Druid Hills
An Olmsted-designed masterpiece — grand historic homes, Emory University, and Atlanta's most beautifully landscaped streetscapes.
What's happening in the Druid Hills market.
Housing Styles
Druid Hills was designed in the 1890s by Frederick Law Olmsted, creator of New York's Central Park. The neighborhood features grand early 20th-century homes in Georgian, Tudor Revival, Italian Renaissance, and Craftsman styles. Many properties are on the National Register of Historic Places. The linear park system and winding, tree-canopied streets are part of Olmsted's original vision for a park-to-park residential community.
Market Trends
Druid Hills commands premium prices reflecting its Olmsted design, historic significance, and proximity to Emory University. Homes with original architectural details and Olmsted-designed lots are particularly valued. The market is stable with strong demand from professionals affiliated with Emory, Emory Healthcare, and the Centers for Disease Control, which is headquartered nearby.
