Druid Hills houses valuable Atlanta history and some of the city’s most iconic homes

Upscale Luxury Historic University Public Transportation Restaurants Entertainment

Developed with the help of some of Atlanta’s wealthiest families, Druid Hills has become one of the most famous neighborhoods in Atlanta thanks to its impressive homes. The neighborhood was home to nearly all members of the Candler family (of Coca-Cola fame) at one time, making it a popular locale for Atlanta’s elite.

Druid Hills isn’t all imposing luxuriousness. The area is centered on Emory University, whose large student population brings an energetic feel to the stately neighborhood. There are plenty of apartment communities housing students and professionals alike, all just a short distance from the charming restaurants, shops, and venues on campus.

Other popular areas like Virginia-Highlands and Little Five Points are just a short drive away. If you don’t have a car, however, there’s MARTA service to and from the Emory area.
