Brookhaven: A Sense of Community

Because family-friendly Brookhaven enjoys a big suburb/small urban center feel, it’s not hard to feel a sense of community and a certain pride for it. Those wanting to get involved can join in on exciting events like the Cherry Blossom Festival in March, the Farmers Market from April-November, the Brookhaven Beer Fest in June, the Bourbon, BBQ and Bluegrass Festival in September, the annual Brookhaven Chili Cook Off in October, and plenty of holiday events happening here and there. Brookhaven is a green city with plenty of green spaces to enjoy too, like Brookhaven Park, Murphey Candler Park, and Blackburn Park.

If you’re looking to sample some of Brookhaven’s local flavors, you can do so on Food Truck Nights every Wednesday at Blackburn Park (of course, you’re free to chase your favorite trucks around town any other day of the week), or perhaps enjoy a novel, combined dinner-and-a-movie experience at the playhouse-style Cinébistro. Buford Highway is also never too far away, being the gathering-place for foodies hungry for countless combinations of international cuisine choices.

Growing with Brookhaven

With nearly 50,000 residents and counting, Brookhaven, GA is a rapidly-expanding community that’s showing very few signs of slowing down. The success of Town Brookhaven, a massive mixed-use development directly adjacent to the 180-year old Oglethorpe University, has paved the way for other planned developments in the area, such as MARTA’s proposed plan to redevelop Brookhaven Station as a multi-use space and transportation hub. With over 950 luxury apartments, over 20,000 sq. ft. of office space and 460,00 sq. ft. of retail space, an urban village that provides unmatched accessibility to shopping and dining, Town Brookhaven and others (Brookhaven Village and Perimeter Summit, to name a few) are certainly signs of good things to come for the city.
