Why Buckhead Forest appeals to families and young professionals
In the early 1900s, Buckhead Forest developed as a streetcar suburb, with charming homes tucked along winding roads and spacious lots. Today, the neighborhood is a designated historic district that preserves much of its original character while also embracing a more urban edge, shaped by upscale shopping centers, towering office buildings and major roadways. Residents are just a short walk from public transportation, and Downtown Atlanta is about 7 miles south. This blend of a park-like setting and metropolitan energy makes Buckhead Forest appealing to both families and young professionals.
Buckhead Forest is a historic neighborhood located in the northwestern part of Atlanta.
Buckhead Forest is one of the more walkable areas of the greater Atlanta area.

How the historic designation affects homeowners
Buckhead Forest’s collection of early- to mid-20th-century single-family homes has earned the neighborhood a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. This designation doesn’t impact a homeowner’s ability to renovate their property, but it does encourage preservation through tax incentives and grants. “Residents have naturally avoided making drastic changes to their homes, which is why the neighborhood got its designation in the first place,” says Andi Stein, a Realtor with Atlanta Communities Real Estate who lives in the Buckhead area. “There’s really a shared effort among everybody to keep houses looking well-maintained and true to their original time period.”
Walkability and public transit keep the neighborhood connected
Buckhead Forest is very walkable and bikeable, making it easy for locals to get to MARTA bus stations and the nearby Buckhead rail station. “A lot of people walk to public transportation, and head to the office that way if they need to commute outside of Buckhead Forest,” Stein says. “But quite a few people also live and work right within the neighborhood.” Offices for law firms, tech giants and finance companies sit along major thoroughfares like Piedmont Road and U.S. Route 19, locally called Peachtree Road.
Buckhead Village offers shopping, dining and nightlife
Several major shopping centers surround Buckhead Forest, including Buckhead Village. The mixed-use development is home to retailers like Alice and Olivia, Warby Parker and Vuori, but it’s best known for its bar and restaurant scene. “You walk a few blocks outside your really quiet, residential street and then all of a sudden you’re at a really nice restaurant or a really fun bar,” Stein says. Some of the village’s most popular spots include:
Yeppa & Co., where guests sip espresso martinis and enjoy dishes like cacio e pepe on the patio
Le Colonial, which serves French-Vietnamese food in a 1920s-inspired setting
Fadó, an Irish pub with Guinness on tap and regular soccer viewing parties
Saint Germain, a cozy bakery known for its colorful macarons and other classic French pastries
Fire-roasted meats are on the menu at Fogo de Chao in Buckhead Forest.
The Big Ketch offers casual family dining in Buckhead Forest.

The drive from Buckhead Forest to Downtown Atlanta
Peachtree Road leads directly to Downtown Atlanta, though the drive can take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on traffic. “Being close to Peachtree helps shave some time off the commute, but once you get on that road, traffic is pretty much always congested, whether it’s rush hour or not,” Stein says.
