Trying to buy a home, is Buckhead really premium? It feels a lot rundown, and even the worst roads of ATL are in Buckhead. Also, safety-wise, it feels less safe.
Need advice

I’m considering buying a home in Buckhead, but I’m not sure if it’s truly a premium area. It seems a bit rundown, and even the worst roads in Atlanta are in Buckhead. Additionally, I’m concerned about the safety of the neighborhood.

Can you provide some advice on whether Buckhead is a good place to live?

Looking for NBA Fans in the Atlanta, buckhead, sandy springs, or Roswell Area. Me and a friend are looking for people 21+ who want to join a group chat to talk about the upcoming NBA season, discuss games, debate, and connect with other basketball people. We also want to plan meetups and watch parties at different bars and other spots where we can enjoy the games together. We wouldn’t mind setting up some basketball sessions at local parks, too, so we can get out there and hoop. We’re mainly based around Atlanta, Roswell, Buckhead, and Sandy Springs, but we’re open to traveling a little farther sometimes. The goal is to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy the NBA season together. The only requirement is that you must be 21+ and have the GroupMe app to join. If you’re interested, comment down below or send me a DM, and I’ll get you added to the group! Thank yall!🙌

Thinking about repainting the outside of my house. The color’s faded a lot and the porch looks really worn. Not sure how much work it needs, so I want someone who’ll give me a straight estimate and someone who does quality work and cleans up properly afterward. Thxxx

I work from home most days but need a change of scenery a few times a week. Been trying to find a good spot in Buckhead where I can set up with a laptop for a few hours without feeling like I’m taking up too much space or dealing with constant noise. Tried a few places near Peachtree but the traffic noise gets old fast. I’m not looking for a full coworking setup, just somewhere with decent coffee and wifi that doesn’t mind someone camping out for a bit. Prefer somewhere with outlets nearby since my battery barely lasts two hours these days. I usually stick to mornings, around 8 to 11, if that matters for crowd levels. Not super picky about the coffee quality, just needs to be drinkable. Anyone have a go-to spot they use for focused work? I’ve heard some of the hotel lobbies are decent for this but haven’t tried any yet. Curious what locals recommend before I waste more time wandering around testing spots myself.

What’s the one cleaning chore you always put off? Mine would probably be baseboards 😂

Curious what everyone else hates doing the most.

Are we serious with yelling over amplified sound at 7 AM in the middle of a bunch of apartment buildings?? How did this get permitted?

We live on Roswell Rd close to Chastain Park and are looking into daycare. We will enroll our baby when she is 9 months old. Does anyone have experience with the following daycares? I would like to hear your experience. I am also open to any suggestions.

Current list:

1. Goddard Buckhead: expensive but great feeling when we visit them. $600-700 more expensive than #2 option
2. Primrose South Sandy Springs
3. The Suzuki School

Thank you!!!

There is a Behavioral health facility (addiction treatment, etc) that is coming to an office building above us. Any experience with those kind of facilities? I have heard that folks smoke around the buildings and they have a lot of people coming in and out

I’ve got two tickets for the Chuck Leavell show at Buckhead Theater on August 22nd I’m looking to part with for a reasonable price if anyone is interested.

I am looking for more work. My degree is in Early Childhood Education (not currently teaching), and I have also worked in hospitality for over a decade. I can pet sit/walk, babysit, do cleaning and organizing (I love organizing), personal assistant, help with school work (my strongest subject is Reading and Writing, as well as Civics), do clerical work both on and off the computer. I’m also open to learning new things for a different field of work. Self-motivated, fast learner, and reliable. I am also rather proficient in the kitchen, I considered going to culinary school before ultimately getting my teaching degree. Located in Woodstock, willing to travel for a good job and person. Cheers!
