I wrote "But there are no sidewalks even two blocks from the MARTA stops", and, if anything, I was too generous. There are actually areas just one street over from both MARTA stops, both with no sidewalks.
In fact, not only are there no sidewalks one block from both MARTA stops, the neighborhoods look like they could be any anonymous suburb or small town anywhere in the U.S. They're basically the polar opposite of anything remotely urban or walkable.
Here's just one block over from the Lenox Buckhead MARTA station. Does anyone here think this street is "urban and walkable"? LOL.

And here's the first street north of the Buckhead MARTA station. Anyone find this urban?

To be fair, the development in Buckhead is mostly north of your first streetview and south of the second one. It's sort of like someone posting pictures of "The Flats" north of Santa Monica Blvd or the swaths of SFHs south of Wilshire and saying Beverly Hills just looks like a big suburb.
Doesn't change the fact that BH is still much more walkable and urban in the sense that most C-D posters think of. Mostly what Buckhead seems to have over BH is taller high-rises - but as I said a few times that makes Buckhead seem like a really sloppily-organized Century City or a Warner Center on steroids.
