It is really nice to just pull up to the entrance of the Park Regency, hand over the keys to a valet attendant and proceed through its luxurious lobby to your oversized home in a prime Buckhead location. Park Regency was one of the first luxury “glass” condominium buildings in Atlanta. It offered unparalleled amenities at the time, which are still pretty impressive. Besides above-mentioned valet service, at Park Regency you will find 24-hour concierge, swimming pool, fitness center, rooftop sitting area with fireplace, beautiful gardens and wine cellar.

Location is topnotch. Building is tucked away behind Phipps Plaza close to the major intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. Even so this location can be considered very busy, Park Regency’s setting offers tranquil ambiance. The only negative is the traffic created by shoppers visiting both Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall. Proximity to the best shopping and dining options doesn’t even need to be mentioned.

Units are matching the grandeur of the building’s location and amenities. They are large, with one-bedrooms starting from over 1,100 square feet and two-bedrooms from over 1,600. Larger two-bedrooms and three-bedrooms are sized well over 2,000 square feet. Finishes and appliances are high-end. However, they do start showing signs of aging. All units have large balconies, some are huge and go along the entire length of the unit. Units on the Southern side of the building offer city views of  Buckhead skyline. North-facing units have more tranquil views of park-like residential Buckhead.

The only big negatives for Park regency are the high HOA dues (yes, those valet attendants have to be paid) and the “initiation” fee which seems to be much higher than in most other buildings. But at the same time Park Regency is a great building and offers fantastic value. When you look at average price per square foot for most of the units, you will realize that it is actually cheaper than many buildings of a lower grade.
