Brookhaven is located on the western edge of DeKalb County, directly northeast of Atlanta. The area was incorporated as the city of North Atlanta in 1924, and voted to be a city on July 31, 2012. From the 1950s to the 1970s, major residential development took place in Brookhaven. The Brookhaven MARTA Station opened in 1984. In 1986, the Capital City Club and its surrounding estate homes were placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the neighborhood is now officially known as “Historic Brookhaven.” In 2009, Sembler opened Town Brookhaven, a live, work, play development featuring big box retail, restaurants and boutiques, as well as more than 1,500 residences.
Brookhaven is home to Atlanta’s Oglethorpe University, and the new Brookhaven Towne Park.
