Atlanta's Hottest Neighborhoods
By Tina W Fountain

Atlanta is known for its extraordinary real estate, and there are many neighborhoods in which you find some of the finest estates and properties in the South, if not the country.

Homes with historic significance, lush, sprawling estates, and homes with jaw-dropping architecture and equally impressive grounds are just the beginning of what the upscale neighborhoods of Atlanta have to offer.

Alpharetta
As one of Atlanta's most stately communities, Alpharetta has gone from wide, open farm land 20 years ago to one of the most-sought after communities in Atlanta.

Located just minutes from the North Georgia Mountains, Alpharetta offers a spectacular respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, commuters will find the commute in and out of the city to be quite agreeable.

Loads of outdoor activities are enjoyed in Alpharetta, including off-roading adventures and community parks. In addition to its beautiful surroundings, Alpharetta is also home to a beautiful array of dining options and high-end hotels, as well as seven shopping districts.

Ansley Park
Located within close proximity to Atlanta's downtown convention district, Ansley Park has become known as one of Atlanta's most desirable neighborhoods, particularly for professionals.

Built upon the neighborhood concept of Druid Hills, Ansley Park was originally built to suit the elite of Atlanta during the early 1900s. It is now known for its wide, winding streets, mature landscapes and lovely community parks. In fact, the extraordinary homes and estates of Ansley Park are only rivaled by the surrounding beauty.

Brookhaven
Some of Atlanta's most prestigious neighborhoods and estates are found in Brookhaven, Atlanta's first "country club" neighborhood. Located on the northern edge of Buckhead, Brookhaven is home to a lovely array of English, Colonial and Tudor homes.

In addition to its historic homes, the landscapes and gardens of Brookhaven often bring visitors to this superb area of Atlanta.

Druid Hills
Known as one of Atlanta's most prestigious communities, Druid Hills boasts beautiful, historic homes and properties that have landed it on the National Register of Historic Places.

The homes of Druid Hills, in addition to being quite grand and upscale, were once owned by a myriad of famous and influential people, including Asa Candler, the founder of Coca-Cola.

Much of the architecture of Druid Hills has Tudor and Georgian influences.

Dunwoody
The community of Dunwoody has come a long way from its roots as a small farming community. Recognized as one of Atlanta's most upscale communities, Dunwoody is home to about 40,000 residents.

Dunwoody, which is overseen by the powerful Dunwoody Homeowners Association, is a closely knit community of prestigious homes and picturesque surroundings.

Vinings
Vinings enjoys a small-town community atmosphere, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The atmosphere of Vinings can be best described as quaint, as wide sidewalks, quiet streets and beautiful homes dictate the scenery.

Vinings Village has historic roots, as it was created by the Western & Atlantic Railroad in 1836. The Vinings Historical Society and Homeowners Association have worked to keep the community's historic significance.
