From French Colonial-Revivals to modern architecture
“It’s an eclectic mix of architecture,” says Nikita Todd, a Realtor with Boulevard Homes, who has been selling in Atlanta for over a decade. “You’ll see Spanish-style homes, French colonial homes, historic Tudors, midcentury moderns, modern architecture.” Prices in Northwest Buckhead - which comprises the neighborhoods of Argonne Forrest, Arden-Habersham, and Wyngate - vary as wildly as the styles. Buyers could find a renovated 1950s 2,500 square-foot ranch-style home for $1 million or a recently built mansion with formal gardens and a pool for $8 million. But what homes in the area do have in common is large lots. Think a half-acre or more.

Play tennis at Atlanta Memorial Park
Some subdivisions in Northwest Buckhead have pocket parks that sit like medians, funneling two roads into one. They have benches and small paths, making them a great place to rest while dog walking. There aren’t any larger parks in the neighborhood; however, numerous are a short drive away. About a mile south of the neighborhood, Atlanta Memorial Park spans 200 acres and includes trails, playgrounds, tennis courts and more. Bobby Jones Golf Course, a public course with a reversible 9-hole layout, is also within the park. Piedmont Park is about 5 miles from the neighborhood and has a lake where visitors can feed ducks, tennis courts and a pool. At night, visitors might see a light show when the park’s Legacy Fountain shoots more than 70 colorful jets skyward, with the Atlanta skyline as a backdrop. On Moores Mill Road, the YMCA offers locals a place for indoor recreation and sports leagues for all ages.

7 miles to downtown Atlanta
Backstreets in Northwest Buckhead connect to U.S. Interstate 75 and U.S. Interstate 85, which lead downtown, about 7-miles away. “It’s easier to get in and out of the city from that area,” says Todd. “Traffic is pretty thick, so having easy access to I-75 makes a world of difference.
