Argonne Forest

One of Atlanta's fanciest-schmanciest suburbs, Argonne Forest was developed on the grounds of a 100-acre estate in the mid-1950s. Though many of its homes date back to its modest mid-century beginnings, some of the neighborhood's elegant stucco homes could rightly be called mansions, right down to their pillars and porticos. With only four streets, all unaccountably named after WWI battles, this small, serene patch of the city boasts a grand view of the Governor's Mansion. That the evolving area is also home to the Bitsy Grant Tennis Center, Cherokee Town and Country Club, and within shouting distance of some of Atlanta?s best private schools says it all.
