19 Nov Brookhaven – Something for Everyone
Brookhaven is a beautiful area of Atlanta with winding streets, public parks and picturesque landscapes. In July 2012, Brookhaven became a city after a two-year wait. It was originally built to be a country-club type area, and it is the largest city in DeKalb County with about 50,000 residents.
In this modern city, there is mushrooming growth of mixed-use developments, which clearly affects various factors for in-town Atlanta real estate. Historic Brookhaven has older architectural styles of the pre-war period, while Brookhaven Village is made up of the mixed-use developments consisting of Village Place and Village Place Park. In Brookhaven, there is something for everyone whether they are old or young.
Brookhaven ha
s seen a rise in the number of restaurants located there in recent years. Eateries such as the Brookhaven Bistro, Terra Terroir, and the Hudson Grille are quite famous. Village Place Brookhaven is a place of fine dining restaurants like Valenza, Haven and Verde Taqueria, which are always busy. Just on the outskirts of Brookhaven you can find a number of ethnic restaurants to suit your fancy, including Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican and more.
