…a city within a city
Buckhead has long been heralded as the go-to spot for Atlanta nightlife.

While other ’hoods are trying to keep up, Buckhead remains a bright spot on the Atlanta entertainment map, flush with restaurants, bars, luxury hotels, shops (some hope the central shopping area will develop into something akin to Rodeo Drive), office buildings and residences.

Housing isn’t cheap here, but Buckhead apartments, high-rise condo towers (more than 50!) and single-family homes on tree-lined streets offer variety. Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza malls (which offer the highest concentration of high-end retailers in the U.S.) share the ‘hood with standard big box retailers, and more exclusive shops like Gucci and Tiffany flourish.

In fact, if you practice retail therapy, this is definitely your ’hood. Buckhead contributes generously to Atlanta’s reputation as the “Shopping Mecca of the Southeast,” with over 1,700 retail stores and boutiques.

Looking for famous neighbors? Buckhead Village may just be for you. The Georgia Governor’s Mansion is in the ‘hood and Sir Elton John keeps a home in Buckhead, too.

Who knows? Maybe the Rocket Man will need to borrow a cup of sugar. (We definitely know where he buys his sunglasses…)
