Top 10 Neighborhoods in Georgia, Georgia
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

With its upscale neighborhoods and multi-million dollar mansions, the Buckhead section of Atlanta is one of the most affluent communities in town, and home to some of the best art galleries, restaurants and nightlife.

Buckhead is one of Atlanta's commercial hot spots. Here you'll find the city's most upscale shopping, along with a mix of dining options. I come to this ever changing area a lot. There's always something new going up or opening. In terms of shopping, the main draws for me are Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. Lenox and Phipps are Atlanta's best upscape shopping centers. There's quite a number of good restaurants and bars in the area. Season's 52, Tuk Tuk and True Food Kitchen I enjoyed. Buckhead also has many fine hotels. Much to see and do in this upscale Atlanta neighborhood.

There is so much history in and around Inman Park - The Battle of Atlanta, Coca Cola Moguls, The beautiful Twin Houses (Dames) and more. Everything is well preserved and people have worked to keep up their homes. Make sure you have a good tour on line before you go, so you really learn about the history. Look for the little holding cell near the park. You'll be amazed that humans were put in there. Enjoy!

Rode my Kawasaki Concours from Jacksonville Fl and camped in a tent. This was an absolute blast! Everyone was super friendly and I met some really cool people. The Regulators are awesome as well. Everything you drink is $2 Coke, Beer, Water etc. A tip for ya'll who ride in and camp try to bring some water with you if you have room. There were some really good bands too. There is a mix of big Motor Homes and tent campers so bring what you got. I met people from all over the country, this is less hectic than Daytona March bike week. If you want to relax, talk bikes and share stories with new friends this is for you. Also special shout out to Roy from the Christian Motorcycle Association. Thank you for the prayer my brother! I will be coming back!!

Despite the rainy cold weather weather we really enjoyed the historic tour on the tram through the cottages and original buildings of the Jeykll Island Club.
9. The Village at Indian Springs
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
Relaxing, rejuvenating, refreshing. We offer nature, gardens, history, luxury lodging, art, and shopping, all located beside the oldest state park in the U.S. This family vacation spot is the perfect amount of civilization, while still being able to get away from it all.

We camped a full week at Indian Springs and were excited to explore the village on the weekend when all shops were open - including the old hotel (now a museum) - really enjoyed walking through there and out onto the huge porches imagining the days when it was bustling. We hit all the shops which were a great variety of things - all so cutely maintained with nice people running them. Made for a memorable end to our getaway. (from Florida)

Not long ago Athens was the center of the Rock world. REM, B-52s, Widespread Panic all started here. Today, there are still some good music acts and clubs, along with a vibrant string of bars and restaurants in downtown. Here, nothing good happens before midnight--but it happens.
