Located inside the I-285 perimeter and just ten miles from downtown Atlanta, Brookhaven’s community-focused vibe calls to visitors and locals alike. With 18 lush parks spanning Brookhaven’s 12-square-miles and a 44% tree canopy, it’s easy to envision it as the backdrop during any season. Brookhaven is also home to Oglethorpe University, a private liberal arts college chartered in 1835. The famed Oglethorpe granite is used throughout the campus giving it an old world feel with its Gothic Revival architecture. Because of its distinct neighborhoods, many with historical significance dating to the 1800s, Brookhaven is reminiscent of a laid-back smaller town with all the perks and benefits of a big city. Locally owned boutiques, shops and restaurants coupled with walkable neighborhoods, mean there’s no shortage of opportunities and quaint settings in Brookhaven.
