Getting outside is a part of everyday life in Memorial Park, a Buckhead neighborhood named after one of Atlanta's biggest green spaces.

Home prices and sizes compared to other Buckhead neighborhoods
The median sale price in Memorial Park is around $1.3 million, which is well above Atlanta’s median of about $425,000. However, it’s lower than what you’ll find in other Buckhead neighborhoods, like Chastain Park and Tuxedo Park. Compared to those places, Memorial Park also has smaller homes, with a median size of roughly 2,800 square feet. “There aren’t many sprawling Buckhead mansions here, but what they lack in size, they make up for with charm,” says Cathy LaMon, a Realtor with Keller Williams Buckhead who lives in the neighboring community of Peachtree Battle. Cape Cod cottages, Tudor Revivals and raised-ranch styles make up most of the neighborhood. Many of these houses sit on spacious lots, shaded by huge oak trees and framed by flower bushes and neatly trimmed hedges. Three-bedroom houses usually range from the upper $500,000s to the mid $700,000s, while four- to five-bedroom houses typically fall between the lower and upper $1 millions.

Activities and events at Memorial Park
Most homes are less than a mile from Atlanta Memorial Park, which borders the neighborhood’s north and east sides. Once you arrive, there’s plenty to do, whether that means playing on the public nine-hole Bobby Jones Golf Course or working on your serve at the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center. You can jog, walk and bike along the Northwest Atlanta Beltline, which loops around the golf course and connects to other green spaces. The park also hosts several events throughout the year, including:
Sunday Sweets, when families gather at the playground to enjoy ice cream and snow cones every other month in the summer
The Buckhead Open, a two-day golf tournament in May that draws players from other nearby neighborhoods
Tree Tours, which are guided walking tours focused on identifying the park’s trees and native plants
Plenty of people from outside the neighborhood come for these amenities and events, but residential streets tend to stay quiet. “Even on a nice Saturday morning when the park is busy, there are enough lots that no one ever has to park in front of your house,” LaMon says
Near Memorial Park, Tanyard Creek Park links to the Atlanta BeltLine.

What to know about flooding
Peachtree Creek runs through the park and can overflow after heavy rainfall, putting parts of the neighborhood at risk of flooding. “The golf course and surrounding roads have been completely underwater a few times,” LaMon says. To help reduce this, volunteers with the Atlanta Memorial Park Conservancy regularly clean sewer lines and clear debris from the creek.
