Tuxedo Park: The Exclusive Neighborhood in the Heart of Buckhead

Just minutes from Midtown/Downtown Atlanta and a stone's throw from Interstate 75 and Georgia 400, is the upper-class neighborhood known as Tuxedo Park.

Bordered by Blackland Road to the North, West Paces Ferry to the South, Valley Road to the East and Northside Drive to the West; the tree-lined roadways and rolling hills of picturesque landscaping are the backdrop for some of the most magnificent estates in the city.

Teeming with history, Tuxedo Park was not only the camping ground of Federal Troops during the Civil War as they captured the city of Atlanta, but it was also the site for a "Gone With The Wind" Premiere photo shoot in 1939. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard posed for pictures in front of an Adam-style home on Blackland Road.

A rural area until wealthy Atlantans began to build summer retreats along Paces Ferry in 1904, Tuxedo Park's architectural history includes a who's who among renowned architects and builders. Charles H. Black, a wealthy Atlanta landowner, purchased 300 acres in order to develop what is now known as one of the city's stateliest neighborhoods. Starting in the mid $700,000s and reaching the $20 million mark, these historic homes are most noted for their
Georgian, Italianate, Tudor and Greek Revival styles.

Tuxedo Park is just minutes away from Midtown and Downtown's spectacular array of shopping, dining, entertainment and nightlife. Additionally, the conveniently located upscale shops and dining of Buckhead ensure you don't have to travel far from home to enjoy some gourmet fare, retail therapy or whatever else you may be in the mood for.

The Tuxedo Park neighborhood is close to another wonderful Atlanta gem: Chastain Park. Boasting a golf course, athletic fields, equestrian center, art gallery, swimming pool and incredible outdoor amphitheater - a world of leisure and entertainment is located practically right at your backdoor.

This distinguished community also has a structured and well-organized civic association that works to "protect and enhance the integrity" of Tuxedo Park.

Top-rated education is also available to Tuxedo Park residents, as it is served by some of Atlanta’s finest schools, which include Jackson Elementary, Sutton Middle School and Northside High School.

Nestled on enormous lots with surroundings so lush and natural you might mistake your whereabouts for a National Park, the estates of Tuxedo Park are the preferred residence for a number of notable Atlantans. Whether it's a Governor, a golf pro, or a soft-drink magnate, these folks are representative inhabitants of this stunning neighborhood. These exquisitely appointed homes have a curb appeal second to none so it stands to reason that this is one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
