Characteristics

Transportation

Buckhead is moderately well-suited for those who prefer to get around as pedestrians; many common errands can be run without a car, and there are also a fair number of businesses close by. On the other hand, the bike is a sometimes poor means of transportation in this community since riding a bike is rendered arduous by the often sloping terrain, and the cycling network is not very comprehensive. Cars are a very good transportation option in Buckhead. It is easy to park, and the majority of homes for sale are a reasonably short drive from the closest highway, such as I-85. However, the transit infrastructure in this area is fairly poor. Thankfully, there are a multitude of rapid transit stations with access to the Gold and Red. The community is connected by about 30 bus lines, and bus stops are typically very close by.
