Druid Hills
Druid Hills is one of the most successful and affluent
residential communities in Atlanta, and is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Home to Callanwolde, built in 1920 for
Asa Candler, the founder of Coca-Cola. And 822 Lullwater, the house
used in filming "Driving Miss Daisy." Curving, winding roads circle
around the Tudor, Georgian and Traditional two story style
architecture. Many of Driving Miss Daisy, these elegant mansions,
are situated on large gently sloped lots, rolling hills and meadows,
surrounded by tall enchanting oaks, magnolias and numerous dogwoods.
Druid Hills is located close to Emory University and downtown
Atlanta. The Druid Hills Golf Club, Fernbank Museum, IMAX Theatre,
and Emory Village are all convenient to the residents, and provide
shopping, dining and cultural events. Druid Hills is an interesting
combination of older more established families and college students.
