Welcome to Chamblee

History

Buckhead began as a small rural community in northern Fulton County, taking its name from a buck's head mounted above a local tavern. Annexed by Atlanta in 1952, it transformed into one of the Southeast's most prestigious residential and commercial districts — attracting corporate headquarters, luxury retail, and high-net-worth residents who established its enduring reputation as Atlanta's premier address.

Location & Geography

Buckhead is located approximately 6 miles north of downtown Atlanta along Peachtree Road, bordered by Sandy Springs to the north, Brookhaven to the east, and Midtown to the south. MARTA rail at the Buckhead, Lenox, and Brookhaven stations connects residents to downtown and Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. I-285 and GA-400 provide primary highway access throughout the metro.
