At A Glance
Driving down many streets in the Paces neighborhood, it would be easy to imagine yourself in the hills of North Georgia. The neighborhood has rolling topography, dense forest, and secluded properties. Then, you crest a hill and see the entire Atlanta skyline scaling tree lines and beckoning before you, a reminder that you are a few minutes from just about anywhere in Buckhead, Midtown, or Downtown! This embodies what Buckhead is really about, a wonderful quality of life combined with the conveniences of a modern city at your doorstep ... or front gate. Often referred to as Buckhead's River District, Paces is nestled into a broad curve of the Chattahoochee River. Home to The Westminster Schools and Lovett, these elite private schools attract many families to the neighborhood, resulting in a nice "bump" in the real estate market every year when acceptance letters go out. An exclusive area, residences include predominantly single-family homes, but you will find very nice townhomes tucked away between subdivisions. Now that the real estate market is on the rise, you will once again see large traditional and European style homes replacing the older brick bungalows that once populated the area.What We Love

For more upscale dining, West Paces Ferry Houston’s, Blue Ridge Grill, and the riverfront Canoe are old school standbys for the neighborhood regulars. Vinings Jubilee is just a couple of miles up the road and has independently owned boutiques and fine and casual dining choices with plenty of free parking.

In 1877, following a donation of 1 acre from William Brown for construction, what was formerly known as Pleasant Hill Methodist Church was built. The church was served by circuit-riding preachers and during the week, housed a school called Pleasant Hill Academy. Neighbors of Paces also love attending Church Of The Apostles across the street in the Randall Mill neighborhood.

In 1955, the Pleasant Hill Methodist congregation merged with a nearby church and this small white church was renamed Paces Ferry United Methodist Church. The congregation, which has a reported 32 members, is so special because it hasn't changed much since it was built over a century ago. The adjacent cemetery contains some Civil War graves.
