For many years, this was an industrial part of town with small, semi-rural residential neighborhoods. Since the 1990s, the area once again attracted residential development because of its excellent location in proximity to the interstate and the more well-known intown neighborhoods. This area features a mix of new homes and renovated older homes. The popular Atlantic Station multi-use development is located about a mile from Underwood Hills. It features residential, entertainment and retail components as well as hotel and office space. The District at Howell Mill is another large new shopping center nearby. It features major retailers including: Wal-Mart, Ross, TJ Maxx, PetSmart, Starbucks, and more. [More about area development.]
