Between the bustling business hubs, eclectic art galleries, boutique stores, fine dining, great schools and abundant green space, it comes as no surprise that the Buckhead area of Atlanta is one of the most coveted and upscale places to live in the entire metro area.
However, Buckhead is not just reserved for the wealthy. In fact, Buckhead comprises nearly 40 distinct neighborhoods, with homes of varying sizes and price points for a variety of budgets. If you dream of living in Buckhead, Atlanta, here are a few tips for finding the perfect home for you.
Decide what type of home you are looking for.
Buckhead offers more than just historic bungalows and sprawling estates. In fact, a growing number of luxury townhomes and high-rise condos are springing up around Buckhead as certain areas are catering to a more upscale, urban lifestyle. Narrow your search by deciding what type of home you are interested in buying. While single-family homes of various sizes are always an option, if you like the idea of having amenities without the burden of upkeep, you might want to look at a townhome or condo. All three options are readily available in Buckhead.
Decide on your budget.
Determining how much home you can afford — or even how much you prefer to spend — will go a long way toward narrowing the field to find your perfect Buckhead home. While many people think of this area in terms of its million-dollar properties, there are still neighborhoods like Peachtree Park and Garden Hills where homes are more affordable and accessible to first-time homebuyers.
Narrow it down by neighborhood.
Every Buckhead neighborhood is a little different, and each has its own advantages to attract buyers. Those who enjoy the city life might gravitate toward the shops, restaurants and high rises of Buckhead Village, for example. On the other hand, if you prefer quiet streets with plenty of green space, Peachtree Heights might be more your speed.
