On the Market: Ginormous New Buckhead Home is Surprisingly Tasteful
Click here to view the full photogallery. Normally when we see a house touting its 20,000 square feet of living space, we gird our loins for an exercise in OPEC Minister-grade gaudiness. You know, lots of gold and loud marble, ornate ‘theme’ rooms of disparate styles and a special money-burning fireplace. But when this listing was brought to our attention, we were struck by the relative tastefulness of the decor. Does one really need a full indoor golf facility and a gymnasium complete with still rings? We can’t say, we’ve never had John Daly or an Olympic gymnast in… >>

On the Market: A Crisp Renovation in Garden Hills for $789,000
Click here to view the full photogallery.

Invoking the specter of the bad old days of Buckhead (when it functioned as Atlanta’s quasi-French Quarter ), the Buckhead Coalition is making noise about that pesky old ‘noise of the night.’ Apparently people are beginning to complain about (we assume) the ambient sounds of the young and inebriated as they come and go from Buckhead hooch emporia. This is a tough one. The businesses and citizenry of Atlanta do seem… >>

Buckhead Chronicles: Buckhead Reached the Sky; Now What About the Ground?
[The Buckhead skyline at night, photo credit Velvtjnz via Panoramio.] With construction on Buckhead Atlanta (aka The Streets of Buckhead) slated to finally resume in early 2012 and a density-increasing redevelopment of The Paces apartment site imminent, the Buckhead Community Improvement District hired the design/consulting firm Kimley-Horn to study the best ways for the Buckhead Village to absorb the growth. With the dismantling of the Buckhead bar district years ago, Buckhead lost most of its connection to the pedestrian. The study group is looking to remedy that and has taken an aspirational approach, looking to Dupont Circle… >>
