A blend of renovated historic homes and new construction
“Sometimes we say that neighborhoods and houses are charming because it’s a buzzword, but this is textbook charm,” says Andy Griesinger, a Realtor with eXp Realty Ballantyne. “All of the homes are a little bit older, and they have a really good feel to them.” Some homes here date back to the early 20th century, while others were built as recently as 2025. You’ll find classic Bungalows with low-pitched roofs sitting alongside symmetrical Colonial Revivals, towering Tudor Revivals and meticulous Craftsman homes. Many of them have fenced yards leading to wide streets lined with sidewalks that are shaded by mature magnolia, maple and oak trees. There are also townhouses and condo communities.

It’s super close to all the hotspots.” Menya Daruma is among the neighborhood’s most popular restaurants, serving traditional Japanese ramen.
