Brookhaven
Fondly known as Atlanta's first country club neighborhood, Brookhaven is a quiet, residential neighborhood of beautiful, and often stately, Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and English cottages. These exquisite homes are surrounded by intricate landscapes and tree-lined, winding streets. Brookhaven is an unincorporated community which is located along the western edge of DeKalb County. It is, without a doubt, one of the most affluent communities in metropolitan Atlanta, with many of the more affordable homes in the area being replaced over the years with larger estates. Other types of homes in this area include craftsman, bungalow, townhomes and modern condominiums.
Brookhaven's homes include designs by a number of well-known Atlanta architects of this period. The National Park Service named the Brookhaven Historic District on January 14, 1986. Many residents select Brookhaven as home due to the convenient intown location and ease of commute to Downtown and Midtown. Buckhead is located just a couple of miles south, while travel to the Perimeter Mall area just north west of Brookhaven is just a few additional miles.
