An array of attractions in Buckhead and Atlanta.
Atlanta is a city rich in cultural arts, entertainment and history.
For as much as Lenbrook makes possible on its campus, you’ll want to explore the city. Atlanta is full of things to do and see and the Buckhead area is prime among them.
The Buckhead community website is a great place to start in learning what’s here.
Within a short car or bus ride:
- Phipps Plaza: As the Southeast's premier upscale shopping center, Phipps Plaza is home to more than 100 specialty stores including Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Jimmy Choo, and Juicy Couture.
- Lenox Square Mall: Justly called the shopping mecca of the southeast and exactly one mile away.
- High Museum of Art (Woodruff Arts Center): American painting and sculpture of the interwar years, 1918 to 1945, is a big acquisition category. It’s a 15-minute drive from Lenbrook.
