Brookwood Hills is a former trolley car community

Just 6 miles north of downtown Atlanta, Brookwood Hills is a turn-of-the-century suburb with a metropolitan character. The neighborhood was established in 1922 as a trolley car community, and much of its revivalism architecture still stands, earning it a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, residents can wander oak tree-shaded sidewalks leading to the Brookwood Hills Community Club, a members-only facility home to a pool, playground and ample annual events. “This is considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city,” says Jeff Raw, a team leader with Keller Williams Realty Metro Atlanta who has sold several homes in the area. “It’s in the Buckhead district, so there are a ton of shopping and eating options all within walking distance on Peachtree Street.”

Brookwood Hills offers turn-of-the-century dwellings

Brookwood Hills’ curvy streets brim with meticulously maintained homes. Federal-style dwellings have four to five bedrooms and brick staircases ascending to the front door. Tudor estates sit on half-acre lots with guesthouses in the backyard. Three-bedroom builds on 10,000-square-foot lots are often Cape Cod cottages, Craftsman-style bungalows and Dutch Colonial Revivals. Each property has a parking option, whether it’s a detached two-car garage or a private driveway. “It’s a very classy neighborhood and very walkable,” says Kelly Chancy, a Realtor with Keller Williams Buckhead, who has been selling homes in the area for 19 years. “It has a lot of charming time-period homes. You can find century-old homes, homes from the 1950s, and occasional new builds. It’s not cookie-cutter. Every home is its own unique home.” No matter the style, a home in Brookwood Hills can cost between $700,000 and $3 million. Homebuyers will also find condos surrounding Peachtree Street starting at $300,000 and going up $600,000.

While any neighborhood resident can join Brookwood Hills Community Club on Wakefield Drive, it also has a few non-resident memberships. There are lifeguards on duty at the swimming pool that's surrounded by lounge chairs. Tennis enthusiasts can practice their serve on the courts, and children can run around the playground with rock-climbing structures and a slide spanning the hilly terrain. “The Brookwood Hills Civic Association hosts great events in the park.
