Ansley Park
Developed by, and named for, real estate magnate Edwin P. Ansley, this luxurious suburban neighborhood just northeast of Midtown Atlanta was the city’s first to be designed with automobiles in mind. Wide roads are lined with gorgeous landscaping, highlighting the eclectic collection of houses on display. With architecture ranging from Craftsman and Prairie bungalows to Neo-Classical, Colonial, and Tudor mansions, Ansley Park certainly has earned its spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
Buckhead
The appropriately nicknamed “Beverly Hills of the East” is a district in Atlanta proper, making up roughly the northern 20% of the metropolis. Packed with fine restaurants, art galleries, upscale boutiques, country clubs – and of course, the highest luxury manor and mansion density of any Atlanta neighborhood – this affluent community offers residents a stately and sprawling place to call home.
Druid Hills
One of Atlanta’s first suburban neighborhoods, Druid Hills was laid out with sprawling parks, winding roads, and some of the Metro area’s finest early 1900s period architecture. Homes here take the form of everything from bungalows to mansions, done in Georgian, Jacobean, and even Italian Renaissance styles – with values that regularly extend into the millions.
Historic Brookhaven
Partially located in Atlanta’s Buckhead district and partially within the newly-incorporated nearby city of Brookhaven (whose name actually derives from the neighborhood), this neighborhood consists of numerous luxury homes and mansions surrounding the Capital City Country Club. It’s one of the city’s wealthiest, and filled with multimillion-dollar offerings built as early as 1920, in a wide range of architectural styles.
Inman Park
Packed with early 20th century, meticulously restored Foursquare- and Victorian-style houses, this neighborhood has much more going for it than simply its acclaimed school district and prime location (5 minutes from Downtown Atlanta). Vacancies are rare in highly desired Inman Park, so be prepared to act quickly if you spot one – you won’t regret it.
