Ashford Park in Brookhaven is conveniently located
Ashford Park is a walkable suburban neighborhood where popular local restaurants and bars are just a short walk or golf cart ride away. Situated within the Interstate 285 perimeter that circles downtown Atlanta, residents are also within easy reach of the city by car or subway. A major attraction for many homebuyers is Ashford Park’s Brookhaven location. “People want to have their own cities so that they have more local control because our metro counties are so large that they incorporate such a diversity of neighborhoods,” says Realtor Jody Steinberg, the lead agent of the LaVista Hills Team at Bolst, Inc., who has been selling homes in Atlanta for 14 years. She says incorporated boundaries allow cities to be managed “in a way that many people want to live there.”
The community vibe in Ashford Park is strengthened by its walkable layout.
Ashford Park is conveniently located for commuters with nearby MARTA and major highways, like I-85 and I-285.

Midcentury homes and new construction in Ashford Park
Ashford Park’s original midcentury cottages and ranch-style homes sell for $335,000 to $900,000, depending on the extent of renovation. Many are being torn down and replaced by modern farmhouses and traditional-style properties, which feature up to six bedrooms and sell for $1 million to $2.8 million, Steinberg says. “Ashford Park had been defined by big lots and tiny, inexpensive houses,” she notes. “Now [it’s] defined by a lot more newer construction than the original houses that were there.” The third-acre lots are along sometimes hilly streets, where unmarked roads wind past mature trees and shrubs. Townhouses are in the neighborhood’s three corners and cost between $445,000 and $730,000.
Ashford Park was originally developed in the mid-20th century with quaint ranch-style homes with new builds, like customs and contemporary farmhouses.
Modern farmhouses in Ashford Park often include high ceilings and large porches.

Restaurants within walking distance on Dresden Drive
Dresden Drive, which runs along the neighborhood’s southern edge, has restaurants with menus ranging from smoked meat at Dixie Q to Italian at Valenza Restaurant. “People can walk to neighborhood restaurants and pubs,” Steinberg says. Ashford Park is also within 2 miles of popular restaurant hubs on Buford Highway and Peachtree Boulevard, which Steinberg says are lined with fantastic restaurants. Grocery stores within 2 miles include Publix, Savi Provisions and Costco. The Brookhaven Farmers Market sells fresh fruit and vegetables from April to November. Three miles away, Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square malls house a combined 300-plus retailers and other businesses.
Ashford Park locals can take a short drive to Phipps Plaza, the #1 iconic destination for luxury shopping.

A shaded rest stop at Ashford Forest Preserve
Towering pine trees shade the trails at the Ashford Forest Preserve on Skyland Drive, where paths follow peaceful creeks framed by wildflowers. The Jeanne Kirkpatrick Memorial Ashford Park on Redding Road has a jungle gym playground, tennis courts and a colorful splash pad.
Getting to Atlanta from Ashford Park
Ashford Park is near two major Atlanta arteries. Interstate 85, which is 2 miles south, travels into downtown. I-85 also connects with I-285. “Probably the most defining negative aspect of metro Atlanta this decade is the traffic,” Steinberg says. “It takes you twice as long as it once did to get anywhere. So being closer to the city is a lot more expensive, but it saves you a ton of time.” The Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority’s (MARTA) Brookhaven-Oglethorpe subway station, a mile from the center of the neighborhood, travels through downtown to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport 20 miles away. The neighborhood is also in the flight path of the municipal Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, where private jets land. Several medical facilities are within 5 miles, including Northside Atlanta Hospital, Emory Saint Joesph’s Hospital and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Arthur M. Blank Hospital.
