Brookhaven

Welcome to Brookhaven

A burgeoning young city striking a chord for residents.

Once considered the west Buckhead suburbs, Brookhaven was incorporated as a city in 2012.

Other nearby neighborhoods north of Atlanta include Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.

A fashionable yet family-friendly Dekalb County neighborhood balancing an interesting combination of trendy hotspots with traditional community enhancements. Strong infrastructure, proximity to major highways, and MARTA rail service add to the ease of Brookhaven living.
