So You Wanna Be Neighbors with the A-List? A Guide to Georgia's Celebrity Encounters (Kind Of)
Let's face it, folks, Georgia's got a certain je ne sais quoi. Maybe it's the sweet tea, the Spanish moss drippin' from the trees, or the allure of a house that doesn't cost a bazillion dollars (relatively speaking). Whatever the reason, it seems celebrities are flocking to the Peach State like moths to a well-lit porch swing.
But who exactly are these mystery VIPs lurking in our midst? Buckle up, because we're about to spill the celebrity tea (sweetened, of course).

What Celebrities Live In Georgia |
Atlanta's A-List Watering Holes
Atlanta's the undeniable Hollywood hub of Georgia. Think of it as Disneyland for grown-ups, except instead of waiting in line for Space Mountain, you might bump into Ryan Reynolds at the local Kroger (don't be weird, though).
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
- Buckhead: The Beverly Hills of the South - This swanky neighborhood boasts a list of residents longer than your grocery list. We're talkin' Cardi B and Offset, Tyler Perry, Usher, and even Al Pacino (who knew he had a thing for grits?).
- Tuxedo Park: Old Money, New-ish Fame - If you prefer your celebrities with a touch of class, then Tuxedo Park is your spot. Robert Woodruff (Coca-Cola guy) used to roam these streets, and Vince Vaughn is rumored to be keeping the classy vibe alive (although some rumors are probably best left uninvestigated).
Beyond the Big City: Stars Seekin' Serenity
Atlanta isn't the only Georgia locale with star power. Celebrities are spread out like pecan pralines at a state fair.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
- Savannah: Where History Meets Hollywood - Paula Deen (butter not included) might not be everyone's cup of tea, but she definitely adds a dash of Southern charm to Savannah's cobblestone streets.
- Georgia's Coastline: Beachside Bliss for the Beautiful People - If you ever needed proof that superheroes need vacations too, then look no further than the Georgia coast. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson used to have a place here (though we can't guarantee he was there wrestling alligators).
Important Disclaimers (Because We Like to Keep It Real)
- Just because a celebrity lives in Georgia doesn't mean you'll be sipping margaritas with them poolside. Celebrities are people too, and sometimes they just want to be left alone to enjoy their peach cobbler in peace.
- This list is always changing faster than a chameleon on a fruit stand. Some celebs buy, some celebs sell, some celebs just rent a vacation home for the weekend.
