Brookhaven

Once considered the west Buckhead suburbs, Brookhaven incorporated as a city in 2012. Centered around Oglethorpe University, the area draws its character from a varied mix of residents in affluent country club subdivisions and academic enclaves, as well as a vibrant demographic of young professionals.
