Embry Hills
Neighborhood in Chamblee, Georgia
DeKalb County 30340, 30341
Embry Hills is a 1960s time capsule
Homebuyers will find a wealth of 1960s ranch houses, split-levels and condos, as well as some contemporary homes with two-car garages. "Embry Hills has bigger homes than the downtown Atlanta area,” says Stephen Jones, a real estate investor with Light Box Homes and an area resident. “A lot also come with basements built in the 1960s, which are very durable."Condos typically range from $200,000 to $300,000, while single-family homes sell between $450,000 to $700,000. “Priced-right houses are on the market for a week or less,” Steinburg says. “It’s a beautiful neighborhood and extremely walkable.”

Embry Hills Club serves as a community gathering spot
The private Embry Hills Club on Alton Road offers a pool and tennis courts, as well as year-round festivities like Festivus and Memorial Day cookouts.Silverbacks Park, on Atlanta Silverbacks Way, is a sports complex with four fields that regularly hosts adult soccer and rugby leagues. After a game, locals can walk to the park's on-site restaurant, Willie B's Bar and Grill for burgers or their signature “flaming mac and cheese” dish.
At Brook Park, just west of the community in Doraville, residents can take their kids to play on the playground, walk the dog or play a game of tennis.

DeKalb County Schools system bridges the digital divide
Public school students may attend multiple schools, including Henderson Mill Elementary, Henderson Middle and Lakeside High. The schools are part of the DeKalb County Schools district and earn C-plus, B-minus and B-plus Niche grades, respectively. As part of the district’s Digital Dreamers program, students at all three schools are provided with laptops and wireless access.For higher education, Mercer University’s Atlanta campus is directly south of Embry Hills. More than 2,000 students attend the private university, which offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.

Embry Village is a hub for shopping and dining
At Embry Village, on Chamblee Tucker Road, residents can stock up on groceries at Kroger, work out at Planet Fitness, or grab coffee at Starbucks. The shopping center also hosts popular burger joints like Three Dollar Café and Wayback Burgers. “It’s got all the basic services anyone would need,” Steinburg says.For greater shopping options, Lenox Square mall is only 10 miles southwest, offering more than 250 luxury stores, including Bloomingdale's and Louis Vuitton.

Residents hop on Interstate 85 to get to downtown Atlanta
Embry Hills residents largely depend on their cars to get around the community. "Sidewalks are present but not the most consistent to make a grocery run walkable,” Jones says. Downtown Atlanta can be reached with a 15-mile drive south on Interstate 85. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a 22-mile trip and Emory University Hospital is 10 miles away along that same stretch of highway. The Doraville MARTA station, about 4 miles northwest, also connects residents to the Atlanta metro area.Embry Hills residents enjoy nearby Atlanta attractions
Embry Hills' proximity to Atlanta is a major draw to the area. With a 15-mile drive, residents can catch a Falcons football game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or see the Hawks basketball team play at State Farm Arena. Centennial Olympic Park offers walking paths, a splash pad to cool off in the warmer months and historical significance, as it hosted the 1996 Olympic Games.
