Brookhaven Gardens is a small residential neighborhood in the incredibly popular and fast growing Brookhaven community of DeKalb County in intown Atlanta. The neighborhood, originally constructed in the late 1990's, is home to a variety of floorplans and size homes. You will find the small neighborhood tucked away within the larger Brookhaven Fields community and adjacent to the even larger Drew Valley community.
Highlights of the neighborhood include an active Homeowners Association, which acts indepently and also participates within the larger Brookhaven Fields Civic Association. Each year in the fall, Brookhaven Gardens organizes a block party filled with great food courtesy of the neighbors, karaoke machines, pony rides, visits from the local police and fire departments giving tours of police cars and fire engines, football on TV, and other surprises. In addition, Brookhaven Gardens participates in the annual Brookhaven Fields Yard Sale, an event that grows every year and one that you should give serious consideration to attending if you have never seen it. It's the largest organized yard sale I've ever seen in Atlanta.
Perhaps one of Brookhaven Gardens' best features is also the area's best kept secret, a small fountain filled pond, home to at least 10 beautiful and friendly ducks. Neighbors sometimes pause for a humorous duck crossing in the street, and many are found feeding the neighborhood "pets" from their waterside decks. The community is built around the pond, and a waterfront gazebo is a welcoming spot for visitors to feed the ducks or enjoy the sounds of the fountain.
The quiet community is a refreshing suburban setting within 1 mile of the hustle and bustle of Buckhead. The homes within Brookhaven Gardens are still considered an exceptional value given their size. When compared to new construction in the area, an objective buyer will quickly see that these spacious homes, priced in the $500,000+ range, are undervalued. My wife and I lived within half of a mile of this neighborhood in Ashford Park for many years, and we never even knew Brookhaven Gardens existed until we began looking for larger affordable housing in the area. We love Brookhaven, and we were willing to sacrifice space in order to stay in the area. Thanks to this neighborhood, we didn't have to do that. We moved into Brookhaven Gardens almost 2 years ago, and our home is much bigger than we thought we would find. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and the location is to die for. Nowadays, I'm surprised the word is not out about this great neighborhood. Of course, the homeowners of Brookhaven Gardens would just assume you not know about their little secret. That's what makes it special.
