Buckhead Atlanta
The city's northern section, Buckhead, is consistently ranked by the Robb Report as one of the most affluent communities in the United States. Since the opening of the intown segment of the Georgia 400 tollway, which linked the district to the city superhighway system in the early 1990s, Buckhead has developed a dense commercial district, clustered around the high-end retail centers at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza and including a growing number of office buildings and residential highrises, some in the 40+ story range.
The City Too Busy to Hate
The birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr has a long and proud history of human rights activism. During the Civil Rights Movement, Atlanta stood apart from southern cities that supported segregation, touting itself as "The City Too Busy to Hate." The city's progressive civil rights record has made Atlanta a popular relocation destination for black Americans for decades.
