• The History of Brookhaven
  Before it became its own fast-growing city, Brookhaven was actually part of Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood until 2012. Despite its location a few miles from Atlanta homes for sale, Brookhaven was once a popular place for affluent Atlanta residents to purchase a second home in the early 1900s. Many of those homes and other historic buildings have been preserved, which is why so many people love to experience the architecture of Brookhaven.
