Family-focused luxury in West Buckhead

Not entirely suburban and not entirely rural, Paces is an affluent neighborhood in West Buckhead, Georgia that mixes family life with quiet luxury. While statement-making manors are easy to find among the twisting roads and thick woods, more modest residences can also be found here. Multi-acre properties lining the banks of the Chattahoochee rest at the neighborhood's edge. Residents can also find several restaurants and shopping areas nearby. Some are across the bridge in the Vinings community, and others lie just across Interstate 75.

This Paces home tops the charts at more than 10,000 square feet of living space.

Manors, villas and hidden beauty

“There are pretty houses everywhere you look, and everyone’s got an acre or two or three,” says Realtor and resident of more than 25 years, Christine Bradley. Long roads wind through vast fields and trees, weaving between Spanish Revival villas, Gothic Revival manors and Victorian-style family homes with large shrub- and flower-decorated gardens. These houses often feature plenty of architectural décor, like columns and brightly colored roofs, as well as luxury features such as pools and on-property tennis courts. The most extravagant homes might cost more than $12 million, but homebuyers can also find areas of the neighborhood where more modest three- to four-bedroom houses from 1950-1980 run between $500,000 and $800,000. There are also condos in the area, which may run between $200,000 and $350,000.

Just across the bridge from Vinings dining

While the neighborhood of Paces is primarily residential, there is plenty of shopping and dining just across the river. Canoe Restaurant serves as a riverside American venue. The rustic and artsy brick and ironwork interior creates an elegant vibe, and the waterfront offers a walking trail for after-dinner strolls. In nearby Vinings, popular chain stores like Home Depot, Kroger and Publix provide locals with necessary groceries and shopping. Closer to home, the Paces-Ferry Plaza offers the higher-end grocery store Whole Foods, as well as dining at Houston’s, a classical American steakhouse.

Residents in Paces can grab a seat at the bar at Canoe, serving farm-to-table American cuisine.

An accessible commute into Atlanta

Paces is 7 miles north of Atlanta with an easy commute down due to the neighborhood’s location along Interstate 75. “You have city life with the quiet, friendly atmosphere of a suburb,” says Bradley. Narrow roads running through the neighborhood and plenty of natural spaces and yards around houses make the area very car-dependent. Still, public transportation is available, especially close to the city, as several bus stops sit along Route 41.

Residents in Paces can easily hop on the interstate providing access to all of Metro-Atlanta.
