Druid Hills, right in the center of Atlanta is an upscale community and one of the oldest communities in the area. Made famous by Callanwolde, the magnificent Tudor-style mansion, which was built in 1920 as the home of Charles Howard Candler, eldest son of Coca-Cola founder Asa G. Candler. Shopping an absolute pleasure in this community too at Candler Park, an area of a quaint block of shops and restaurants with something for everyone.

Candler Park also boasts vintage clothing, spectacular wedding dresses and Atlanta’s best piercing parlor.
