The Buckhead neighborhood is an old money section of Atlanta, full of gracious homes, fine restaurants, theaters, parks, upscale shopping centers, cozy cafes and elegant hotels.  A few years ago the area was having problems with too many young partiers, but the city cracked down and many bars closed.  Now the neighborhood, located 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta, is known as the "playground for the city's elite cosmopolitans."   Two stylish shopping malls, the Phipps Plaza (Saks, Versace, Barneys, Tiffanys) and the Lenox Square Mall (Bloomingdale's, Pottery Barn, Burberry), are just down the street from The Parc, and the new free Buc is a shuttle bus that runs throughout the neighborhood.

Atlanta receives 4 to 5 inches of precipitation per month and has an average relative humidity of 72%.  Night time July temperatures dip into the high 60s and low 70s, and daytime highs can reach the 90s.  Winters are mild with night time lows in the 30s and daytime temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
