Back Upscale into Garden Hills by Miriam Pia
| Fortunately we’re focusing on homes well within the Greater Atlanta area again today. Today’s turf is a Northeastern neighborhood known as Garden Hills. The charm of this stable, upper income neighborhood is that it is ‘an aged planned community’. This means that the sense of crisp newness has been replaced by a deep sense of fitting-in and belonging. The trees have had time to mature and the neighborhood now ‘feels like a natural taken-for-granted-as part of the city.
This neighborhood was created in the 1920′s as a testament to the power of the mass ownership of automobiles, which made commuting feasible. Of course, in those days, only the wealthy had cars. Hence the connection. Homes in this neighborhood do go on the market even now. If you want status as a ‘staple’ of where you reside, Garden Hills may be the right place for you. Often very modest, of only one or two stories in height, the houses in the neighborhood are usually brick. The styles however, vary from Georgian through Tudor to Spanish Revival. If you are amongst the few, those who do belong to their local Country Club, then this is one of the best areas for you to look into. If you are amongst the rest, then you may want to make a walking weekend tour of the area just to soak up some of the atmosphere.
