Druid Hills is an Olmsted-designed neighborhood of grand estates, sweeping parkways, and a setting that's been a film backdrop more times than most actual film sets. Emory University and the CDC anchor the eastern edge — and the result is one of the most architecturally distinguished communities in the southeast.
