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.
