The Buckhead steakhouse trend contain delicious fashion. New Atlanta restaurant Clark’s Steakhouse officially opens its doors today, Thursday, April 23, 2026.
The eatery is welcoming guests to its prime location on the ground floor of the 2827 Peachtree building in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood (specifically the Garden Hills area, near Fellini’s).
Clark’s Steakhouse Opens Its Doors in Buckhead
The new steakhouse seamlessly marries the sophisticated grandeur of a classic New York steakhouse with the warm, inviting spirit of the American South—a fusion evident in its design, menu, and overall hospitality.
Owner Rich Clark, the force behind the popular C&S Seafood and Oyster Bar restaurants across metro Atlanta, has long dreamed of launching his own steakhouse. “A steakhouse has always been in the back of my mind,” Clark shared. “I never wanted to force it; I was waiting for the right space and the right moment to do it justice. When this opportunity came along, it just clicked and felt like the natural next step. This has been a passion project through and through, and finally bringing it to life has been incredibly rewarding.”
The 6,000-square-foot space offers 170 seats, including an intimate 18-seat private dining room known as The Policy Room.
This elegant venue is designed to transition effortlessly from business lunches to celebratory dinners. Anchoring the main dining area is a striking 30-seat racetrack-style bar featuring rich walnut finishes and plush burgundy velvet barstools.
Design firm Z-Space helped Clark realize his vision, drawing inspiration from New York and Charleston. The moody interiors radiate understated luxury through rich wood millwork, custom terrazzo flooring, and Scalamandré velvet accents.
Layered textures and softly dimmed lighting foster a warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for lingering over a meal
To ground the space in its Atlanta roots, the art collection includes framed portraits of influential local figures such as Ted Turner, John Portman, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Andrew Young.
In the kitchen, Executive Chef Zan Malik leads a team focused on live-fire cooking.
What’s on the Menu at Clark’s Steakhouse?
The menu highlights premium Meat by Linz prime steak cuts—including wet- and dry-aged options, Japanese and local Wagyu—alongside Clark’s signature 22 oz. wet-aged LHA reserve prime lollipop ribeye.
For those seeking wild game, offerings include Venison Chop, Duck Breast, and Quail Sausage from the Meat and Cheese Boards. True to Clark’s seafood heritage, the menu also features standout dishes like Salmon Wellington and Wood-Grilled Branzino.
Shareable Southern-inspired sides such as Savory Whipped Sweet Potato, Pommes Anna, and Mile High Fries complete the savory selections, while desserts deliver a nostalgic close, headlined by a Coca-Cola German Chocolate Cake inspired by Clark’s grandmother’s recipe.
The beverage program stands out as a particular strength.
Certified Sommelier and Director of Operations and Beverage Alexa Robertson curated a robust 550-selection wine list emphasizing terroir-driven wines from iconic regions including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône, Napa, and Italy.
Bordeaux forms a centerpiece, offering one of Atlanta’s most expansive selections, while higher-acid wines from Burgundy and the Loire Valley pair beautifully with seafood.
Italian varietals shine with red meats, and a thoughtfully chosen Champagne and sparkling program suits celebrations or lighter starts to the meal.
“When I first began working for Rich, one of the things I most admired was his wine list,” Robertson said. “Building the wine list for this steakhouse has been especially fulfilling. It’s shaped by travel and research, bringing together timeless classics alongside new, exciting selections for our wine-loving guests.”
What’s To Drink at Clark’s Steakhouse?
Complementing the wine is a focused cocktail program featuring signature and seasonal creations.
Standouts include the Clark’s Martini, Haute Cosmo, and the Aztec Ember Old Fashioned (made with Don Fulano Añejo Tequila, Mezcal Rinse, Agave Nectar, Mole & Orange Bitters).
Current seasonal options like the Sauna Culture (Breckenridge Aquavit, Mixed Berry Cordial, St. Germain, Chambord, Lemon, and Pine Soda) rotate throughout the year, with non-alcoholic mocktails available as well.
Clark emphasized the care taken in every detail: “We really took our time with this, traveling to places like Texas, New York, Charleston, and London, seeing what resonated and what didn’t. It was important to me that we got it right, not just in the kitchen but in the entire atmosphere. At the end of the day, we wanted to build a steakhouse that feels elevated and transportive, like you’ve stepped out of Atlanta for the night. I’m excited for people to come in and experience it for themselves.”
Clark’s Steakhouse will serve dinner Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Saturday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Sunday from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Lunch service begins Monday, May 4, and will run Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM.

Final Word
This long-awaited addition promises to elevate Atlanta’s steakhouse scene with its thoughtful blend of prime cuts, Southern soul, and world-class wines in a setting designed for memorable evenings.
Here Are The Best New Restaurants In Atlanta

If you stepped outside in metro Atlanta on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, you likely noticed it: a strange haze blanketing the skyline, a faint but unmistakable smell of burning wood hanging in the air, and reduced visibility even on what should have been a clear spring day.
The culprit isn’t local pollution or fog—it’s smoke drifting hundreds of miles north from raging wildfires in south Georgia.
Is There Smoke in Atlanta Today?
Georgia is in the grip of severe drought, with more than 98% of the state under moderate to exceptional drought conditions.
Dry vegetation, low humidity, and windy weather have turned the region into a tinderbox. In just three days, nearly 100 fires ignited across south Georgia.
The largest and most destructive is the Clinch County Fire (also known as the Pineland Road Fire) near the Okefenokee Swamp, roughly 10 miles north of the Georgia-Florida line. As of April 22, it had scorched more than 16,000 acres and was only about 10% contained.
The Fires Burning in South Georgia
Additional fires in the area have burned thousands more acres, forcing evacuations, school closures, and road shutdowns in affected counties.
Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency for more than 90 counties in south Georgia, mobilizing the Georgia Forestry Commission and emergency responders.
Similar blazes in northern Florida’s Big Bend region are also contributing to the regional smoke plume.
How Smoke Travels Hundreds of Miles to Atlanta
Wildfire smoke doesn’t stay put. Fine particles (PM2.5) and gases rise into the atmosphere and get carried by prevailing winds. In this case, a high-pressure system over the western Atlantic is driving southeasterly winds at lower levels, creating a “conveyor belt” that slowly pushes smoke northward.
Upper-level winds move west to east, helping spread the plume across the region. Southwest winds have limited the worst of the influx into metro Atlanta, but enough smoke has still arrived to create visible haze and that telltale burning odor.
The smoke has reached as far as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where it has reduced visibility for travelers. Conditions are even more pronounced in middle and south Georgia.YLbrV“LARGE”
Meteorologists expect hazy, smoky skies to persist through at least Friday, April 25.
A better chance for relief arrives Saturday when scattered rain is forecast to help wash the smoke out of the air and dampen fire danger—though the Clinch County Fire will likely continue burning until more significant rainfall or containment efforts succeed.
Air Quality and Health Concerns
Wildfire smoke contains a mix of fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and toxic chemicals that can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Even moderate levels can trigger coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and headaches.
People in sensitive groups—children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with asthma, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, or chronic conditions—are at higher risk.
Metro Atlanta is currently under Code Yellow (moderate) air quality conditions, with some pockets reaching unhealthy levels for sensitive groups.
Air quality is significantly worse closer to the fires. Check real-time conditions at AirNow.gov or local forecasts before heading outdoors.
Safety Tips: Protecting Yourself and Your Family from Smoke Inhalation
Here’s how to stay safe while the smoke lingers:
- Stay indoors as much as possible. Keep windows and doors tightly closed. If you have central air or heat, set it to “recirculate” mode and change or clean filters regularly to avoid pulling in outdoor smoke.
- Create a “clean room.” Pick one room in your home (ideally a bedroom), close it off from the rest of the house, and run a portable air cleaner or a DIY box-fan filter (MERV 13 or higher). Run it on high when you’re in the room. Never leave a box-fan filter unattended.
- Limit outdoor activity. Avoid strenuous exercise, yard work, or prolonged time outside when it looks or smells smoky. If you must go out, shorten your time and take frequent breaks indoors.
- Wear proper protection. If you have to be outside, use a NIOSH-approved N95 or P100 respirator that fits snugly against your face. Cloth masks, surgical masks, or bandanas do not provide adequate protection against fine smoke particles.
- Monitor symptoms. Watch for coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, or irritated eyes. Have rescue inhalers or medications ready if you have respiratory conditions. Seek medical help if symptoms worsen.
- Protect vulnerable groups and pets. Children and pets should stay inside. Keep pets indoors and provide fresh water. Consider bringing sensitive family members to a community building or public space with better air filtration if your home becomes too smoky.
- Avoid adding to indoor pollution. Don’t burn candles, use gas stoves, or smoke tobacco indoors. Vacuum with a HEPA filter if needed, but skip sweeping or dusting that could stir up particles.
These steps come straight from CDC and EPA guidance for wildfire smoke events and can dramatically reduce your exposure.
Looking Ahead
Firefighters continue battling the flames under challenging drought conditions, while state officials urge residents in fire-prone areas to heed burn bans and evacuation orders.
For the rest of us in metro Atlanta, the haze is an unwelcome reminder of how interconnected our region’s air really is.
Stay informed via local news, the Georgia Forestry Commission, or AirNow.gov. With rain on the horizon, clearer skies—and safer breathing—should return soon. In the meantime, take simple precautions and look out for neighbors who may need extra help.

Lee Najjar, the wealthy Atlanta real estate investor best known to Real Housewives of Atlanta fans as Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s mysterious benefactor “Big Poppa,” has passed away at the age of 68.
He died on Saturday, April 18, 2026, with the news confirmed by his daughter, Katelin Najjar, through Instagram Stories featuring family tributes.
Najjar’s off-camera presence loomed large over the early seasons of RHOA, becoming one of the franchise’s most enduring scandals and symbols of the luxury, secrecy, and drama that defined Bravo’s breakout Atlanta series.
The Man Behind the Money
A Puerto Rican-born real estate mogul with significant holdings in Atlanta, Najjar was already a successful (and at times controversial) figure in the city’s property scene before reality TV fame found him.
Fans first heard whispers of “Big Poppa” in Season 1 as Kim Zolciak described a generous, older man funding her lavish lifestyle—designer clothes, luxury cars, a sprawling home, and more—while she navigated single motherhood and the Housewives spotlight.
Kim kept his identity under wraps on camera, referring to him only by the affectionate (and meme-worthy) nickname.
The secrecy fueled endless speculation among viewers and castmates alike. Nene Leakes famously slipped up and mentioned “Lee” on more than one occasion, adding fuel to the fire.
When details eventually emerged, the story proved even juicier: Najjar was married to his wife, Kimberly Najjar, during much of his relationship with Kim.
The pair were reportedly engaged at one point, with Kim flashing a massive diamond ring on Season 2, but the romance was on-again, off-again and ultimately ended by 2009. Kim later described him as “the love of my life” but said it was time to move on.
A Storyline That Defined Early RHOA
Big Poppa embodied the aspirational-yet-messy glamour of early Housewives: private jets, high-end shopping sprees, and the blurred lines between genuine romance and financial support.
The storyline highlighted themes of secrecy, infidelity rumors, and the price of the luxe life many Housewives pursued.
Najjar largely stayed out of the public eye, but his notoriety peaked again in 2012 when a mugshot surfaced after his arrest related to a court date and financial matters—another tabloid moment that cemented his place in Bravo lore.
Even years later, at BravoCon panels and in fan discussions, the mention of “Big Poppa” still elicits laughs, gasps, and nostalgia for the wilder, less filtered days of RHOA.
Kim herself has reflected on the relationship with a mix of fondness and finality, noting in later interviews that she hadn’t spoken to him in years after finding lasting love (and marriage, though later divorced) with Kroy Biermann.
Tributes and Legacy
Family members, including daughter Katelin, have shared heartfelt tributes remembering Najjar as a devoted father and larger-than-life personality.
Kim Zolciak has not yet publicly commented as of the latest reports, but fans have flooded social media with memories of the iconic storyline.
At the time of his death, reports placed Najjar’s net worth in the millions from his real estate ventures, a far cry from the $50 million figures sometimes floated in earlier tabloid coverage but still reflective of a successful career in Atlanta’s booming (and occasionally busting) property market.
Lee Najjar may have preferred the shadows during his time in the Housewives universe, but his larger-than-life persona left an indelible mark.
For a generation of Bravo fans, “Big Poppa” wasn’t just a sugar daddy reference—it was a shorthand for the scandalous, over-the-top drama that made early RHOA appointment television.
Rest in peace to a name that will forever live in Real Housewives infamy.

Acclaimed sports journalist Taylor Rooks revealed a powerful achievement by her Taylor Rooks Foundation (TRF): in partnership with the national nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, the organization has forgiven more than $2.1 million in medical debt affecting 1,805 families and individuals in her hometown of Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Rooks explained the deeply personal motivation behind the initiative.
She referenced her own family’s experiences with chronic illness—specifically noting her sister’s Type 1 diabetes—and described how medical bills can quickly become overwhelming, creating barriers that affect not just finances but overall health and peace of mind.
“Health challenges aren’t always within our control,” she emphasized, adding that removing this debt provides “real impact” by restoring access, easing hardship, and giving people a genuine “chance to move forward” and focus on recovery and family.
A Foundation Built on Equity and Action
Rooks launched the Taylor Rooks Foundation in July 2025 as a project of the Players Philanthropy Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Its mission is straightforward yet ambitious: to empower underserved communities—particularly Black and Brown individuals and families—by expanding access to education, health, and opportunity. TRF meets “overlooked needs with dignity, care, and action,” drawing inspiration from the stories Rooks has encountered throughout her career and personal life.
The foundation operates around three core pillars:
• REACH: Educational resources, community wellness programs, small business support, and direct giving.
• RELIEVE: Support for health and recovery, crisis assistance (including medical debt relief and utility aid), and essential living needs.
• REPRESENT: Mentorship for aspiring journalists, storytelling workshops, and initiatives like the Rising Rooks Award to amplify underrepresented voices.
This latest medical debt forgiveness falls squarely under the RELIEVE pillar and marks one of TRF’s most visible early impacts.
The partnership with Undue Medical Debt leverages a proven model: the organization purchases portfolios of delinquent medical debt for pennies on the dollar from hospitals and collectors, then forgives it outright for qualifying low-income or vulnerable households.
Nationally, Undue has already abolished over $1 billion in medical debt for more than 500,000 people.
Why Gwinnett? Roots Run Deep
Rooks, born in St. Louis in 1992 and raised in Suwanee, Gwinnett County, has always remained connected to her Georgia roots
A graduate of Peachtree Ridge High School and the University of Illinois, she comes from an athletic family—her father, Thomas Rooks, starred in football at Illinois, and her uncle is Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock.
Her professional journey as an Emmy-nominated journalist (previously with Bleacher Report, TNT, and now hosting on Prime Video) has taken her to New York, but she continues to champion the Atlanta-area community where she grew up.
Gwinnett County, part of the greater Atlanta metro, is diverse and vibrant but—like many communities across the South and the U.S.—has been hit hard by medical debt.
Forgiving $2.1 million here isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet; it’s tangible relief for nearly 2,000 local families who can now breathe easier, seek care without fear, and invest in their futures rather than past bills.
Early Wins and Growing Momentum
The medical debt relief isn’t TRF’s first act of service.
Since launching, the foundation has supported the Lower East Side Girls Club in New York City, provided utility assistance to families during the holidays, helped teachers with school supplies, and partnered with companies like Experian (which recently donated $50,000).
Each effort aligns with Rooks’ belief that “equity starts with access”—access to care, confidence, opportunity, and resources regardless of zip code, background, or bank account.
In her own words from the announcement: “To everyone who continues to support TRF’s mission, thank you! This work is only possible because of you.”
A Model of Impactful Philanthropy
In an era when medical debt remains one of the leading causes of financial stress and even bankruptcy in America, initiatives like this one highlight how targeted, community-focused giving can create immediate, life-changing relief.
Rooks isn’t just shining a spotlight—she’s turning her platform and personal story into sustained action.
The Taylor Rooks Foundation invites supporters to learn more, donate, or get involved at taylorrooks.com/foundation.
As Rooks continues her high-profile career covering the NBA, NFL, and beyond, her foundation proves that true influence extends far off the court and into the lives of everyday people in the communities she calls home.
This is more than philanthropy—it’s proof that one person’s vision, backed by strategic partnerships and community support, can lift thousands.
And for Gwinnett County families burdened by medical debt, that relief feels nothing short of life-changing.

The peaches were serving in RHOA Season 17 Episode 4, and “Where’s the Beef… and the Budget?” lived up to its dramatic title.
Financial rumors, explosive confrontations, and lingering Shadea vs. Drew tension turned this Sunday night into one of the messiest episodes so far this season.
If you missed it, here’s everything that went down — plus our biggest takeaways, best quotes, and what it means for the rest of Season 17.
Pinky Cole Feels the Financial Heat
The episode opened with Pinky Cole squarely in the hot seat.
With rumors swirling about her business struggles post-Slutty Vegan empire challenges, the ladies questioned whether her lavish lifestyle matches her current reality.
Pinky opened up about the pressure of rebuilding while staying camera-ready, delivering one of the most vulnerable moments of the season.
But not everyone was sympathetic.A few pointed comments about “budget” and “priorities” had the group divided, sparking the first major beef of the night.
Cynthia Bailey Plans a Girls’ Getaway… But Not Everyone’s Invited
Cynthia Bailey stepped in as the voice of reason (and trip planner) by floating a girls’ getaway to clear the air. However, a “questionable claim” dropped during the planning session left everyone on edge.
Accusations flew about who said what behind whose back — classic RHOA.
Drew Sidora and Shamea Morton Mwangi’s ongoing tension boiled over again, with old receipts getting dragged out.
Phaedra Parks, never one to miss a moment, delivered several signature shady one-liners that had viewers screaming.
Porsha Williams Keeps Her Dating Life ‘Fresh’
Porsha continued navigating her post-divorce era, balancing Dennis McKinley on one side and new romantic interests on the other.
The group grilled her about keeping things “fresh,” leading to hilarious (and awkward) conversations. One scene in particular had the ladies putting Porsha’s dating choices on full trial.
K. Michelle brought her signature unfiltered energy to the discussion, while Angela Oakley and Kelli Ferrell weighed in with their own relationship perspectives.
Best Moments & Biggest Shocks from RHOA S17E4
- Table-flip energy without an actual flip — the verbal sparring reached peak levels.
- Pinky Cole’s raw confession about feeling the weight of expectations.
- Phaedra’s read of the night (you already know it was iconic).

- Replay on Bravo: Check your local listings or On Demand.
- Stream Now: Available on Peacock (along with the full season so far).

There’s nothing like the transformative power of a great wig. In 2026, options are more limitless than ever, with advanced HD lace, glueless constructions, pre-plucked and pre-bleached hairlines, and high-quality human hair or realistic synthetics that offer endless textures, colors, lengths, and styles.
Whether you’re switching up your look daily, protecting your natural hair, or seeking medical or fashion solutions, buying wigs online has never been easier or more reliable.
The good news is that can you wear different styles with relative ease, changing your entire look. All you need is a compatible wig and you’re going to go.
This article is going to show you the many resources where you can buy the best wigs online.
Where Is The Best Place To Buy Wigs Online in 2026?
Shopping for wigs online is more convenient and trustworthy than ever. Most top retailers provide detailed specs, customer photos/videos, return policies, and virtual try-on tools or detailed measurements. Focus on these key factors before purchasing:
- Hair Color: Bold, pastel, and multi-tonal shades (reds, blues, pinks, two-tone, or natural melted browns/blondes) remain hugely popular. Many brands offer customizable dyeing options.
- Hair Length: From short bobs to ankle-grazing lengths—anything is possible with quality wigs. Look for density ratings (e.g., 150-200%) to ensure fullness.
- Hair Texture: Fine, medium, thick; straight, body wave, curly, kinky, or water wave. Prioritize cuticle-aligned human hair for longevity and minimal tangling.
Pro Tip: Measure your head circumference and check cap construction (glueless, adjustable straps, combs, elastic bands) for a secure, comfortable fit.
Let’s talk a little in detail about each of these three qualities necessary for any potential wig customer to know before purchase.
Hair Color
Hair color is usually the top quality that women are looking for when they want to buy a wig. While it used to be risky to wear bold, pastel colors in your head, that is exactly the trend today.
Some of the top hair colors you will see on people today are:
- Red
- Blue
- Pink
- Two-Tone
If you’re interested in dying your natural hair, here are some top products.
Hair LengthHow long your hair is used to be determined by your heritage, ethnicity and penchant for trimming it, but not any more. You can have hair done to your ankles if you want, thanks to wigs or installing weave.
One thing that makes for good hair length is to keep your wig untangled. Here’s how to take care of your wig.
Hair Texture
When it comes to hair texture, there is basically three types of strands you will be dealing with: fine, medium and thick.
Wigs, from the standard to most exotic, all have various kinds of textures that you should evaluate before you buy.
What is The Best Wig Brand for 2026?
Trends favor glueless HD lace wigs for beginner-friendly, no-mess installs that look ultra-natural. Popular brands and retailers emphasize premium virgin human hair, pre-customized units, and durable synthetics.
Prices for decent quality range from $80–$250 for good human hair options, with premium or celebrity-inspired units going higher. Natural-looking burnt browns, blondes, and textured waves dominate for everyday wear.
Here are some of the best wig brands you can buy online.

How Much Does A Decent Wig Cost?
Wigs can range in price to around $30-40 to over $500. Of course, the more you pay for, the greater quailty to hair piece.
A decent wig costs around $100, so plan to spend somewhere around that price, depending on sales and discounts you may qualify for.
What Types Of Wigs Look Most Natural?
As we mentioned above, the top trends for wigs today include bold colors not unlike some flavor of cotton candy. Instead of subtle hues, people these days prefer to shocking blues, reds and even purples.
When it comes to the types of wigs that look most natural, they include burnt variations of brown or blonde.

In a highly anticipated event, the Atlanta Dream formally introduced two-time WNBA All-Star Angel Reese alongside key returning players and free-agent signees.
Atlanta Dream Introduce Angel Reese, Ushering in a New Era of Ambition
The press conference on Friday, April 17 at the team’s headquarters marked a celebratory milestone following one of the biggest trades of the 2026 WNBA offseason.
The Blockbuster Trade That Brought ‘Bayou Barbie’ to Atlanta
On April 6, 2026, the Dream acquired Reese from the Chicago Sky in exchange for first-round draft picks in 2027 and 2028, plus a second-round pick swap in 2028.
The move signaled Atlanta’s aggressive push to build a championship contender after a strong 2025 season under first-year head coach Karl Smesko.
Reese, the 2024 WNBA Draft’s No. 7 overall pick out of LSU, has quickly established herself as one of the league’s most dominant and marketable players.
Standing at 6’3”, she is a rebounding machine with 49 career double-doubles, averaging around 14.0 points and 12.8 rebounds per game in her first two seasons.
A national champion and perennial highlight-reel star, Reese brings not only elite interior play and defensive energy but also massive off-court appeal.
At the introduction, Reese expressed gratitude for her time in Chicago while embracing her new chapter.
“It’s literally a dream come true,” she said. Surrounded by new teammates, she became emotional discussing the “sisterhood” she felt immediately upon joining. “This feels like a breath of fresh air,” Reese added, fighting back tears.
A Star-Studded Supporting Cast
Reese joins an already talented core that includes:
- Allisha Gray
- Brionna Jones
- Jordin Canada
- Naz Hillmon
- Rhyne Howard
The group posed together holding new jerseys, signaling unity and high expectations for the 2026 season, which tips off May 17 against the Las Vegas Aces at State Farm Arena.
Team president and COO Morgan Shaw Parker noted the immediate business impact: In the first four hours after the announcement, the Dream sold half as many jerseys as they did in the entire 2025 season. Demand for tickets and merchandise has surged.
What Reese Brings to Atlanta
Reese’s addition pairs her rebounding prowess and physicality with Atlanta’s perimeter talent and playmaking.
Many analysts see it as a perfect fit for a team looking to make a deeper playoff run. Reese herself promised fans she’s “here to stay,” signaling commitment to the city’s vibrant basketball culture.
Her arrival also amplifies the Dream’s visibility. As one of the WNBA’s most followed personalities, Reese is expected to draw new fans to Atlanta while elevating the team’s national profile.
The Dream’s front office, led by GM Dan Padover, described Reese as “a dynamic talent and a perfect fit for what we are building.”
With a mix of veteran experience, youth, and superstar power, expectations in Atlanta have never been higher.
As the 2026 WNBA season approaches, one thing is clear: The Atlanta Dream are no longer just competing — they’re positioning themselves as contenders, with Angel Reese as the new face of the franchise.
ATL Barbie has officially arrived, and the city is ready to rally behind her.

Buckhead, often called the “Beverly Hills of the South,” ranks as one of Atlanta’s most affluent districts, known for luxury estates, high-end shopping at places like Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square, fine dining, and proximity to top private schools and parks like Chastain Park.
Within Buckhead, several enclaves vie for prestige, but data on home values, sales records, and resident profiles consistently point to Tuxedo Park as the pinnacle of wealth.
Tuxedo Park stands out as the richest neighborhood in Buckhead, Atlanta’s wealthiest part of town.
Why Tuxedo Park?
Tuxedo Park, located in the northwest part of Buckhead (primarily in ZIP code 30327), features sprawling historic and modern estates on large, tree-lined lots. It offers privacy, architectural significance, and an old-money vibe mixed with new luxury builds.
One of the top neighborhoods in Atlanta, Buckhead has carefully crafted Tuxedo Park’s image.
- Home Values and Sales: Median or average home prices in Tuxedo Park often exceed $2.8–$3.5 million or more, with many estates in the $5–$20 million range. Recent record sales include a $19.8 million off-market deal in 2024 on Tuxedo Road, the highest residential sale in Atlanta history at the time. Average sale prices over recent periods have hovered around $3.4 million.
- Income Levels: Median household income reaches $250,000+ in some metrics, with average individual incomes around $225,000. This places it among the highest in the metro area.
- Prestige Factors: It is home to the Georgia Governor’s Mansion, historic estates designed by notable architects like Philip Shutze and Neel Reid, and residents including CEOs, celebrities, athletes, and old Atlanta families (e.g., past ties to Coca-Cola leadership and golfer Bobby Jones). Many properties are on the National Register of Historic Places or feature gated privacy.
Tuxedo Park’s streets, such as Tuxedo Road and nearby areas like Clifton Ridge, frequently top lists of Atlanta’s most expensive streets, with averages in the multi-million range. Nearby, celebrity homes dot the landscape.
Close Contenders in Atlanta: Top Buckhead Mansions
Buckhead includes dozens of mansions for sale, but also smaller neighborhoods, and wealth is concentrated but not uniform. Other top areas include:
- Kingswood: A smaller, tranquil enclave just west of Tuxedo Park with palatial homes (many from the 1960s onward) on generous lots. Median/average values often range from $2.4–$2.75 million. It offers strong family appeal near elite schools like Westminster and Lovett.
- Chastain Park area: Features larger lots, newer luxury homes, and proximity to the park, golf course, and amphitheater. Values are high (often $1.9–$2.5 million+ medians) but generally below Tuxedo Park’s peaks.
- West Paces Ferry / other corridors: These host many record-breaking sales and executive estates.
Overall Buckhead median home values sit around $500K–$900K depending on the exact subarea and data source (with luxury skewing averages much higher), far above Atlanta citywide figures. The broader 30327 ZIP code often ranks among the wealthiest nationally.
Lifestyle and Appeal
Residents enjoy:
- Privacy and Exclusivity — Large lots (often 1+ acres), mature trees, and minimal through traffic.
- Amenities — Proximity to Buckhead’s commercial core, Cherokee Town Club, top schools, and green spaces.
- Investment — Strong appreciation, with luxury properties showing resilience and growth even in fluctuating markets.
Tuxedo Park balances historic charm with modern high-end living, attracting those seeking old-world prestige in an in-town setting.
Final Word
Wealth metrics in Atlanta’s expensive neighborhoods rely on median home prices, recent sales, household income from Census/Zillow/Redfin sources, and local real estate reports.
These can vary by year and methodology (e.g., small sample sizes in exclusive enclaves), but Tuxedo Park consistently leads. Buckhead as a whole remains Atlanta’s luxury flagship, though it faces typical urban challenges like traffic and debates over city services.
In summary, if you’re looking for the richest neighborhood in Buckhead, Tuxedo Park is the clear frontrunner—an enclave where Atlanta’s elite have built legacies for over a century. For buyers or admirers, it represents the apex of Southern luxury living.
