Brookhaven
Brookhaven is an unincorporated city located on the western edge of DeKalb County, Georgia, United States, adjoining Sandy Springs and Buckhead. Originally home to Creek Indians, John L. Evins began a large plantation in the area now known as Brookhaven in the early 1800’s. Brookhaven is west of Chamblee, north of Buford Highway and south of I-285. Aside from portions in Atlanta, it is a community within the North Atlanta CDP. While Brookhaven is bisected by Peachtree Road, the historic part of the community is located north of the road, and stretches to Windsor Parkway on the north, Peachtree-Dunwoody Road on the west, and Mabry Road on the east. Brookhaven is home to two golf courses, the Capital City Club (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) and Peachtree Golf Club. Historically, there were modest neighborhoods surrounding the historic estates near the Capital City Club, particularly south of Peachtree Road. Brookhaven is less than two miles from Lenox Square Mall and Phipps Plaza, located in Atlanta’s Buckhead district and two of the most affluent shopping centers in the United States.
