Around Druid Hills

Druid Hills is a gem just east of downtown Atlanta, where history and natural beauty come together under a canopy of old-growth trees. Designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted, the neighborhood’s winding streets invite you to slow down and enjoy the scenery—especially in the beloved Olmsted Linear Park, a favorite spot for walks and picnics.

Locals love visiting the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, where dinosaur fossils and hands-on exhibits delight both kids and adults. Nearby, Emory Village offers a cozy mix of coffee shops and restaurants, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

The homes here are just as captivating. You’ll find stately Georgian and Colonial Revivals, storybook Tudor Revivals with steep roofs and brickwork, and welcoming Craftsman bungalows. Each style adds to Druid Hills’ timeless charm, making it one of Atlanta’s most picturesque neighborhoods.
