The neighborhood has mid-century homes on spacious lots
Most of Brookhaven’s homes were built in the mid-to-late 20th century, with the oldest homes dating to the 1950s. Popular home styles include ranch-style, Colonial Revival and midcentury modern. Many homes sit on tree-lined lots at least a half-acre in size. “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,” says Emily Aldrich Barbour, Realtor with Hodge & Kittrell Sotheby's International Realty and longtime neighborhood resident. Pockets of the community were built more recently, with two-story contemporary homes and some custom-built, modern properties throughout. Apartment complexes, such as The Tribute and The Timbers, are also on the edges of the community.
Brookhaven has newer homes in subdivisions.
Some homes in Brookhaven date as far back as the 1950s.

Glenwood Avenue also connects northwest to the Research Park area, home to many employers in the science and tech industries.
Just east, Creedmoor Road also has many options within a few miles, including Aldi, Trader Joe’s and restaurants like Margaux’s. “Margaux’s Restaurant has been there for 20 years. It’s entry-level fine dining, with white tablecloths. It's a date night place,” Force says.

The neighborhood has long-term residents and a sense of community
Barber emphasizes how people who move to the neighborhood 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.” The neighborhood has worked to maintain the area’s quiet, residential feel. For instance, community members petitioned past efforts to rezone lots along Glenwood Avenue in Brookhaven for commercial use.
