Peachtree Hills

One of the most coziest neighborhoods close to Atlanta, GA, is the Peachtree Hills neighborhood. It is apart of what they call Buckhead, and it is actually located east of Peachtree road right between Peachtree Creek.

This neighborhood actually use to be a project on the American Securities CO. of GA back in the year of 1910.This is definitely one of those places where life is worth living for those people who are actually interested in moving out thee.

There are so many different antique shops that people can visit, as well as shopping centers and fabulous restaurants for people to take interest in.There are so many different choices that people can pick from when it comes to apartment complexes. They offer a nice gym and recreation center in the area as well for people who are interested.

They also have a popular elementary school for kids in the neighborhood to actually attend. This is one neighborhood that is worth looking into if you are looking for a pleasant place to re locate to in Atlanta. This is one of the most popular and laid back areas that has so much to offer to it's residents.

Yes, it’s considered Buckhead and, yes, it fits the ($$$$) bill. You’ll need a pretty golden nest egg, or a wealthy, ailing ex-Coca Cola exec uncle, in order to make the mortgage on one of the Hills’ admittedly gorgeous Old-Atlanta half-acres, many of which sport purposefully ostentatious Sotheby’s signage in their immaculate front lawns. Not surprisingly, given its price tag, its relative sedateness, and it’s location to some of Atlanta’s oldest Buckhead society haunts (not to mention Piedmont Hospital), this particular section of uptown is decidedly more old money than new money. Many residents are of the blue-blooded, blue-haired variety (that’s beneath the $300 dye job, of course), who delight in publicly berating and/or doting upon their bowtie- and Vera Bradley-wearing progeny and grand-progeny at after-service brunch each Sunday. You won’t see much “color” in these parts; Old Buckhead still prefers its primary demographic like it prefers its cotillion dresses. On that note, you won’t see too many Obama bumper stickers, either, unless they read something like “KEEP THE CHANGE” or are accompanied by a sickle and hammer.

But really, are you surprised?

I could say this is all just snark on my part, but having spent six months as a server at a popular fine dining establishment in the heart of the Hills, and having had a majority of these southern “ladies and gentlemen” bark at me over their calf’s liver or lobster BLT in between drawled mouthfuls of saw-edged ‘gossip’ and racist/sexist/classist slurs, I can attest my exaggeration for effect is not quite as exaggerated as one might hope.

But don’t go reporting me to the Street Advisor moderators just yet. Even a jaded, anti-Buckhead soul such as myself can be dazzled by Peachtree Hills’ bright spots. The neighborhood itself is unquestionably lovely, there are some supremely tasty gustatory offerings to be had and some fabulous antique shops to wander through. Obviously, a significant number of the people you’ll rub elbows with as they walk their dogs, pull their toddlers in wagons, or mosey the few blocks to the Peachtree Hills Shopping Center or the ADAC (the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center) are not hideous caricatures of the Old South. As with any other neighborhood in Atlanta or anywhere else, there are people who will feel wholly at home here, and people who will happily cruise by on their way to their own greener pastures. Cheers!
