses serve the area’s main corridors.

Who is Populus Westside Apartments a good fit for?

Renters with a car who want a new, low-rise gated community with in-unit laundry and private garages, away from the busier parts of West Midtown. Pet owners should confirm the pet policy first.
