Wesley Battle

Wesley battle is nestled between Moores Mill Rd and the Cross Creek Golf Course. I-75 runs along the East side so there is convenient access to Atlanta which is due South. This area considered upscale and a shopping mecca for residents near and far.

Crime rates are very low, the community is close-knit and the houses are phenomenal (in looks and price). We are talking million dollar homes here. It has a old hint of southern style and charm with most of the homes and business being in a Neo colonial type architecture. It has a rich history of the old south but a lot of sparkle that is seen in the up and coming neighborhoods around it.

The schools are some of the best with a government rating of B+ so you know the kids are getting a fantastic education. There are a number of privet schools in the area that cater to the wide range of religious and non-religious folks in the area. It has extremely nice thoroughfares that are surrounded by wooded lots and pathways. These pathways are used by many family members to walk in the evening with there children. The area only has about 491 residents in it and it is a site to see for true southern living. Wesley battle is one of Atlanta’s best places to raise a family.

Get it? Battle? Winner? Bad intro jokes aside, the Wesley Battle area (also known as West Peachtree Battle) is yet another expected consequence of the Buckhead/uptown area’s highly cultivated milieu. “Winners” here, are (surprise) those with money and the time to spend it. Whether they choose to spend it on a nice Neo-Colonial, or Neo-Federalist, or Neo-Georgian (most original homes in the area seem to have been dubbed “not big/impressive/Southern-Living enough,” and razed or renovated to better jive with the local aesthetic, which is something along the lines of “Southern prep in the city, y’all.”

Plenty of nuclear families here, partly owing to the pro-family feel these neighborhoods tend to nurture, and partly due to the number of chichi private schools within carpooling distance. The Country Club atmosphere is greatly enhanced by the fact that there are two golf courses a short drive away (and the bad jokes continue) – Cross Creek, which lies within the boundaries of Wesley Battle, and the famous Bobby Jones.

All the typical Buckheadian amenities are close at hand; meaning you won’t go hungry for $60 bottles of chardonnay or Lily Pulitzer sundresses. Peachtree Creek flows through the neighborhood, forming its southern border, providing some nice wooded walks and no doubt increasing property values (though those looking to move to the area might keep the flood of 2009 in mind – many lots along the creek were swamped by up to 20-foot swells). Still, it’s nothing a little flood insurance won’t fix; and all part of the price of being a winner. Cheers!
