- Curious to know what it's like living in Buckhead Atlanta? If you are into shopping, dining, nightlife, and all the fancy things, then Buckhead is the Atlanta neighborhood for you! Buckhead Atlanta is the affluent area of Atlanta, with Buckhead Atlanta mansions ranging anywhere in the $2MM up to a record breaking $18MM!
In this Buckhead Atlanta VLOG tour, I'm going to show you all the hot spots of the Buckhead neighborhood including Buckhead Village (the Beverly Hills of Atlanta), Lenox Mall & Phipps Plaza, I'll show you one of my favorite Buckhead boutique shops, walking trails in Buckhead (Path 400), the Atlanta Beltline that hits southern Buckhead, and I'll show you some Buckhead Atlanta homes in some of my favorite areas including Chastain Park, Memorial Park/Springlake, and the Peachtree Hills/Garden Hills areas. Plus we have to take a quick drive to see what the neighborhoods filled with Buckhead mansions looks like.
Living in Buckhead Atlanta isn't as cheap as other Atlanta neighborhoods. With a median sales price of just over $1MM, it certainly won't be for everyone. However, there are some condos and townhomes that range anywhere from $300K-$600K that still make living in the Buckhead Atlanta neighborhoods obtainable.

Been living in Buckhead and Midtown for the last 15 years. Just relocated to Dunwoody and I'm finding that I love the Dunwoody area, A LOT!
Dunwoody is a great area! I'm def not saying Buckhead is the end-all, be-all. Just showing off this area as many people seem to consider it as an area to live in. Thanks for watching!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta My bad, i wasn't trying to be persuasive in my comment...was just a statement. Great content though, especially for those inquiring. 👍
@@tima.478 no worries, I appreciate the comment!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Cool Beans. ☺
Good stuff, Molly - keep cranking out the videos - your channel is going to eventually become super popular... this type of content is def. in demand! There are so many amazing properties around Atlanta - endless possibilities.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for that. I just remember when I moved to Atlanta and knew I needed to live ITP but trying to figure out what neighborhood was best..that was so overwhelming. Hope these videos help out some people interested in living in Atlanta!
i truly feel in love with Midtown and Buckhead , Love the south and Atlanta :)
I've actually put on my list to make a video debating living in Buckhead vs Midtown. Have you lived in Atlanta before? (I assume you don't live here now).
I’m not yet I’m in route before my birthday I guess , I found an apartment community in the Buckhead village district, I had a typo above “I meant fell in love , what is the best area to buy or rent apartments or homes for Airbnbs , I was thinking starting off in the college park area or so
@@wandastokes9891 If you want to buy for investment purposes, there are so many great places to to buy for Airbnb purposes. College Park could be good as it's near the airport and you can get those folks who need short living arrangements while here for filming movies. (They like being near the airport for some reason - not sure if it has to do with being near the Tyler Perry Studios or just being able to hop on a plane quickly after work is done).

Thanks for the info! Love your content.
Hi Chelsea! You are so welcome. Glad you enjoy it. If there’s ever a topic or location you want me to film a video on, just holler!
Fantastic city Atlanta Molly. Very very good, this Tour is unforgettable 😊😊😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks for watching! This one took longer to film - it's a big area to try and capture.
I grew up in Buckhead and lived there for 40 years. There have been many changes.
Hi Fred! Thanks for watching - yes, I bet you have seen it change a ton if you lived there for 40 years!! Wow!
Its been 18 years since I lived in Atlanta in Dunwoody, thanks for driving me through memory lane.
Aww, you are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Very informative. I'll be sure and say Hello as a new Resident. Thx.
Hey Shelly! Thank you for the comment and glad you liked it! Welcome to the city. :)
Very Good Video... 👍 👏 👌 😀 ☺️ Much Better Prospective of the Buckhead Area. SUPER NICE... THE MODERN HOME AT THE END HAD MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION... Warmest Regagrds From NYC...
Hey Lamar. Thanks for watching! There's more of those moderns sprinkled in that area...in fact I know a new build coming soon there ($2.5MM). It looks so good. But check out my VLOG tour of "Where to Find Modern Homes in Atlanta"...I talk all about modern homes in that video. :) Cheers!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta I will, Thank You... Once Again, Very Good Video...
I love the video and sharing the video and I love the video shown about Buckhead area. I been in Buckhead area before.. Lately some young people love trouble especially teenager kids today.. I'm single and be 44 years-old in two week and three weeks from now..
Keith, I'm not sure how I missed your comments, but thank you for watching! And yes, some of those young teenagers are def putting themselves into situations to get themselves in trouble. Ugh!
this was a great video thanks for sharing .
Thank you for watching!!

Spectacular!! A very special place. I am working on relocating to the North Atlanta area in the coming months.
Nice! Do you currently live in the Atlanta area? Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I just watched one of your videos...you are like the real reporting deal! I want to be you when I grow up!
God bless you and I love you too my new friend. Nice to meet you ..
Buckhead was the place in the late 90s...wow so much fun
I'm sure it looked different then too! That was way before I lived in Atlanta. Thanks for watching!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta
Not even about how it looked...it's unexplainable...you had to be there at that time
Thanks, Molly😃
Great overview of Buckhead. I live here and love it!
Thank you Anisio for watching and glad you love living in Buckhead! I was just in the area yesterday showing condos (and had lunch there too). :)

SORRY about the audio quality! I didn't realize my mic was on a setting that had the volume coming out of one side only. Ugh!
Great channel dear. Try to arrange viewings of apartments and houses for sale... that will add more interests. Love your energy
Thank you. I did that on my initial several neighborhood VLOG tours (well, asked permission to borrow photos from the listing agents) and it became very hard as some agents don't want anyone sharing their photos or taking video - so I've stepped away from doing that because of how time consuming it became.
I born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and born in Grady Hospital and a Grady baby too. I grew up in the Westside Atlanta area in Vine City and English Avenue or Bankhead neighborhood too. I ride MARTA public transportation too and I go different places from Atlanta, Marietta, Sugarloaf Mills Mall,Town Center Mall at Cobb County and I never shopping at no black neighborhood too.
I born in Atlanta and I love Atlanta and my mother been in Atlanta in October 31st ,1967.. My mother is country girl born in Oglethorpe County and my daddy live in Atlanta back in the late 1950s and early 1960s.. My daddy born in Chattanooga Tennessee is a Tennessee baby.
Hey Keith! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. You are a TRUE Atlantan! I'm sure you have all sorts of stories growing up here. I have been in the Vine City/English Ave area a lot more lately - that area is changing...lots of development happening over there. But you are right - the past few years, the young kids are trying to create trouble in Buckhead and all over town.
I don't believe COVID had anything to do with the uptick of violence! at Lennox Mall and Buckhead. It's from people who live in poor neighborhoods of ATL. That venture to the more affluent neighborhoods of ATL unfortunately, they bring their violence and animosity with them. However, great presentation Molly when I move to ATL I'll be sure to have you for my real-estate transaction I like your videos very informative.
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Buckhead always gets more attention due to it being an affluent area- but we certainly saw an uptick in crime happening there right when covid was happening and many cities were having riots from the Floyd case. It was a perfect storm - many people cooped up, angered, etc. It all just boiled over. But yes! Would love to chat more with you when you are ready to move to Atlanta!
I miss Atlanta! Most areas are nicely landscaped and manicured, more attention to detail.
Carlene - you are right. I live Intown and there's a dramatic difference from areas around Piedmont Park vs Chastain Park. More space, bigger lots...I love both for different reasons!
Clearly you are not here for a while. This city has been a mess
Awesome job. I live in Brookhaven, not far from all of that at all. I’ve been wanting to walk the 400 Pathway. Have you done a Brookhaven video?
Thank you for watching! I appreciate the nice feedback.
I have made a video on Brookhaven! Go to my channel and you'll find a VLOG tour of Brookhaven. I focus on 3 neighborhoods around the Dresden Drive area. Great areas!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta nice will do. I’m actually in Cambridge Park/ Silver Lakes. Not far from Dresden. So much going on around here through Sandy Springs…quick note. I had someone offer me a house in Tuxedo Park several years ago due to a family member passing. I passed on that deal…won’t happen again I can tell you that!!
@@klwklw2583 OH MY GOSH!! You passed that up?!? Wow. As they say, hindsight is always 20/20.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta ha. Absolutely. Let me dig up the address. I’ll text it to you. It’ll be interesting to see what became of it
If I had enough money to live in Buckhead, I would live somewhere else.
I agree Kathy - it's not for everyone. I don't like that many areas don't have sidewalks (like in the uber-expensive areas). I like to run and not having sidewalks is a drawback for me.
If you go to Buckhead make sure you have a weapon, the devils are rampant.
I know they've had some issues lately. Thanks for watching.
There is a town in Morgan County, Georgia with the name of Buckhead. The county seat of Morgan County is Madison, Georgia. Madison is routinely ranked state wide and nationally as a perfect place to live.
The politicians tried to get Buckhead to become a real city that wants to succeed from Atlanta due to crime and other negative things but that effort has failed so far.
Hey Bob! Yes, I quickly realized there is a town called Buckhead (when you googlemap Buckhead, GA...it's definitely a different area than Buckhead Atlanta!). And yes, Buckhead has been talking about branching off into their own city for quite some time...from my understanding it has been talked about for over 20 years. Thanks for watching!
Fun fact: 'the buck's head' was adopted into official use as "Buckhead" in an act passed by the Georgia Legislature on Dec 22, 1840, to establish Irby's home as an election district.
Correction: Mall of Georgia is the largest mall in the state at 1.786 million sq ft [not including many shops and restaurants detached but on mall property].
Correction: Aventura Mall [Miami area] is the largest in the southeast at 2.7 million square feet. Lenox ranks 6th at 1.5 million square feet.
Hey, thanks for fixing my errors. I think I meant to say one of the largest malls in the Southeast - sometimes my words don't slip out quite as I intended when filming - I'm juggling a lot of things while out in the streets! Thx for the feedback.
I will love to live, shop, church, and entertainment in Bulkhead.
Hi Helene! Thanks for watching - yes, you can do all of those things in Buckhead. There are certainly some residents that never leave the area - it's all right there.
Atlanta is growing in the 21st century today after 1950s,1960s through 1990s ..
Great content and very gorgeous face 🔥
Thank you for watching!
The house in the intro is President Snows house from the Hunger Games 😃
Yes! I mention that if you listen a little further. Although I messed up and called it Mr. Snow instead of President Snow. haha..sometimes what's in my brain doesn't spit out perfectly - talking to the camera sometimes makes me lose my train of thought.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta I noticed after I commented haha. It was too funny. MR. Snow haha 😊
Alright Already ! are you gonna show us the Estate or are you gonna spend all day on the Intro
Hey Brian, thx for the feedback. Sorry to say - I don't go inside the Swan House. :)
My favorite mansion 20:01
That one is lovely!
Is it also save for black people to live crime rate police harasment?
I am moving to Buckhead soon… I think the residents should donate to a 24/7 private 200-400 man armed security force with vehicles to help with the pirates coming around to take things… maybe I will get that started when I get there… also donations to a charity that helps the less fortunate finds jobs and help pay rent’s like the urban league does… or just get the urban league to partner… if the rich have more compassion for the have not’s maybe they wouldn’t come to Jack and pirate bootie…
Hey! Thanks for watching. I am sure that some of the Buckhead neighborhoods have private neighborhood patrols. The neighborhood I live in (not Buckhead) has their own private neighborhood patrol that is funded by the residents (it's completely optional) but I'm sure Buckhead neighborhoods have created something similar.
Lol the crime in buckhead is crazy but proceed
I'm not going to deny there's been some crazy stuff that has happened there lately. Thanks for watching!
Buckhead residents can't take even a small fraction of what occurs to the south. It's a big old bubble of privilege in Buckhead
Love you Molly.
Thanks for watching!
super nice but expensive
Yes, Buckhead is the most affluent part of Atlanta. But - you can find condos on the less expensive side. But yeah, if you want a single-family home...it can get pricey.
Private high school
your sound is only right? 😅
Yes. 😭 I didn’t realize my mic was on a setting that only had sound coming through one side until I was done filming everything. I was so annoyed but there was no way I was going back to re-record everything. 😂
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta its not a big deal actually... but you can fix that also in the post production: you have two channels on your vocal - left and right - just set both to Mono or Middle, put their panorama knob in the middle. You can do that in screenflow or in OBC or what ever you are using.
@@Miromarkus Thanks for that. I tried searching in the video editor I use (which is just iMovie...nothing fancy--I'm not a renowned film editor..lol) and it doesn't seem to have anything.
Left Buckhead for Dallas, Buckhead has gotten ghetto. Good thing you don't show BuckHOOD at night. Why don't you make a video of BuckHOOD village after 8pm? LOLOLOL There is a reason Buckhead wants to separate from Atlanta. You are brave to make this video.
Hey Chris! Thanks for watching. I still think Buckhead is a nice area - yes, there's been crime but I don't see Buckhead crumbling and people avoiding going out to lunch, dinner, coffee, etc. That said, I don't go out much after 8PM -- #ihavesmallkids. LOL.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Hi, don't go out much after 8pm? That explains why you still think it is nice 🙂
Though "she's my gall", these real estate brokers need to realize who their target market is eneeaiyngoohmbee whudaythangn. Sad too. Buckhood used to be the place to be.
A lot of crime
Buckhead has become Bankhead. No thank you. So has Vinings. 😔😪 The problem with living in Atlanta is that EVERYTHING is so far apart.
agreed that Atlanta is spread out. I used to live in Houston though...and THAT was spread out.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Yes, indeed. Houston is "YUUUUUUUUGE", as The Orange Knuckle-Dragging Neanderthal would say. It makes Atlanta look small. I lived in Chicago and Bah-ston and never needed a car. You're a sweet lady. 🤗👍👍
Buckhead is Bankhead just the criminals are white collared and racist
@@lmiller6675 Actually most of the Caucasian CEOs, CFOs, and COMs are working out of their mansions in North Fulton County, and Forsyth County nowadays. 🤣
@@glenntucker69 and your point?
NO SOUND?
Hmmm, I think the sound seems to be coming through for most. Not sure what might be going wrong that you don't hear the sound?
Must have been my work computer, watching at home with sound
@@marksclemons Work ruins everything! hahaha
You should be showing while u talk
Thx for the input. I really try to add a lot of b-roll visuals throughout my videos so you can see what is going on around me. In fairness, this was a video I made earlier on when I was still getting used to filming out in public so I was still getting used to handling walking/talking/grabbing video clips. (It’s not as easy as it appears!)
Fix your audio levels! Talking too low…music too high..blowing my earbuds out of my head! FYI..your content is good.
Us
Thanks for the feedback. I realized after I was done filming that I didn't have my mic plugged into the right option to feed audio into both sides...I was so annoyed. I'll try to work on not blasting the music in future videos -- just wanted to keep you awake! :)
You lost me at "Lenox Mall." It is Lenox Square. Then I scrolled down and saw "Phipps Mall." It is just Phipps or Phipps Plaza. I am looking around for a home in the Buckhead area. I grew up there, riding my Bike to Lenox Square and see Jaws at Phipps Plaza. I'm ready to move back in the next 12 months or so. I'm interested in a unit at The Peachtree Commons or other well maintained low rise "garden apartments" condos. I know these maybe priced at lower than you prefer to sell but it is what I can afford. Besides, I do not think The Swan House is on the market.
Hi Sarah! You had me laughing at your Swan House comment. :) Forgive me on not writing the proper names of the malls. They are malls so that is the word that came to my brain vs writing their exact proper name, but you are correct on what they are officially called. I work in every price point and there are some lovely units at the Peachtree Commons. I love a good garden condo building loaded with character. If you ever want to chat about your move back to Atlanta, I'd be happy to chat! Do you currently live outside of Georgia? I bet you have good stories of life in Atlanta back when you lived here as a kid!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Thank you for asking. I'm in Atlanta regularly, about once a month. My folks live in North Buckhead. I've been watching the market in this area and Midtown. I'd like to be closer to my folks and not too far from The High. I currently live in Florida. It is a five hour drive to see them. I would like to cut it down to about 15 minuets. (I'm glad my funny about the Swan House was not lost on you :)
@@MsSarah32503 I hear how many people are moving to Florida. Insane! Being by parents is nice - my parents now live 2 hours from me (instead of 12, and it's so nice!)
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Yes, I think about maybe finding a little 1930's bungalow in Jefferson, Ga or Commerce, Ga to put a little more distance between us. My dad has suggested North Druid HIlls where he grew up if I don't want to live in a high rise.
@@MsSarah32503 The North Druid Hills area is a good spot if you don't want to be in the thick of the city life, yet be fairly close to it all. Whenever I'm in those areas, I don't feel like I'm in the city at all. (I did a couple VLOG tours on my channel on Sagamore Hills/Oak Grove...and I think you get a sense for how the area feels in those areas. A lot more space). And I know they have some garden level/older condos/townhomes in that area just off of Lavista.
wouldnt go...shooks are ruining the city😢
156k in NYC you are still poor!!! This is why everyone is leaving the North East and driving your market up
You are right about that. Atlanta has been severely underpriced compared to other big city markets so we’ve been seeing many ppl from pricey areas such as NYC or California come here and finding Atlanta to be a bargain.
Tell your editor that your voice is only in the right channel. It's an easy fix.
Hey Jason, I totally realized this issue (I pinned it in my comments!). I was so frustrated with the sound - I didn't realize when recording that my mic accidentally was set on mono-mode. Anyways, I am the editor (haha) and I couldn't figure out how to fix the audio in the software I was using. (I googled all sorts of stuff and couldn't figure it out). Anyways, sorry about the audio...I'm so annoyed by it but the show must go on.
GET OUT..AINT THE SAME....VERY DARK NOW
Everyone seems to love bashing Buckhead.
*¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡""THEOLD 1920's CAR IS GOING TO BE DROPPED-OFF AT A VERY WEALTHY-ESTATE""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
LOL. After I stopped filming, I realized that I was probably going to be at an exhibit at the History Museum.
Even with the price increases its still goo d compared to NYC and California. 1.7 in NYC and you are still in a poor neighborhood.
Yep. I said basically the same thing in your other comment (before I read this one 🤣)
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Now I see a plan for more housing downtown Atlanta. I remember in the 1990s when few people lived downtown
@@donaldsawyer2618 Yeah, the Gulch is supposed to be a big deal. We shall see. Downtown needs help - it's not my favorite area to hang out in besides the touristy area.
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta Most downtowns are a bit seedy and as cities become more expensive it widens the wealth gap. People will have less places to live they can afford so they will be more people in the street
Nothing but a bunch of rich snobby people live in Buckhead.
Hi George - thanks for watching! Buckhead people definitely get labeled with that. However, I have some nice friends that live there and are far from snobby. But I get what you are saying - I feel underdressed when I'm running errands in the area. :)
Pretty… face
Um , wut
Should have talked about the gross smugness and elitism that infects this area, they are trying to unite around an effort to pull their property taxes from the "you know who" who live in the south parts of the city and form their own municipal government. I grew up in Buckhead myself, and the people there drown in their own privilege.
Thanks for watching Jeff. I bet you have good stories of growing up in Buckhead. I think that is a whole other topic and I really wanted to keep it focused on showing the area.
And crimes
No one want to look at your face all the time,we want to watch Buckhead neighborhood.
Hi Susan. Thank you for your feedback. I really try to add a lot of footage of the area besides just me talking. I would find it weird to not be in the video and just narrate with my voice - I feel like the personal connection would be lost. But, I'm not a film producer, I'm just a real estate agent trying to help show people different areas of town. I wish there would have been neighborhood tours of Atlanta on CZcams back when I moved here 11 years ago!
@@AllAboutLivingInAtlanta You're so diplomatic! Lovely attitude for these not so lovely comments.
@@sthom146 thank you!! I appreciate that. I’m prepared for ppl throwing negative comments…I can’t please everyone, ya know?
This is why our neighborhoods are going to hell stop advertising here
