Neighborhood Sale in Druid Hills

Signage at Druid Hills Neighborhood Sale

It was a "touch and go" day here in the Atlanta area on Saturday. It looked like it would rain but the weather forecasters were saying there was less than 10% before evening so my husband and I traveled to the Druid Hills area for their neighborhood sale which was advertised as "Rain or Shine" anyway. Druid Hills is a loosely defined area in the city of Atlanta.

Druid Hills is a community which includes both a census-designated place (CDP) in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, United States, as well as a neighborhood of the city of Atlanta. The CDP's population was 14,568 at the 2010 census.[3] The CDP contains the main campus of Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Atlanta-city section of Druid Hills is one of Atlanta's most affluent neighborhoods with a median household income in excess of $238,500. link 

I have been somewhat remiss with my photo-taking lately and this sale was no exception. The area has many historic homes/mansions and it is lovely.  As we emerged to tackle some of the sales, I commented that we could now be living in this area if our own real estate purchasing plan had been slightly different when we arrived in the city over 25 years ago. We had initially put in an offer for a town house in the area which was beautiful and offered us affordable city living but changed our mind as we panicked about the lack of yard and car space. So, instead, we settled in a larger home on a real lot north of the city and, two houses later, we remain in that part of town.

Loved the roosters! 

Look closely at the chair - interesting!

Well, we didn't buy anything but enjoyed visiting the neighborhood. I had picked up a lovely Sheraton styled settee on the way so felt the whole trip was more than worthwhile!
