The oldest planned Buckhead neighborhood
Off the bustling Peachtree Road, Peachtree Heights East was the first planned community in sought-after Buckhead. Surrounding Duck Pond Park, the neighborhood is filled with large old-growth trees and greenery that offer a reprieve from the bustling city less than 10 miles away. A small enclave of around just 600 homes, Peachtree Heights East, has multiple community groups, including the Lady of the Lakes, a women’s club, and various events throughout the year. “It is a wonderful little community,” says Sara Ohmer, a Realtor with Harry Norman Realtors and a long-time resident of Peachtree Heights East. “It is a very quiet neighborhood because it's between Garden Hills and Peachtree Hills, so we don’t get much traffic. Since you’re only a block off Peachtree, you can access all kinds of dining, shopping and groceries.”
Peachtree Heights East is a densely forested Buckhead neighborhood.

Relaxing at the private Duck Pond Park
The neighborhood's crown jewel is the 7.5-acre Duck Pond Park at the center of the neighborhood. The lush green space features rolling terrain and is popular for walking, reflecting, or watching some of the nearly 30 species of birds that inhabit it. The park, a collection of three parks – Duck Pond, Lower and Middle Parks - along Parkside Avenue, was deeded to neighborhood residents in 1933 by Una Rivers, so the park receives no city funding. The neighborhood is just north of the Atlanta BeltLine, a 22-mile network of trails and parks along a historic railroad corridor, which Northside Trail can be picked up at Atlanta Memorial Park. Bobby Jones Golf Course is not only an 18-hole course nearby, but locals can hone their game at the Grand Slam Golf Academy, practice their putting at the Dan Yates Putting facility or enjoy a meal at Boone’s restaurant.
Peachtree Heights provides nature and quiet streets, right among the attractions of the city.
