Brookhaven GA Real Estate
Located just northeast of Atlanta in DeKalb County, Brookhaven is a vibrant mix of stately homes and new village centers, nestled around the historic Oglethorpe University campus. Originally developed in the early 1900s around the Capital City Club as an upscale golf community, the town has grown to include many newer residential neighborhoods and the Town Brookhaven mixed-use development. The area is served by two elementary schools, Montgomery and Ashford Park, along with Chamblee Middle School and Chamblee High School. Charter and private school options also abound, including the award-winning Marist School.
Brookhaven’s greenspace includes the 18-acre Briarwood Park along the southern boundary, featuring walking trails, swimming pool and splashpad, and an indoor gym and recreation center. The more expansive 135-acre Murphy Candler Park to the north is Brookhaven’s largest park, with multi-use athletic fields, a swimming pool, playground and a stocked lake for fishing. Many youth sports leagues call Murphy Candler Park home. Youngsters will also enjoy the cozy Ashford Park featuring sandpits, slides and climbing areas, and the furrier kids will love the off-leash areas of Skyland Park.
