“Everything you wanted to know about Buckhead” Just North of downtown Atlanta, the gem of Atlanta—Buckhead—holds the best of both worlds as its treasure. A quick drive to the fascinating spots outside the perimeter, or immediate access to the wonder of attractions and conveniences inside the perimeter, Buckhead has it all. With nearly 100 art galleries, world renowned shopping and dining, proximity to Atlanta sports, activities, hiking trails in town, and just a half day’s drive to the scenic Appalachian Trail, there’s no second guessing the best zip code in Atlanta. Craftsman bungalows are now worth 50 times their original value, and with Buckhead the discerning buyer has a reason to live in town again. Buckhead has 10 official districts: Bennett Street (Design District); East Village; Lenox Square; Miami Circle; Peachtree Hills at Kings Circle; Peachtree Road; Piedmont Road; Roswell Road; South Buckhead; and West Village. The city boasts beautiful houses of worship, including Ahavath Achim, the nation's third largest Conservative Jewish congregation; Saint Philip's, the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, the nation's largest Episcopal congregation; and Peachtree Presbyterian, the nation's largest Presbyterian congregation. Buckhead was once known as the preferred retreat for Atlanta’s gentlemen elite. A century later, it’s where the cosmopolitan savvy come to live, work, and play. Home to The Governor’s Mansion, a three floor, 30-room, Greek Revival style home built in 1967 and standing on approximately 18 acres, Buckhead holds the reputation as key political and business hub of Atlanta. The Governor’s Mansion rests in the idyllic Buckhead community, Tuxedo Park. The elegant homes range from Georgian and Tudor to Italianate and Greek Revival; the lush natural environment unifies the district. Homes on large lots often are nestled in woods or sited beyond a rise in a rolling park-like setting. Phenomenal entertainment surrounds Buckhead’s lavish neighborhood. Chastain Amphitheatre continues to wow audiences with amazing musical guests year after year. The city is home to Atlanta’s theatre district, where sell out crowds wrap the sidewalks during season. Buckhead isn’t just for the grown ups. Near the Atlanta History Center, The Center For Puppetry Arts, The Bear Rock Café, Family Fun Days and Story Times at renowned venues such as Lenox Mall, the Buckhead community is perhaps the safest, most family-friendly district of the city. Six Flags over Atlanta, White Water Park, Stone Mountain Park, and Fernbank Science Center are all a quick drive away. A similar drive north takes Buckhead residents to Lake Lanier and its prestigious yacht clubs, The North Georgia Mountains and Appalachian Trail; a weekend get away to Helen or even the Biltmore Estate are not out of reach from the well situated community of Buckhead. If you’re moving to Atlanta, Buckhead is calling. If you’re relocating from somewhere close by, the old city’s reputation proceeds itself. The Ben Hirsh Team knows Buckhead, and know how to help you find your place in town.
