Oakland City is a historic neighborhood in southwestern Atlanta, Georgia, just southwest across the BeltLine from West End and Adair Park.
Oakland City was incorporated as a city in 1894 and annexed to Atlanta in 1910.[2]
Oakland City Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It contains wood and brick bungalows as well as Minimal Traditional, English Vernacular Revival, and Craftsman houses. The district included the Withers House, which was demolished in the first decade of the 2000s.
The neighborhood is served by the Oakland City station.
Between 1970 and 2010, Oakland City experienced notable decline. However since 2010, the neighborhood has undergone major revitalization. Crime, property values, demand, and diversity have notably improved.[3]
In 2024, it was announced that Murphy Crossing, a 20-acre development along the Beltline’s Westside Trail, will be the site of one of four new MARTA rail stations in Atlanta. The station is scheduled to be completed by 2030[4] The last MARTA rail station opened in 2000.[5]
