Once the home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Vine City sits central to the historic Westside, occupying a unique intersection of history, culture, and promise. As reinvestment intensifies across the neighborhood, Vine City is poised for growth that honors legacy and community continuity.

Atlanta University Center

The Atlanta University Center (AUC) consortium consists of some of the foremost Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the country. As more than just campus grounds, the AUC area is a living, breathing neighborhood—home to students, faculty, longtime residents, and community partners. The AUC includes institutions such as Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark Atlanta.

Ashview Heights

Ashview Heights is one of the historic residential neighborhoods of Atlanta’s Westside, located just west of the Atlanta University Center. Established in the early 20th century, the neighborhood grew as a stable community of working and middle-class Black families, educators, and professionals connected to nearby institutions like Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University.
