More About Druid Hills

One of Atlanta’s oldest and most respected neighborhoods, Druid Hills has been impressing residents and visitors alike since its origination in the late 1800s.

Designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (whose accomplishments already included Central Park, the US Capitol, Biltmore Estate, and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park), Druid Hills has been called “a rare example of Olmsted’s design intentions intact in its principal features,” according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
