Small DeKalb County city with a rich history
Chamblee once served as the location for Camp Gordon during WWI and WWII. In the 1940s, when a General Motors manufacturing plant was established nearby, Chamblee was a convenient location for employees to live. Today, this small, bustling city less than 20 miles from Atlanta is many things. It’s home to Atlanta Chinatown, a popular indoor shopping center that draws thousands of people across DeKalb County looking for authentic cuisine, tea houses and shops. It’s also an affordable option for first-time home buyers and empty nesters as they’re priced out of nearby communities. “As Buckhead and Brookhaven became unaffordable, people started moving into Chamblee.” Chris Tallman, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Atlanta who started his career selling homes in Chamblee.

Single-story homes to luxury townhomes
Chamblee is mostly residential on the north and south sides, with retailers and the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport in the center. Like many neighborhoods outside of Atlanta, subdivisions are filled with single-family homes in a classic, colonial or midcentury-era ranch-style surrounded by pine trees. Lot sizes tend to run large, giving residents big front yards and backyards spacious enough for pools or patios. In the heart of the city, luxury condos and townhomes built in 2018 or more recently are available. The median price for single-family homes is about $575,000; for townhouses, it’s a bit higher at $577,000. These prices are higher than in Atlanta but much lower than in Brookhaven.

Culturally diverse dining options along Buford Highway
“As the years have gone by, Chamblee has gotten a lot of unique restaurants, cool bars, and cool breweries. It has an old-town vibe with lots of new culture,” Tallman says of Chamblee’s restaurant and shopping scene. One big draw is Atlanta Chinatown, a shopping mall with authentic tea houses, restaurants and gift shops. Peachtree Station is another popular shopping hub, located on an old railroad site and anchored by Whole Foods. Buford Highway is lined with restaurant options, including Food Terminal, which serves Malaysian dishes, Canton House Chinese and the Vietnamese restaurant Ph? B?c. Urgent care clinics within the city provide immediate care for residents, while the Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital is located about 5 miles away. More shopping, dining and entertaining options are about 15 miles away in Atlanta.
