This is a terrific investment property. Lavista Park is home to both older homes and new construction. The older homes are mostly spacious brick ranch-style residences that range from $250,000 to $550,000 and were built in the 1950s. The newer homes tend to be more upscale and cost from $500,000 to over $1 million. Lavista Park is a small community that sits just off Interstate 85 in DeKalb County’s North Druid Hills neighborhood. Led by the Lavista Park Civic Association, the upscale neighborhood is the type of place where young couples move and spend a lifetime. Lavista Park residents are close to Buckhead, Midtown, Virginia Highland, and Brookhaven, for shopping and dining, or just having a good time. Neighbors usually end up becoming close friends here, and they work together to keep the neighborhood beautiful. Some private schools in the area include The Friends of Atlanta School, Atlanta International School, and Academe of the Oaks. Just across the interstate to the north is Atlanta’s popular Buckhead district which is known for its shopping and nightlife. Its upscale malls, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, are home to designer boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Prada. Head south into Virginia Highland, one of Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhoods, and check out its independent boutiques that sell everything from clothing and jewelry to art and antiques or have lunch at a trendy café. Just outside of Lavista Park is the Elwyn John Wildlife Sanctuary which features walking trails and gorgeous views of the Atlanta skyline. Other exciting attractions in the area include the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, the fabulous Fox Theatre, and the historic Capital City Country Club.
