With all the different neighborhoods and various types of homes available in the Atlanta real estate market, it can be confusing for a first-time homebuyer in Atlanta to figure out. For example, perhaps you prefer city living to the suburbs, or you would like to find Atlanta luxury apartments for sale rather than looking at single-family homes right now. Where do you find these units? In what neighborhoods should you be looking for them? Let’s explore a few ways to narrow your search.
Start Your Research Online
Most prospective homebuyers tend to start their search online with Google. Perhaps you have already tried this route — if not, a simple search for “Atlanta luxury apartments” can be a good start. The challenge, though, is that most apartments are actually for rent rather than for sale, so you may find yourself probing for the metaphoric needle-in-a-haystack before you find apartments you can purchase. If nothing else, this step will give you an idea of the types of units available in Atlanta and where they are located.
Best Neighborhoods for Luxury Atlanta Apartments
Fine Atlanta luxury apartments and townhomes can be found all over the area, but several “hotspots” have emerged with a larger number of luxury high-rise developments. These complexes tend to offer roomy floor plans with plenty of square footage, high-end touches (from luxury appliances to marble countertops!) and abundant building amenities (fitness centers, pools and more), and they are often positioned in walking distance to great shops and restaurants — the perfect setup for an upscale urban lifestyle.
If these types of luxury apartment communities appeal to you, try honing your search down to Intown Atlanta neighborhoods:
- Urban Buckhead communities like Brookwood and Peachtree Park
- Midtown Atlanta near Georgia Tech, Atlantic Station or Piedmont Park
- Cities near the perimeter, like Dunwoody and Sandy Springs
- Cities outside the perimeter, like Roswell and Alpharetta
You may also find some fantastic one-of-a-kind loft apartments in some of the more eclectic neighborhoods being re-developed — for example, Cabbagetown, Old Fourth Ward, Downtown Atlanta and East Atlanta.
Work with a Knowledgeable Agent
Of course, the best way to save time and energy looking for Atlanta luxury apartments for sale is to work with an experienced Atlanta real estate agent.

A good agent will have insider knowledge of hotspots, up-and-coming neighborhoods and specific leads that even long-time Atlantans might miss.
