The evolution is the real thing? You really are so hardcore? 😶😶😶

[@user-hs8nf9yg9y]

Spot on. I live in Buckhead 30327 and I don’t think people know how big Buckhead is. I love how you highlighted the neighborhood of Buckhead vs downtown Buckhead. Truly a hidden gem in the city of Atlanta.

[@8mydaydream409]

Commutes are not easy between Alpharetta and Atlanta, unless your commute is Sunday morning 🌅 around sunrise! Think traffic jam!

[@Paintandpurses]

100% there’s actually never a good time to commute to Atlanta from Alpharetta 😢

[@CreativeLion2314]

Well, it might be the distance alone. I believe it's well over 50 miles. Took me an hour one way on a Sunday. 😮

[@dinhhuynh1008]

Nice video! Aside from #1, the other 4 neighborhoods are definitely not the wealthiest in Atlanta. For me, the wealthiest neighborhoods are Buckhead, Ansley Park, and Historic Druid Hills, all old money neighborhoods. An empty lot in Ansley Park is over a million dollar.

[@kellycohomes]

You're correct and the purpose of this video was to incorporate the top 5 wealthiest zips in metro atlanta but that would make the titel too long. When people relocate into Atlanta from other states they say they're "moving to Atlanta" not "metro Atlanta" so the video is more broad because of that. Thanks for your comment though!

[@downeys1]

Correct! But, she has nothing to sell on Habersham. BTW, she isn't even close.... Dunwoody on the river, Sandy Springs, Vinnings...

[@dtddwblack]

I agree. I have been living in Atl for 19 years. She don't have a clue what she is talking about.

[@princeoij]

For people that don't know, 30327 is more of Sandy Springs and some of Buckhead/Paces.

[@fbernard08]

No mention of Decatur...City of Decatur Schools, lots of the same amenities and it’s much closer to the city than Alpharetta/Milton, Roswell or East Cobb. Having to commute GA400 and the top end perimeter(285) is always BRUTAL! Those areas are nice but that drive is gonna get old really quick. City of Decatur averages 7-8 miles from Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead. Also, much closer to the airport which is HUGE for those folks who are always press for time tying to catch a flight.

[@KellyCoHomesAtlanta]

Good point. I lived in Decatur before moving to east cobb and would have stayed if, at the time, I could have afforded the home I needed in the school schools I needed. Decatur is a wonderful place to live - I was just there last week! It didn’t make the top 5 wealthiest zip codes which is the only reason it didn’t make this list. Thanks for the comment!

[@jamesbass9797]

@fbernard08 -- Decatur is also one of the most corrupt areas in metro Atlanta. There hasn't been a fair / honest election in Decatur / Dekalb in well over 20 years.

[@valeriebillings7248]

Agree! The Emory area is nice

[@jamesbass9797]

@@valeriebillings7248-- Some of it is I agree but most of it is old homes. Some of them date back to the 1920's & 1930's with some of them going back further than that. And every one of them are extremely way overpriced.

[@kellycohomes]

Agreed! Decatur didn't make the top 5 wealthiest zips in the Atlanta area. And the location of Decatur is convenient for sure. I lived there before moving to East Cobb.

[@user-hh5wq7iy3t]

Lived in downtown Atlanta 1970-1975 (ugh!). Moved to Alpharetta in 1975 when it had nothing but a walk-up Dairy Queen, an Exxon station and mom and pop store. GA 400 was only two lanes. Holcomb Bridge literally had a two lane bridge. Windward was nothing but agriculture and horse farms. Obviously I saw Alpharetta evolve into what it is today. Because of the wealth in Alpharetta, we were the cash cow to downtown Atlanta. Love Alpharetta but very expense to live there.

[@Lyladebo22]

So much crime in Buckhead though..which is why so many are leaving

[@kellycohomes]

It seems to have finally gotten better after being so post covid!

[@julesb3118]

I grew up in 30328, Sandy Springs. Off Riverside Drive, 285 area. I’ve watch every part of Atlanta evolve. Holcomb Bridge was considered the boonies back in the early ‘70s.

[@nikitaolafareabiwon7678]

We just moved to 30066. We moved from South Florida (Sarasota) 2.5 years ago and wanted to make sure we were in a good area for school since our son was 3 years old. He’s now 5 and we’re happy to have in a a great public school zone for next year. What I like most is the diversity here even in Metro Atlanta. It’s a big difference from where we moved. I work in Buckhead and it’s only like 25-30 mins for me. I love going through the back roads of Chastain park. Honestly, those homes are out of magazines. Always inspires me so it was great to see that come in as #1 because I definitely have seen with my own two eyes why it made it to the top.

[@kellycohomes]

Thank you for your comment!

[@izzyizzyizzy5638]

I'm surprised Sandy springs, and Duluth didn't make this list.

[@BrooklynDaDon1]

It was mentioned as a part of Chastain-Buckhead area

Yea, I used to live in Alpharetta, and it is 30 miles from Atlanta to Alpharetta, BUT it takes over an hour to go from Alpharetta to Atlanta during rush hours. But yea, Alpharretta is a beautiful place to live and it's more populous than the previous decades. I was also shocked that you didn't include John's Creek on the list which borders Alpharetta. John's Creek used to be #1 on many list.

[@dinhtran-ld4hz]

Yeah John Creek is number 1... Alpharetta too big to be counted as one.

that's a great zip code!

[@GCarnell]

Good video! To be clear (for those who may not know), numbers 2 - 5 are metropolitan Atlanta cities/areas. They are not ATL proper. Lived in Alpharetta for nearly 6 years (‘03 - ‘08). It was beautiful. Loved living there. Lived there when the city of Milton was established as a former part of Alpharetta …

[@georgehanna507]

When doing a video on Atlanta neighborhoods, it would be sweet to see neighborhoods that are in Atlanta. Also houses in Alpharetta look cheap when compared to say Midtown or Buckhead.

[@cynthiab2962]

I work in Alpharetta, and trust me, nothing looks cheap there. In fact, it's absolutely beautiful.

[@annacox5985]

I love the Avalon area. A friend use to live over there

[@kellycohomes]

Me too!

[@ASAPRR]

True story, post Katrina I moved my family to a rental in East Cobb. Once they rebuilt I bought my first home in 30075 on 07' sold that in 2016 and bought my current home in 30005 in 2018 which has almost tripled in value. It is truly amazing over here. If they build this planned NHL Hockey Stadium next to Halcyon Im hoping it will mean a 5x value for me

[@kellycohomes]

Yes! Everyone's excited about that! I have investors scooping up houses right around it!

[@ASAPRR]

@@kellycohomes I am concerned about significantly higher property taxes though if it goes through.

The way the prices of homes has gone up in the past 3 years is nutz

[@kellycohomes]

Agreed! Prices have gone up as much in 3 years as they usually do in a decade!

[@worldnewsx6199]

Hello great video what about sandy springs.

[@kellycohomes]

Thank you! A bit of Sandy Springs was included in 30342.

[@platinummics01]

This is more about Suburbs than neighborhoods. I was expecting neighborhoods within the city limits of Atlanta. Buckhead, Morningside, Virginia Highlands etc.

[@movisions1128]

WOW!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYZZZZ!!!

[@CG-uk1vz]

Great video, but I think this list is more so skewed to single family homes. To me, newer built single family homes that are more inward to the city (e.g. Virginia Highlands, Inman Park, Midtown) are more expensive than Alpharetta and East Cobb. However, because there are many townhomes and apartments in the city, it brings down the average value of the single family homes. Also, I imagine the single family homes within the perimeter will be more expensive on a price per square foot than Alpharetta and East Cobb because the average home outside the perimeter is bigger.

[@kellycohomes]

These are all good points. I focused on the highest household income so the type of housing didn't factor into the list I created. It would be interesting to run the most expensive attached zip codes---30305, 30309, etc..would be tops I'm sure.

[@tangee1020]

Good video. I grew up in Atlanta, 30317. I went to school in Buckhead. Garden Hills, Sutton & Northside, so I knew Buckhead would be #1 but I was surprised that Sandy Springs wasn’t on the list. I live in Decatur now & I thought it would’ve made the list.

[@kellycohomes]

Sandy Springs was part of the 30342 zip/Chastain Park. And yes! Decatur didn't make the top 5.

[@rodrecusadams]

Buckhead is overate to many break in

[@ajeesh5551]

Hello good ❤❤❤❤

[@douglasvine2516]

I'm not sure how you determined the list order since usually median house value are what's important.

[@carvellakhan3891]

John's Creek?

[@sweettea2097]

I think I was expecting a little more except for #1.

[@ScoutingHouse]

Alpharetta/Milton!

[@leewhaley552]

I grew up in 30327. My family moved there in 1955. Today the pretentious residents in this area hardly know their neighbors and all have alarm systems to protect against crime. The city of Atlanta is a traffic snarled cesspool of crime. We escaped in 2012 for good

[@omegaace3123]

The new upper west side I’m surprised didn’t make it , that’s the new Buckhead with all the shops and breweries, and most houses start in around $800,000 for new construction 👌

[@kellycohomes]

Maybe next year! I agree - I remember selling a condo to a buyer for $350,000 and 4 years later we doubled his money. It's not the same without JCT KItchen though!

[@boricua4evr1]

Forgot to mention traffic nightmare.

[@pickmeisha]

Only the #1 location is Atlanta proper. It would be nice to have a list of actual Atlanta neighborhoods.

[@kellycohomes]

For Atlanta proper the top 5 would be 30327 (chastain park), 30305 (Buckhead), 30307 (Druid Hills-ish) , 30319 (Brookhaven) and 30306 (Morningside).

[@ChronicPassion]

Sorry to say this … but after buckhead.. I believe , Alpharetta and suburbs of Alpharetta are getting much more expensive than actual Atlanta.

[@g.neptdadaaa]

How you not mention Druid Hills or even Gwinnett !?

[@robirvine788]

It's so funny to see what's considered a wealthy neighborhood in Georgia is no comparison to a wealthy neighborhood in Florida

[@Cityofemeralds]

How is that?

[@ShaneConlan]

None of these, minus Chastain Park could be considered Atlanta. These are metro Atlanta suburbs. When you say neighborhoods, you think of Inman Park, Candler Park, Virginia Highland, etc.

[@tw4943]

Cascade is not on the list? Like how

[@kellycohomes]

I'll have to go back and see where that zip fell on the list. I know 30310 didn't make the top 10 but I opened it up to metro atlanta.

[@tonyrat8086]

John's creek and Sugarloaf should have made the list.

[@matthewsfan41]

Lady seems nice. However info given (if it is literally supposed to be the top five wealthiest neighborhoods) is incorrect. Chastain is the only one correct for the most part. And the shopping she showed related to Chastain is not even in that ZIP Code. Bottom line, nobody in Atlanta that knows real estate would say those first four zips are the best we have. They may be nice and have a few multi million dollar homes and country club sprinkled in there. But they are not where the Multi million dollar homes are lined up side-by-side for a very long drive.

[@yemisi5191]

What about John's Creek?

[@kellycohomes]

Johns Creek has 7 zip codes shockingly. Part of 30005 is Johns Creek which made the top 5 list.

[@johnpresley6342]

Buckhead is crime infested and would not even put it on this list. My list would be Milton-Alpharetta, Johns Creek-Alpharetta, Duluth-Sugarloaf, Cumming-Forsyth County, East Cobb and maybe Roswell. I gave 6 instead of 5 internet police 👮‍♀️.

[@martyyvonnebeauty9222]

I feel like it should go without saying that when we say Atlanta we mean the metro Atlanta area.

[@Paintandpurses]

I live in Alpharetta, zip code 30004, surprised to hear you say this is referred to as horse country; maybe more so on the Milton side of 30004; not Alpharetta side. We do have some of the best schools as well 😊

[@kellycohomes]

Yes, the Milton side although there are parts of Alpharetta that do have horse farms still!

[@MsLadyAllure]

These are the close outer skirts of ATL. 30 min on a good day.

[@Naija4K]

You mentioned Alpharetta twice. Those zip codes should have been combined and a location within the city proper should have been included.

[@kellycohomes]

Good point- Alpharetta flows between 2 zips that fell in the top 5 wealthiest zips. 30305 would have been 6th on the list...Buckhead. Also, part of Chastain Park is technically Atlanta.

[@greengoddessof75]

[@mggholdings]

I think you should have considered 30005 as a combination. Nothing beat's Tuxedo Park. For its exclusiveness. It also offers its own private security and mail delivery hold service.

[@LivingLife-y7c]

30327 is more Sandy Springs

[@mattthomas4533]

I’m surprised Va Highland/Morningside areas (30305/30306) didn’t make the cut. They have been and will continue to be the most sought after areas ITP with $300-$400+ per sqft

[@The-DeepEnd]

interesting Sandy Springs did not make the list

[@kellycohomes]

[@carlabbutler7]

Great video! I live in Braselton, and Chateau Elan Estates will blow you away. Very expensive but gorgeous homes.

[@kellycohomes]

I'm actually showing a client Chateau Elan next week! Can you tell me more about the pros and cons of living in Braselton?

[@carlabbutler7]

@kellycohomes oh that's wonderful! I have showed 5 homes in Chateau and each one was so different from the other. If your client likes the small town charm feel and maybe riding a golf cart to the grocery store, they will love it. It is a very quiet and family friendly area. The con (depends on how you look at it) would be there is quite a bit of construction happening with the new hospital and new developments. The road where Chateau Elan is under extensive construction. So, people may just want to be sensitive to the fact the area is rapidly growing and traffic can be a nuisance.
