Paces, located between Buckhead and the Chattahoochee River, is a residential and river-adjacent Atlanta neighborhood with wooded hillsides and winding estate streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Paces Ferry Road NW near the Atlanta History Center, where galleries, garden paths, and a steady rhythm of local traffic set a polished tone. Landmark Diner adds a classic late-night counter note, while the Swan House grounds at the Atlanta History Center supply a signature backdrop for walks and events. Architecture leans toward large traditional homes and newer custom builds tucked behind mature trees. The geography shifts from high ridgelines down toward river trails and parkland. Daily life orbits around scenic drives, museum lawns, and greenway edges.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Buckhead isn't one market — it's a dozen small ones. High-rise living near Lenox and Phipps, quiet estate streets off West Paces Ferry, or somewhere in between — each pocket has its own price range and feel.
