About Argonne Forest

Large wooded lots hold classic ranch homes expanded and reimagined into luxury residences, while Chastain Park, the Governor's Mansion and Buckhead's finest shopping are all minutes away.

Life in Argonne Forest
What It's Like to Live Here
Argonne Forest is what people mean when they say they want peace and quiet with the city close by. Streets are leafy and calm, lots are big and wooded, and most residents know most of their neighbors. It began in the 1950s on the grounds of an old West Paces Ferry estate, and today it pairs that era's calm with homes reimagined for modern family life. Chastain Park is a short drive for golf, tennis or a summer concert, and the privacy here is remarkable.
