You don’t realize that you are near one of the most traveled areas in Buckhead and around the corner there are all these great restaurants.” A geographically large neighborhood with more than 5,000 homes, Peachtree Heights is marked by its variety of housing options in proximity to restaurants and shops along Peachtree Road.

Duck, duck, goose at Peachtree Heights park
Duck Pond Park in Peachtree Heights East hosts many al fresco meals along its still waters or under its sweet gum trees. “It’s a great place to have a picnic,” Cooper says. “It’s a little oasis in the city.” Parkgoers may have unexpected guests in the form of the mallards and geese that roam the greenspace. However, the park outlaws sharing leftovers with the birds. On the north end of the neighborhood, exhibitions, curated gardens and antique structures sprawl across the Atlanta History Center’s grounds. The museum’s rotating exhibits explore Atlanta's history from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond.
