Security Considerations in Buckhead
Independence Day week brings a major planned disruption to Buckhead. The Peachtree Road Race is held on July 4 with its start line on Peachtree Road in the Lenox area, and in 2025 Peachtree Road between Lenox Parkway and Lenox Road closed to vehicles from July 2 through race morning, with the race expo held at Lenox Square. Post Orders for nearby sites cover changed delivery windows, alternate access routes and early staffing so officers reach posts before closures take effect.
Two MARTA rail stations serve the core of Buckhead. Lenox station sits across East Paces Ferry Road from Lenox Square, and Buckhead station sits in the Georgia 400 median with entrances on both sides of Peachtree Road. Office and residential towers near the stations depend on lobby access control, parking deck patrols and visitor management, and Post Orders for these buildings account for transit foot traffic at the entrances that face the stations.
Retail posts in Buckhead range from multilevel regional centers to street level districts. Lenox Square spreads across two levels, while Buckhead Village District combines shops and restaurants with communal outdoor spaces, and Miami Circle and Andrews Square hold smaller design showrooms and locally owned shops. Interior mall posts focus on corridors, entrances and parking, while street level posts follow storefronts, sidewalks and evening dining traffic, so each site gets Post Orders written for its own layout.

Common Questions
How Does the Peachtree Road Race Affect Security for Buckhead Sites?
The race is held on July 4 with its start on Peachtree Road in Buckhead, and in 2025 Peachtree Road between Lenox Parkway and Lenox Road closed to vehicles from July 2. Sites near Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza can expect restricted access, changed delivery times and heavy pedestrian traffic that week. McCray builds those changes into Post Orders ahead of time and schedules officers to arrive before closures begin.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
