Buckhead is Atlanta's byword for luxury — a district of gated estates, elegant mid-rise condominiums, and tree-canopied streets that has long defined the upper end of the city's market. Living here means designer shopping, celebrated restaurants, and some of the metro's most sought-after addresses, all minutes from Midtown and the interstates.
