Buckhead is easily one of the most desirable places to live in Atlanta, and for good reason. Beautiful estates situated on rolling hills serve as a constant reminder of the city’s historic beauty while modern high rises and mixed-use developments stand as proof of its continued entrepreneurial drive forward. This dichotomy has been described another way by the Atlanta Journal Constitution as “where old money lives, new money parties.”
However, Buckhead is not just for the rich and famous: its abundance of housing options, things to do and proximity to major business and retail districts are attractive for a diverse mix of families, singles and professionals looking to enjoy upscale amenities paired with an urban lifestyle.
