Kingswood
Buckhead is known for retail and dining
Residents can choose between two Whole Foods markets on either side of Buckhead for groceries. There are numerous small boutiques at Buckhead Village or luxury designer stores at the premier Atlanta destinations of Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza. For a quick bite or a special occasion, the OK Café has been around since 1987 and serves Southern staples in a diner with decor that gives off nostalgic, home-cooked vibes. The Blue Ridge Grill specializes in seafood dishes, while Houston’s offers ribeye steaks and rotisserie chicken. To cap off the night, head to Whiskey’s Blue Rooftop Lounge at the W Hotel for a drink with picturesque views of the Atlanta skyline.

Large estates on tree-dotted lawns
There are wide-ranging types of houses in the neighborhood, from renovated ranches and midcentury moderns to large estates. Properties in Kingswood have well-manicured lawns with added privacy from tall oak trees, while some lots are gated or fenced in. Most residents have made their backyards their own oasis, with pools to beat the hot Georgia summers. Homebuyers should expect original ranch-style houses with little renovation to go for around $1 million, but prices rise quickly — and single-family homes can reach well above $4.5 million, depending on the square footage and lot size. The market moves steadily and listings average 154 days before being sold. While Kingswood has no enforced HOA, its homeowners association collects voluntary dues that goes to added private security, landscaping common areas and community social outings, including Halloween and other holiday parties.

Chastain Park hosts golf, an amphitheater and a playground
Chastain Memorial Park is just a short drive away and is the closest green space to Kingswood. The park is 260 acres and has multiple trails, a playground, tennis courts and a horse park. They also host the Chastain Park Amphitheater, a Live Nation venue for concerts from May to September. For golf lovers, there are three public golf courses — Chastain Park, Bobby Jones and Cross Creek — all 4 miles from home.

Atlanta Public Schools, with private options close to home
Atlanta Public Schools serves Kingswood's youth. Nearby schools include Warren T. Jackson Elementary School and North Atlanta High, both holding an A-minus overall rating from Niche, while Sutton Middle School is rated a B-plus. The high school is housed in a former IBM office building that was converted for the school. Many neighborhood parents, however, elect to send their children to private schools, including Pace Academy, which is just across the street from the Kingswood entrance. The Westminster School or Atlanta International School are two more options in Buckhead.
Kingswood is 9 miles from downtown Atlanta on Interstate 75
Interstate 75 runs west of Kingswood, and residents can drive into the heart of downtown Atlanta after 9 miles. For commuter rail, the nearest MARTA stop to Kingswood is the Buckhead station, four miles east by Lenox Square Mall. Johnston notes, “While you can't walk to restaurants or schools, the neighborhood is enclosed — so the only traffic coming in is people going home. It's common to see your neighbors taking their dogs for a walk.” With ease of access to bustling Atlanta, or retail in Buckhead, residents can find a comfortable landing spot in Kingswood.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
