Named the National Association of Realtors’ No. 1 market to watch in 2023 and beyond, Atlanta is one of the South’s most iconic and thriving cities. It has experienced an increase of almost 70,000 residents since 2010 thanks in part to its low taxes, robust business sector and rise of attractive condominium enclaves.

Each Atlanta neighborhood has its own vibe and personality, where residents can choose from high rises in Midtown to revitalized architecture in Westside Atlanta. Decatur offers an exciting college town feel while East Point is both quaint and historic. No matter the preference, each neighborhood appears to be booming.

Buckhead, Atlanta’s prestigious financial district, is particularly hitting it off with luxury buyers. Its spacious, service-oriented condos are encouraging the development of trendy restaurants and community spaces nearby, propelling the city’s economy forward and enhancing connectivity within the city.

“Recognized as one of Atlanta’s most coveted addresses for both residents and visitors, Buckhead’s central location ensures accessibility from other parts of the city,” says Bob Vail, President of Kolter Urban. “We are proud as a firm to have a hand in developing a new wave of real estate in Buckhead. Traditionally dominated by single-family homes, Buckhead has recently transformed into a condominium hub, driven by buyer preferences for convenient locations, top-notch service and illustrious amenity packages. We wanted to create a space that reflects the present while honoring the city’s rich history. Kolter Urban is at the forefront of condo development in the Atlanta market, with no intentions of slowing down.”

Anne Schwall with Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty adds, “In the heart of Atlanta’s thriving real estate landscape, Buckhead stands as the jewel of luxury living, endorsed by The National Association of Realtors as the top market to watch in 2023. The district’s evolution, driven by a wave of rightsizing, has paved the way for luxury condominium developments, such as The Dillon Buckhead, an 18-story tower offering massive floor plans and long range city and skyline views. Buckhead is unique in that it offers a blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication in a central location, continuously drawing residents seeking a vibrant and upscale urban lifestyle.”

“As the chief of staff to Georgia’s governor 20 years ago, I had to become familiar with every corner of the state, from sleepy one-stoplight towns to the densest enclaves of its biggest city,” says Eric Tanenblatt, Chair of the Buckhead Coalition. “Nowhere was as dynamic and vibrant as Buckhead. In the same neighborhood, we have blue chips in towering skyscrapers and young families on quiet, tree-lined streets. That’s not something you find in New York or Chicago. That live-work duality explains why we’ve taken a plurality of Atlanta’s millennial population growth since 2000 and why we’ll continue to lead the region.”

"Buckhead has always been the premiere neighborhood in Atlanta," says Bobby Julien, CEO of the Kolter Group. “It’s great to see the national media acknowledging the growing market demand."
