The front yard is beautifully landscaped and there's a paved walkway up to the front porch.
Druid Hills was developed at the turn of the 20th century and later served as the backdrop for the movie Driving Miss Daisy. The Druid Hills Civic Association is a strong community group that has vigorously defended the neighborhood against all threats to the existing quality of life. The group is active and committed, and maintains excellent communication among residents. Find out more at the DHCA web site. Frederick Law Olmsted (the father of American landscape architecture and designer of New York's Central Park) laid out the neighborhood around a series of linear parks along Ponce de Leon Avenue. Druid Hills has attracted Atlanta's affluent families since its inception, and features some of the city's best residential architecture along its beautiful, park-like streets. In addition to the linear parks along Ponce de Leon, other recreational and cultural amenities in the area include: Emory University's Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts and Michael C. Carlos Museum, the private Druid Hills Golf Club, Fernbank Forest and the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center; Candler Park (home to a public golf course, tennis courts, a pool, and new playground), the PATH (a multi-use urban trail that is very popular with walkers, runners, cyclists and bladers), and Freedom Park.
The Druid Hills neighborhood is adjacent to Emory University on the northeast side of the City of Atlanta. This home is located in the northeast section of Druid Hills near Sage Hill Shopping Center, the Zonolite Road business district, and close to the very popular Virginia-Highland business district. You'll find more shops and restaurants at nearby Downtown Decatur, Candler Park, and Emory Village. Within a 3 mile radius there are the shopping and restaurant districts of Midtown, and Little Five Points. This area is also convenient to the huge Edgewood Retail District, which features over 500,000 sq. ft. of retail space including major national chains such as Lowes; Office Depot; Target; Bed, Bath & Beyond; and Kroger as well as many other stores.
This location offers a particularly easy commute to Emory/CDC, the American Cancer Society headquarters, Emory Healthcare, and Egleston Children's Hospital. The area is convenient to I-75/85, GA 400, I-20, and I-285. It is served by MARTA bus routes and is just blocks from the East Lake MARTA rail station, which provides an easy commute Downtown or to the airport.
