That's weird. The Neighborhoods we're sure given the wrong names because the Buckhead neighborhood looks more like a Bank and the Bankhead neighborhood looks like it only has a Buck.
Ah yes Buckhead, the place where everyone thinks all the wealthy people live….meanwhile they truly live on the outskirts of Atlanta. Sandy Springs, Vinings, Duluth, and Alpharetta. All the Buckhead mansions are primarily lived in by people with old money.
You realize all the places you mentioned are suburbs. Suburbs have alot of disposable income and the property values are so much cheaper you could live in a huge house for the same price you could buy a half acre lot to build a house around me in northeast atl
It is very unfortunate to see an irregular region like the first beautiful region. You are in a great and very beautiful country. Preserve your wonderful country. You Americans are kings and princes in other countries. May God protect America and God save the brave photographer. Greetings to you from Yemen ❤️🇺🇸🇾🇪

Long time ago, my nose used to be up in the air because I worked in Buckhead. And I didn't make any more than $10 an hour. Now, although it looks very sophisticated, it's no different than Bankhead. It has became an upscale ghetto. And I don't go there even in the daytime if I could help it.
Question: who would wanna live in a big ass house like those you see in Buckhead? I wouldn't. Especially by myself. I'd be scared someone or something is living with me that I don't know about.
It doesn’t even really look like that now. I live in Atlanta and the content creator did not capture the nice parts of Bankhead, he chose the ugly. There’s more to that neighborhood than that
Notice how many people hanging out on the streets in Bankhead during the day doing nothing , while Buckhead quiet as a mouse while residents are working and being productive
That was Tuxedo Park Buckhead! It's old money acquired by the slave trade. They've made a system that we're still falling for One Hundred and Fifty years later! You're making a misguided view of a part of Atlanta. Instead of asking why dodn't you see any Black people in those Buckhead Neighborhoods? With all of the so called Black Wealth in Atlanta, which part of Buckhead do they live in? Bankhead looks like that because those people are being unfairly Taxed out of their homes! Instead of upkeeping their property they're paying $3000 and up for a $12,000 property! A 50' x 150' piece of property in Bankhead is no different in Buckhead, but if you're given over a Hundred and Fifty year head start tax free shouldn't your estate look better than a shack in Bankhead?
Theres more than 2k people living in the Bankhead area. It goes from downtown all the way to Alabama. The Atlanta part of Bankhead goes from downtown to the city limit where Fulton and Cobb county meet.
Those houses in Buckhead are so nice. I'm a board certified medical doctor here in Atlanta, yet I could NEVER afford to buy one of those houses. I actually live in that tall apartment complex in the beginning of the video on the left hand side of the screen.
Keep telling yourself what u can't do and making the same whack monetary allocations and sure nuff...you won't get in Buckhead. Just KP telling u that!
Hated living in Bankhead, still got ptsd from it even though I moved to douglasville about 2 months ago. I just always feel like there’s someone in my damn house lmao
This is how they look today but Microsoft announced a huge corporate campus to be built in BANKHEAD and already townhouses are being built for $500K. I spent several years in West End when they practically gave homes away now remodeled homes in West End routinely go for $500 to $700 with gastro pubs etc being built. ATL in a few more years will be unrecognizable

Less abandon places as well. Ex: Stockbridge, Union city, Dallas, Marietta, Alpharetta, Duluth, Roswell, Dunwoody is where you’d see the wealth.
This is like every major city, you got the hood, middle class, upper middle class & wealthy areas but them really really rich ppl live out in them counties surrounding Atlanta, like most metropolitan areas them gated communities is where them top 1% be living
Craziest part is both places are not too far from each other if you know back streets, you can make it to buckhead in 10 mins or less..or Decatur lol..
This brings back memories. I went through this 20 years ago in ft Knox Kentucky. Jan-March 2004. Best decision I’ve ever made in my life. If I could do it all over again I would.
Both bankhead and bunkhead are dangerous to live I've done seen on the news here in Atlanta and how people get robbed they cars broken into and they shoot in that area as well both places are not good
There's a new American dream on the table...It's traveling, seeing different states, and the world. People have decided they want to be free, not paying a massive mortgage until they die... Covid brought about an awakening... Maintaining less stuff and debt gives you more time to really live...🙏 🙏 🙏
Ive lived in Buckhead a long time. Was really hoping for it to change to Buckhead City because we pump almost half of the tax revenues into Atlanta but are only 20% of the population. We get nothing but crime from the 13 and potholes for our money. It sucks here now. Am moving to Arizona soon and can't wait.
Both neighborhoods look a bit frightening to me...I wouldn't walk alone day or night in either....There's a darkness I see in both, that I can't put into words.
Wow ich bin total überrascht wie schön es ist! Ich komme aus Deutschland und hier ist alles so eng die Häuser teilweise so hoch. Und dort ist es einfach nur schön auch, wenn viele Häuser leider kaputt sind sieht es sehr gemütlich und irgendwie trotzdem friedlich aus.
I've been out here for over 5 years tops and I've actually lived on English Ave in Bankhead. A 15 min walk from 🚆 station. More abandoned homes than ever. Still graffiti everywhere less populated with junkies. Nobodies out here in Atlanta nowadays.
The part closer to downtown now has expensive condos of Bankhead. Another 8 years 40 percent of Bankhead will be residents of well off rich people or those who make $150,000 a year
Watch this space...l literally witnessed the gentrification of the area around NCCU (Durham) in the 1.3 yrs l lived there. The former Mayor of Miami Gardens , FL, told a group of women recently, to hold on to their property per Hard Rock Stadium, Jazz in the Gardens, and now, a major speed racing event. I will add, if you sell, keep it in the family.
If they evict me because I can't afford my rent I think I'll just move to Buckhead because that seems to be where all the money's going that should be helping the homeless. They've got those nice little cul-de-sacs maybe I can pitch a tent right beside the picnic table bring some awareness to God's chosen. Really I'm in the rapid rehousing program right now and my rent hasn't been paid since February and my case managers have disappeared. They poured billions and millions into this rapid rehousing and what's it got nothing it's seems like somebody's getting rich somewhere.
@@laryanryan9170 Swims Valley Road is just barely inside the map of Buckhead City; however, I've lived in and around Atlanta for 45 years and have never considered that area Buckhead.
@@bobbbobb4663 I wasn't paying much attention to the street names but I've always known east of 75 is Buckhead. I've never bothered to see where the actual line of Buckhead starts and ends tho. If you've lived in that area for 45 years you should know. I've personally lived all over the Atlanta metro since 62. Grew up on the Westside and SW Atlanta.
That’s like the Hollywood hills part of Buckhead! My Aunt is moving from Buckhead and she lives in a pretty small house! Like the average size of a 1970s house!
There are Many many neighborhoods in and around Atlanta that is just as prestigious, and Wealthy as Buckhead LoL. I Love Buckhead, next time check out Dunnwoody, Alpharetta, Sandy springs, East Cobb, the Vinnings, Druid Hills,Midtown, Duluth, Inman park, Ansley woods,?chattahoochie Hills, beautiful Mansion and homes, very $$$$$$$$
This is sad but this is America! Thats why whenever America talk about Africa and other countries i always state for America to hold the mirror up at itself🤭
Ion know if Buckhead Atlanta Georgia is old money or wealthy but I think it's just like many other neighborhood in Atlanta Georgia. I've seen so many big houses throughout Atlanta Georgia so I'm not sure what anyone have as far as money.
One of the nicer neighborhoods in Buckhead, West Paces area...but It ain't all roses. Roll over to the Lindbergh area, which is still Buckhead and it's a completely different story. Adult entertainment and all.
If your eyes don't move you...Word can't help. If you don't want to lift a hand...you'll never stand. Something has got to change. 5/13/2022 Hope for the captives. Prayers for the Saints. From Baltimore to San Francisco, Memphis to Cleveland. Wake up. We're not roaches.
Why do the yards in Bankhead have so much trash? Back in the day, most financially underpriviledged people still had dignity. Why not organize neighborhood meetings to have a clean up day at least once monthly? It wouldn't fix the poverty problem, but at least the kids could play in cleaner, safer spaces in their own neighborhood.
I lived 27 years in Decatur, never liked going to Buckhead. You think it's all sophisticated but it's like Hollywood without the movie stars. Very beautiful neighborhoods though. I never liked Bankhead either.

Buckhead is not dangerous. It's the pieces of shit coming from Decatur, Clayton County, Bankhead etc....who are robbing these people at gunpoint.
These shooters are people coming from Bankhead to rob in Buckhead.
There's a new American dream on the table...It's traveling, seeing different states, and the world. People have decided they want to be free, not paying a massive mortgage until they die... Covid brought about an awakening... Maintaining less stuff and debt gives you more time to really live...🙏 🙏 🙏
Ive lived in Buckhead a long time. Was really hoping for it to change to Buckhead City because we pump almost half of the tax revenues into Atlanta but are only 20% of the population. We get nothing but crime from the 13 and potholes for our money. It sucks here now. Am moving to Arizona soon and can't wait.
Yeah I lived there back in the day. Buckhead nice but a crime magnet
Both neighborhoods look a bit frightening to me...I wouldn't walk alone day or night in either....There's a darkness I see in both, that I can't put into words.
i think the word you're looking for is racism
That went from 21 Savage to 21 cents.
I appreciate the silence 🔕 rides
He deliberately went to the roughest looking areas in Bankhead
Got get those ratings!
😂😂😂😂
It's like night and day.
Rashad mad that New New stay in Buckhead but not Bankhead
Wow ich bin total überrascht wie schön es ist! Ich komme aus Deutschland und hier ist alles so eng die Häuser teilweise so hoch. Und dort ist es einfach nur schön auch, wenn viele Häuser leider kaputt sind sieht es sehr gemütlich und irgendwie trotzdem friedlich aus.
Us Americans get a lot of hate from Europeans so thank you for the nice words 🙏
Read Atlanta has more trees in the city limits than any other major city
Very true...most people can't spot what you observed
I've been out here for over 5 years tops and I've actually lived on English Ave in Bankhead. A 15 min walk from 🚆 station. More abandoned homes than ever. Still graffiti everywhere less populated with junkies. Nobodies out here in Atlanta nowadays.
The part closer to downtown now has expensive condos of Bankhead. Another 8 years 40 percent of Bankhead will be residents of well off rich people or those who make $150,000 a year
Watch this space...l literally witnessed the gentrification of the area around NCCU (Durham) in the 1.3 yrs l lived there.
The former Mayor of Miami Gardens , FL, told a group of women recently, to hold on to their property per Hard Rock Stadium, Jazz in the Gardens, and now, a major speed racing event. I will add, if you sell, keep it in the family.
Buckhead is very nice. Bankhead needs a make over.
The Bulkhead looks more of bankhead whereas the Bankhead is just an ordinary village . From Texas
If they evict me because I can't afford my rent I think I'll just move to Buckhead because that seems to be where all the money's going that should be helping the homeless. They've got those nice little cul-de-sacs maybe I can pitch a tent right beside the picnic table bring some awareness to God's chosen. Really I'm in the rapid rehousing program right now and my rent hasn't been paid since February and my case managers have disappeared. They poured billions and millions into this rapid rehousing and what's it got nothing it's seems like somebody's getting rich somewhere.
You so Damn Right!
Case managers fuckin VANISH!
@@goldinthefurnace why is this. Do they run with the money or what?.
Get a job. Get a career. Get an education. Stop having kids. U sound ridiculous pitching a tent, waiting on some entity to save you.
Sure your not the one vanishing when you get your check with a crack pipe?
Did anyone notice the signs on the lawns in the Buckhead video that want Buckhead to secede and call themselves Buckhead City?
7 year New Jersey transplant living in Dallas Ga. and driving thru Bankhead is like driving thru bombed out Ukraine
Lovely view beautiful mansion
The house at 0.57 seconds is singer Tyrese Gibson house. Great video too!
As an FYI, the streets at 1:33 show Charlie in the Mt Paran / Northside area which is not really Buckhead per se.
MT Paran west of I-75 is Vinnings. Mt Paran east of I-75, Buckhead.
@@laryanryan9170 Swims Valley Road is just barely inside the map of Buckhead City; however, I've lived in and around Atlanta for 45 years and have never considered that area Buckhead.
@@bobbbobb4663 I wasn't paying much attention to the street names but I've always known east of 75 is Buckhead. I've never bothered to see where the actual line of Buckhead starts and ends tho. If you've lived in that area for 45 years you should know. I've personally lived all over the Atlanta metro since 62. Grew up on the Westside and SW Atlanta.
That’s like the Hollywood hills part of Buckhead!
My Aunt is moving from Buckhead and she lives in a pretty small house!
Like the average size of a 1970s house!
There are Many many neighborhoods in and around Atlanta that is just as prestigious, and Wealthy as Buckhead LoL. I Love Buckhead, next time check out Dunnwoody, Alpharetta, Sandy springs, East Cobb, the Vinnings, Druid Hills,Midtown, Duluth, Inman park, Ansley woods,?chattahoochie Hills, beautiful Mansion and homes, very $$$$$$$$
Those places should trade names. Bankhead for the $ and Buckhead for the buck broked
Buckhead is good for chillin and peace, Bankhead is so good for night time with neigbours chatting all night and having a fun conversation
There are a lot of abandoned and open land properties that look like they need developing in Bankhead. I see a lot of money over there.
As a kid growing up now, and I’ve always got these two places confused
Atlanta. A nice neighborhood completely surrounded by the ghetto.
That's the old days. So much has been gentrified. If you have not been to Atlanta in the last 5-10 years. A lot has changed, even parts of Bankhead.
Blacks don't want to live in gentrified areas. We move to the burbs.
@@Boxhead42 my cousin lives in Virginia Highlands. Getting there from the airport is terrifying.
I no longer visit Atl.
Very unsafe.
@@weeknders Oh I agree with you when speaking of crime and mayhem. I was referring to neighborhoods and plight.
@@weeknders what did you do walk it?
I'm having trouble deciding which neighborhood i would love to live in....😏
Highland Woodworking store is a great place to buy tools and take classes.
Muchas viviendas havandonadas,y muy solitario todo esos lugares. Tal vez muchos habandonaron sus viviendas. Por la inseguridad oh la falta de empleo
Isn't that "Whoa Vicky's" Hood?
I read a novel about Buckhead and enjoyed the video.However Bankhead was unlike anything I have ever seen.
Gotta know which Head to be in. Make sure to tell your driver Buckhead and not Bankhead.
can you take a trip to Memphis please
This is sad but this is America! Thats why whenever America talk about Africa and other countries i always state for America to hold the mirror up at itself🤭
Bankhead=South Detroit
Tale of two cities-Indeed.
night and day.... its part of the plan to stay in power. Division is control
Learn how to play the game and you'll be okay.
@@laryanryan9170 You talking about playing for fiat? Lol
it's a beautiful day in the hood
Lol I knew “Bankhead” was going to be a slum
I never knew Atlanta had so many heals very interesting
Ion know if Buckhead Atlanta Georgia is old money or wealthy but I think it's just like many other neighborhood in Atlanta Georgia. I've seen so many big houses throughout Atlanta Georgia so I'm not sure what anyone have as far as money.
One of the nicer neighborhoods in Buckhead, West Paces area...but It ain't all roses. Roll over to the Lindbergh area, which is still Buckhead and it's a completely different story. Adult entertainment and all.
This is where the money splits, No dying who has better education jobs, and businesses.
Buckhead the rich part, bankhead the ghetto part💯
yo thats some afterlife living look at that shit its like a cemetery
I wouldn’t feel safe in either head. In these trying times it’s more like duckhead. 🤔
😂
If your eyes don't move you...Word can't help. If you don't want to lift a hand...you'll never stand. Something has got to change. 5/13/2022 Hope for the captives. Prayers for the Saints. From Baltimore to San Francisco, Memphis to Cleveland. Wake up. We're not roaches.
Peace.
A tale of two cities
Why do the yards in Bankhead have so much trash? Back in the day, most financially underpriviledged people still had dignity. Why not organize neighborhood meetings to have a clean up day at least once monthly? It wouldn't fix the poverty problem, but at least the kids could play in cleaner, safer spaces in their own neighborhood.
I lived 27 years in Decatur, never liked going to Buckhead. You think it's all sophisticated but it's like Hollywood without the movie stars. Very beautiful neighborhoods though. I never liked Bankhead either.
