Gracious Living: Upscale homebuyers will be delighted with the opulence and history found around every corner in Druid Hills. All beautiful, you will find a mixture of Georgian, Jacobean, and Italian Renaissance estates, as well as well-appointed townhomes.
Druid Hills is one of the few neighborhoods in Atlanta that isn't marked by new development. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead in the 1800s, it was one of the city's first suburbs, and was home to Atlanta's elite, such as Asa Candler, the founder of Coca-Cola. The community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and the Druid Hills Civic Association maintains the strict standards of the neighborhood with government officials and residents.
