2 miles from the heart of Buckhead

Buckhead is known for its upscale shopping, dining and entertainment, and Northwest Buckhead residents are just 2 miles west of the area’s epicenter. During the day, businesspeople bustle in and out of high-rise buildings, and at night, young people hop from bar to bar. Luxury retailers like Dior and Hermes sit near high-end eateries like Gypsy Kitchen, a Spanish spot where lamp chops and octopus are favorites. Bars like Buckhead Saloon and Moondogs light the sidewalks when the sun goes down. The Buckhead Theatre’s art-deco-style building sits across from Charlie Loudermill Park, a pocket urban green space amid rows of commercial and office buildings. The theatre hosts live entertainment throughout the year. Numerous art galleries where locals can buy or admire art are also peppered throughout this area. To grab groceries, locals can head to Publix on Peachtree Road.

You'll find high-rise condos and apartments, stores, and restaurants on Peachtree Rd.

From French Colonial-Revivals to modern architecture

“It’s an eclectic mix of architecture,” says Nikita Todd, a Realtor with Boulevard Homes, who has been selling in Atlanta for over a decade. “You’ll see Spanish-style homes, French colonial homes, historic Tudors, midcentury moderns, modern architecture.” Prices in Northwest Buckhead - which comprises the neighborhoods of Argonne Forrest, Arden-Habersham, and Wyngate - vary as wildly as the styles. Buyers could find a renovated 1950s 2,500 square-foot ranch-style home for $1 million or a recently built mansion with formal gardens and a pool for $8 million. But what homes in the area do have in common is large lots. Think a half-acre or more.

7 miles to downtown Atlanta

Backstreets in Northwest Buckhead connect to U.S. Interstate 75 and U.S. Interstate 85, which lead downtown, about 7-miles away. “It’s easier to get in and out of the city from that area,” says Todd. “Traffic is pretty thick, so having easy access to I-75 makes a world of difference. Otherwise, you could sit in traffic for half an hour or more.” Those who want to skip the drive can head to the MARTA station on Peachtree Road and catch a train into the city. The Piedmont Atlanta Hospital is about 3-miles south of the neighborhood, and The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly 20-miles away.

Play tennis at Atlanta Memorial Park

Some subdivisions in Northwest Buckhead have pocket parks that sit like medians, funneling two roads into one. They have benches and small paths, making them a great place to rest while dog walking. There aren’t any larger parks in the neighborhood; however, numerous are a short drive away. About a mile south of the neighborhood, Atlanta Memorial Park spans 200 acres and includes trails, playgrounds, tennis courts and more. Bobby Jones Golf Course, a public course with a reversible 9-hole layout, is also within the park. Piedmont Park is about 5 miles from the neighborhood and has a lake where visitors can feed ducks, tennis courts and a pool. At night, visitors might see a light show when the park’s Legacy Fountain shoots more than 70 colorful jets skyward, with the Atlanta skyline as a backdrop. On Moores Mill Road, the YMCA offers locals a place for indoor recreation and sports leagues for all ages.
