Druid Hills/Emory
As the only neighborhood in the South designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Druid Hills is known for the quality and integrity of its historic architecture and for the sweeping wide open spaces and the soaring canopy of its mature hardwoods.
Located about five miles east of Atlanta’s downtown, Druid Hills has been the address of many notable Atlanta residents. The neighborhood has four National Register districts: Druid Hills, Cameron Court, Emory Grove and University Park-Emory-Highlands-Emory Estates. Home styles include Georgian, Tudor, Jacobean, and Italian Renaissance as well as early 20th Century Victorian mansions and small bungalows.
The planned community was initially conceived by Joel Hurt and developed with the effort of Atlanta’s leading families, including Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler. It contains some of Atlanta’s historic mansions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Druid Hills includes the main campus of Emory University, which relocated to Atlanta in 1914, as well as the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) main campus. Living in Druid Hills offers residents an urban suburban mix feel and most residents own their homes.
Druid Hills is served by the DeKalb County School System — Fernbank Elementary, Druid Hills Middle School and High School — all top ranked schools.
