Brooks is a rural Georgia community in Fayette County
Brooks is a rural enclave in southern Fayette County with modern amenity access and secluded Georgia outdoors close to home. Land is an ample commodity in Brooks, as homes tend to sit on spacious lots fenced in by Georgia trees rather than white pickets or shared walls. Homebuyers can find various ranch and brick traditional-style homes here, and while most homes were built in the late 1990s, there are several new constructions on the market as well. Brooks is also home to a prominent land market, with many undeveloped lots for commercial or residential use available. Carrie Guthrie, a Brooks local and Realtor with Bush Real Estate says, “The land market is appealing to homebuyers; there’s a 5-acre minimum for residential lots unless you’ve been grandfathered in.”
Brooks homes often sit on secluded lots surrounded by Georgia trees.
Extended driveways are common for Brooks properties on spacious acreage.

Homes come in a variety of sizes and prices on acres of land
Single-family homes range from $478,000 to $1 million, from a three-bedroom, three-bath on one end of the range to a luxury mansion resting on 5 acres. Streets are long and winding, with residential streets branching off into cul-de-sacs. Considering the rural atmosphere of the community, yard space is prioritized over sidewalk space, so consistent infrastructure for walking is only sometimes there. Most homes feature straight driveways and attached garages, reducing the need for on-street parking.
Ranch-style designs are frequently seen among Brooks homes with acreage.

Brooks is a car-dependent community about 15 miles from Fayetteville
With the lot sizes and country roads, driving is the preferred method of travel for Brooks residents. Many folks take the 36-mile drive north to downtown Atlanta or the 15-mile drive to Fayetteville for nearby work commutes. Considering the vast space that Brooks locals own, Guthrie adds, “People typically use the land for agriculture and livestock rather than for large-scale residential growth.” The community is identified by its rural developments and proximity to retail and dining in neighboring Fayetteville and Senoia.
