About Druid Hills + Emory
Druid Hills was designed in 1908 by Frederick Law Olmsted (designer of Central Park) — wide curving boulevards, mature trees, and grand 1920s-1940s estates along Ponce de Leon and Springdale Road. The neighborhood is a National Historic District. Emory University and Emory Healthcare anchor the local economy, drawing a steady stream of relocator buyers each year.
The housing stock is mostly 1920s-1950s Tudor, Mediterranean, and Colonial Revival. New construction is rare — restoration projects dominate. School zoning is the key buyer question: parts of Druid Hills are City of Atlanta (APS), parts are DeKalb County, and the lines matter.
