If you know you are in the market for a new luxury condo in Buckhead, then it would be beneficial to use one of these beautiful summer days exploring the area. In particular, you could visit the area surrounding The Aramore and the new Atlanta condos The Astoria at the Aramore. You could take a day analyzing the exhibit on display at the High Museum of Art and then enjoy a tasty dinner at nearby Restaurant Eugene or Holman & Finch Public House, both of which are located in the Aramore building. Or only a tiny bit further down Peachtree is Atlanta’s most famous park – Piedmont Park, where you could challenge a friend to a flag football game, enjoy a romantic picnic with your significant other or take your best friend (meaning your dog) for a leisurely walk. Lined with flowering trees, Piedmont avenue is a beautiful street to take a stroll upon, and accenting this street are numerous retails stores with unique finds. If the day turns into an evening event, look to the Fabulous Fox Theater, which is currently hosting its summer film festival. There will hardly be a day of boredom when living in the Buckhead area of Atlanta with so many recreational outlets at your fingertips. Thus, the most important stop you should make on your day around Buckhead is at the sales center at the Astoria so that you can call this amazing neighborhood home.
