Midtown

With Piedmont Park, Georgia Tech, plenty of restaurants, major events, the BeltLine, and thousands of jobs within walking distance, living in Midtown is a lifestyle decision for those looking for vibrant city living. Its central location and great transit access make it easy to get to many places in Metro Atlanta.

Most homes in Midtown are condominiums, ranging from older low-rise buildings to luxury high rises with skyline views. Compared to many major cities, an average sale price of $411,674 makes owning a condo in the heart of the city relatively attainable. In the eastern part of Midtown— the Garden District— single-family homes and townhomes offer lower density housing close to the action, often commanding some of the highest prices in the city, with single-family homes often selling over $1 million.

More than $3 billion in development projects are underway in the growing district. Plans include the Winship Cancer Center at Emory Hospital Midtown, office towers like Spring Quarter and the Campanile expansion, and several apartment buildings and student housing with ground floor retail. Street design projects, the Art Walk, and small parks and plazas are also planned to enhance Midtown’s public realm.

Buckhead is a collection of neighborhoods in northern Atlanta including the mostly residential areas of Brookwood, Ardmore Park, Collier Hills, West Paces Ferry, Chastain Park, Lindbergh, Garden Hills, and Peachtree Hills. The Buckhead Village, North Buckhead, and Lenox areas offer a mix of high-rise condominiums, shops and restaurants, office towers, and hotels.

The Buckhead area is popular for homeowners looking for tree-lined streets, traditional architecture, convenience, and often highend homes. Most neighborhoods have access to greenspace within walking distance, ranging from small neighborhood parks to Chastain Park, Bobby Jones Golf Course, and the Northwest BeltLine.

Although most of the land in Buckhead is dedicated to singlefamily homes (often on large lots), most of the homes sold in late 2022 were condominiums, typically found along primary streets like Peachtree Street or near Buckhead Village and Lindbergh.

Several projects are planned in Buckhead, including expansions at The Shepherd Center and Phipps Plaza, The Dillon condominiums, several new apartment buildings, and extensions of the BeltLine and PATH 400 trail.
