Quiet Atlanta neighborhood with rolling hills and towering pines

True to its name, Pine Hills is an established residential neighborhood with rolling hills and towering pine trees. Although Pine Hills is just minutes from Downtown Atlanta and shopping meccas like Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, the area is quiet and peaceful. “There’s a lot of cool wildlife here,” says Ken Kraften, local and Realtor with RE/MAX Metro Atlanta. “I ride my bike in that area in the morning, and the other day, I saw a huge buck.”

Midcentury modern homes from the 50s and 60s, plus newer condos

Distinct for its sizeable collection of midcentury modern homes, most of the residences in this Buckhead neighborhood were built in the 1950s and 60s. “There are a lot of midcentury moderns that have been renovated. They have big front lots with huge front yards and long driveways,” Kraften says. However, the neighborhood also has newer, modern homes and condos. “If you look on Lenox Road. there are a lot of condo communities, but in most of Pine Hills it’s big houses,” Kraften says. “The houses are expensive. The low end is $600,000 and it goes up to the millions.” On the other hand, a one-bedroom condominium starts at around $200,000.

Prestigious private schools and well-rated Atlanta Public Schools

“A lot of people in Pine Hills send their kids to private schools,” Kraften says. Among the several well-regarded private schools nearby are Atlanta International School and The Galloway School, both with A-plus grades from Niche. Pine Hills is also served by the DeKalb County School District and the Atlanta Public Schools system. Students attending Atlanta Public Schools will begin at Sarah Smith Elementary School, which earned an A-minus. Students will progress to the B-plus-rated Sutton Middle School and A-minus-rated North Atlanta High School. North Atlanta High School opened in its current building, an 11-story converted office complex, in 2013. The school cost $147 million to construct, more than any other school in Georgia’s history.

Brunch at Toast On Lenox and other options at Lenox Square

For eating out, locals enjoy Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant & Cantina for standard Mexican fare like chile rellenos and fajitas. Known for their “monster margaritas” as much as their cuisine, visitors can dine indoors or outside on their expansive patio. Toast On Lenox is the go-to spot for brunch. Its menu satisfies with options like strawberry shortcake French toast and chicken and waffles.

Pine Hills is the perfect "in town" neighborhood. Close to shopping and jobs in Buckhead and nightlife/parks in Midtown Atlanta. It is relatively safe, for being in Atlanta and we have a very large community group that is very active.
