Buckhead is a beautiful, trendy area of Atlanta with woods, gentle hills, and high-rises, located just north of Midtown. It’s famous for its nightlife and restaurants. As a matter of fact, there are more than 100 restaurants in just a 2.5-block area. “One of the top ten affluent places in the nation," Buckhead is home to numerous boutiques and the sophisticated Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square Mall. Many, many condos are available in Buckhead, and with the economic downturn, this is an excellent time to buy.
