What local amenities does this area have to offer (parks, community center, recreation programs)?

Atlanta has a number of parks, the two largest being Piedmont Park and Chastain Park. We also have the largest aquarium in the world right in the heart of downtown Atlanta.

 Can you describe the local school system, and what type of education children get here (private, public, charter - focus on sports, the arts, etc.)? 

Atlanta has excellent private schools including Westminster, Lovett, Pace Academy and many others. We also have strong public schools.

 What is the community culture like (i.e. private, gated, urban, diverse, etc)?

There are many communities in Atlanta each with their own personality. I specialize in the Buckhead market with neighborhoods including Tuxedo Park, Chastain, Garden Hills, Haynes Manor, Peachtree Hills and others. Midtown's Ansley Park neighborhood is very popular for those that want to be in town with access to the arts, amazing restaurants and shopping. Brookhaven is another beautiful community slightly east of Buckhead.

What is transportation like to the area's major surrounding cities, or within the city?

Transportation has been challenging for Atlanta. Living in town either in Buckhead, Midtown or downtown has the least amount of commuting issues. Living north or south of the city is very challenging if you are commuting into Atlanta every day.
