I’ve written a lot on this blog about all of the great Buckhead real estate deals, especially the foreclosures and short-sales. Not only do I work with buyers in finding Atlanta GA real estate value, but I also recently became a foreclosure buyer. So when I tell my clients to have a lot of patience, and I mean lots of patience, when working with bank foreclosures, it comes with empathy.

After working with my clients on finding a premium Buckhead home, we were able to locate this perfect fit on 67 Blackland Road in the 30342 zip code of Atlanta. It’s a high-end builder’s spec home with high ceilings ad gorgeous millwork.
In this short-sale opportunity, we were able to significantly negotiate down from the $2,495,000 list price. The final sale price balanced the prestige of a rare, flat site on Blackland versus the current market conditions. The backyard is really large and will be great place to build a showpiece swimming pool.
Please give me a call if your interested in a short-sale or foreclosure home in Buckhead, Dunwoody or Sandy Springs.

It appears as if progress on the Streets of Buckhead has slowed down. I can’t say that under this economy it’s a huge surprise, but I still have a lot of enthusiasm about the long-term prospects of the project. In the end it will re-enforce Buckhead as the preeminent, luxury shopping, dining and entertainment destination for the Southeast. Here is what the AJC said about the slowdown:
Work on the $650 million first phase of the project has all but stopped as Carter renegotiates contracts with contractors and works with retail tenants, such as jeweler Van Cleef & Arpel, on when to open. It could be as late as fall 2010, he has said.
Last week Carter also said contract renegotiations netted about $10 million in savings, mostly because raw material costs have plummeted from their peak two years ago.
George, who is in charge of building the project, said a fall 2010 opening date is still feasible. The large construction cranes on the site will remain. He added that Carter is current on all payments.
“This job’s going to happen,” said George. “I’m convinced this job will move forward. There’s no doubt in our minds.”

I get asked a lot of questions about the tree removal rules in Buckhead. In short, if you’re going to cut down a tree of substance, you better call a City of Atlanta arborist. If the tree is dangerous or dead, the arborist will generally let you cut the tree down.
Here is a link to the Atlanta tree ordinance. As you’ll see, there are possible exceptions for some of the more common, “fast growth” trees like Bradford Pears.

Peachtree Park is a great neighborhood in the center of Buckhead. It runs along Piedmont Road, right up to the intersection of Piedmont and Peachtree, sitting behind the Buckhead Diner and the Intercontinental Hotel. The northern part of the neighborhood is older, and generally more expensive, than the southern part. Although, since the southern part was/is less expensive for tear-downs, a lot of new construction has occured in the southern end of Peachtree Park.
With the recent construction of the Intercontinental on Peachtree Road, all through-access to other streets has been blocked. A lot of old-time Buckhead residents can remember cutting through Peachtree Park to Lenox Mall, before GA 400 was built. This makes Peachtree Park a great walking neighborhood; with no cut-through traffic (I’m envious).
In the past, I considered Peachtree Park one of the best values in Buckhead, but home values have continued to rise there. It’s a very desirable place to buy a house and priced accordingly.
Here are the Peachtree Park homes in Buckhead, Atlanta, currently on the market:

I’ve always thought of Collier Hills as those homes on Collier Road and south of the road, but I think, over time, some subdivisions on the north side of Collier Road have crept into the boundaries. Collier Hills ever expanding boundaries are a testament to its desirability.

Garden Hills was developed beginning in 1925 by the Garden Hills Corp. It was advertised as “Beautiful Garden Hills.” A pool and community center was envisioned at its heart.
Garden Hills is a large urban forest neighborhood between Peachtree and Piedmont roads, bordered on the north by Pharr Road and on the south by East Wesley Road. It’s in the Northeast section of Buckhead. Homes in Garden Hills range from Georgian, Tudor and Spanish Revival to Craftsman.
Garden Hills still has a pool which is the heart of the neighborhood and a popular family gathering place for swimming. There is also a playground and soccer field. The clubhouse, built in the 1920s, burned to the ground in 1999, but was rebuilt. Garden Hills is fortunate to have three parks.
The elementary school is Garden Hills Elementary.

Buckhead Forest is 165 homes situated amidst the booming commercial center of Buckhead. This tree-shaded neighborhood is bordered by two of Atlanta’s most beautiful and largest churches: Peachtree Presbyterian and Peachtree Road Methodist. Many of the longtime Buckhead residents refer to this neighborhood as the Buckhead triangle, due to its being enclosed within the triangle of Roswell, Piedmont and Peachtree Roads.
The homes in Buckhead Forest are some of the best values in Buckhead. The homes include historic cottage-style homes from the 1920s-1940s, ranch houses from 1950s and 1960s and new construction.
Buckhead Forest is a very short walk to the exclusive Streets of Buckhead, which will rival Madison Avenue and Rodeo Drive for shopping and dining. Within Buckhead Forest are the Mathieson Exchange Lofts and the Buckhead Forest Mews Townhomes.
Buckhead Forest children attend the sought-after Sarah Smith Elementary which is one of the top public schools in the state.

Although we are currently in a housing market dip, there are great things on the horizon in Buckhead. We live close to the Buckhead Village and are very bullish on the future of Buckhead and its housing.
You can already see the beginning of the Peachtree Boulevard transformation. Peachtree Road will return to its “signature street” status. I think the folks involved with the Buckhead Community Improvement District are great and have done a phenomenal job in returning Buckhead to its past glory as a premier living, dining, shopping, and entertainment destination.
I’m also very excited about the Streets of Buckhead project. Along with Peachtree Boulevard, this project will reassert Buckhead as the South’s luxury destination. It will have an immediate impact on our property values as Buckhead will be a leading brand name known throughout the country.
