Garden Hills Real Estate - Atlanta, GA

Located in the heart of Buckhead, Garden Hills is a close-knit neighborhood that dates back to 1925. Developed by Atlanta lawyer Phillips Campbell McDuffie, Garden Hills was originally intended as a country club-type community, where luxury homes surrounded a pool and community center. This still stands true today, with old trees, winding streets, and pool, the latter a mainstay for most residents during the summer months.

More About Garden Hills

Most homes in Garden Hills are original to the neighborhood, built in the mid to late 1920s. Modern development has moved in, as well, with newly constructed homes dotting the landscape and going for well over $1 million. Architecture varies, from Georgian to Tudor to Craftsman. There is also a smattering of ranch styles, as well. Nearly all Garden Hills homes, however, have been renovated and meticulously maintained.

Civic & Neighborhood Associations

Garden Hills is also home to the Atlanta International School, an independent education facility schooling both American and international students. Additionally, the Garden Hills Civic Association plays a large role in the upkeep of the neighborhood; the Garden Hills Garden Club is responsible for the numerous green spaces in the neighborhood. The Garden Hills Pool and Parks Association, as well as the Garden Hills Neighborhood Foundation, play a large part as well.
