About Homes for Sale in Buckhead

Buckhead Community

Located in Fulton County with an Atlanta address

Buckhead, one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, is located in the northernmost part of the district of Atlanta. It is a mecca of sophistication and opportunity that offers decadent restaurants, world-class hotels and legendary shopping. Buckhead plays a significant role in the Atlanta area and is a great place to visit, play, work and live.

Neighborhoods

Homes of wealth and elegance are nestled among the lush native greenery that is synonymous with the Southern landscape and lifestyle. Buckhead comprises most of the neighborhoods of Atlanta’s north side — more than 40 in total. While much of west and north Buckhead is preserved as single-family homes in forested settings and rolling hills, the Peachtree Road corridor has become a major focus of high-rise construction.

Buckhead roughly covers the interior of the “V” formed by I-85 on the east and I-75 on the west. It is bordered by Cumberland and Vinings in Cobb County to the northwest, the city of Sandy Springs to the north, Brookhaven and North Druid Hills in DeKalb County to the east, Midtown Atlanta to the south, and West Midtown to the west.

The Buckhead community boasts many award-winning public and prestigious private schools, including the Atlanta International School, The Westminster Schools The Lovett School and Pace Academy. Public schools in Buckhead are administered by the Atlanta Public Schools.
