On the northern edge of
Buckhead, Brookhaven developed as Atlanta's first country club
neighborhood. It begins just north of the intersection of Peachtree Road
and Peachtree-Dunwoody Road. Its boundaries generally are Peachtree Road
on the east, Peachtree-Dunwoody on the west and south and Windsor Parkway
on the north.
Now sometimes referred to as West Brookhaven, it is an enclave of large,
elegant Tudor, Colonial, Georgian and English cottage homes in a lush
landscape of broad, winding streets, densely wooded hollows and gently
rolling hills with the Capital City Country Club as its heart.
