Brookhaven's convenient location keeps residents in the neighborhood
In northwest Raleigh, Brookhaven is a few miles from shopping centers and highway access points but feels more private and tucked away under dense foliage. Emily Aldrich Barbour is a Realtor with Hodge & Kittrell Sotheby's International Realty who has lived in the neighborhood for 21 years. She says once people buy into Brookhaven, they tend to stay. “Three of my neighbors are original owners from 1958 and 1959,” she says. “Kids will grow up here, move away, and then move back when their parents pass away.” According to Barbour, well-built, unique homes on larger wooded lots are a big selling point in addition to the neighborhood’s welcoming community.

A variety of home styles and prices
Brookhaven was first established in the late 1950s after World War II, but there are some options for newer houses, with some currently under construction. “It’s a bit different than when you move into a newer neighborhood, and you don’t have all of the lovely growth of the trees,” Barbour says. Traditional, ranch-style and split-level properties are common styles that typically sit on lots of half of an acre or larger. “There’s a collection of about eight to a dozen midcentury modern homes that are really gorgeous and have wonderful views of the woods,” Barbour says. Prices range from $515,000 to $1,485,000, depending on square footage and age of the home. Barbour recently sold a house in Brookhaven that was on the market for four days.
Brookhaven has a variety of homes from old to new.

Green spaces for walking and watching wildlife
Brookhaven Nature Park is a 26-acre green space with an observation deck above its pond for spotting wildlife. The pavilions in the picnic area provide a shady place to sit, and there are about 2 miles of walking trails that loop together. With the hills of North Raleigh, the trails can provide quite a hike. Wooten Meadow Park is another option for walking in Brookhaven. The neighborhood is under 2 miles from Lake Lynn and Shelley Lake Parks, the latter offering docks and a pedestrian bridge for fishing. It’s home to the Sertoma Arts Center, basketball courts and playgrounds. The neighborhood doesn’t have a homeowners association, but they do have a book club and a garden club.

Learning with Wake County Public Schools
Jeffreys Grove Magnet Elementary in the northern region of the neighborhood earns an A grade from Niche. Other addresses are zoned for A-minus-rated York Elementary. “They’re both right in the neighborhood, so kids can walk to school,” Barbour says. Oberlin Magnet Middle also receives an A-minus, while Sanderson High has a B-plus rating. Students at the high school can apply to the Academy of Finance, a four-year program that teaches courses on financial planning, business, entrepreneurship and economics. The Wake County Public School System has other early college and magnet schools that students can apply to based on their address.
