A Welcome “Haven”

Located 19 miles northeast of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and just 10 miles from downtown Atlanta, Brookhaven’s community-focused vibe enchants visitors and locals alike. Comprised of distinct neighborhoods, Brookhaven is reminiscent of a laid-back smaller town with all the perks and benefits of a big city.

Walkable neighborhoods, well preserved greenspace, locally owned restaurants, one-of-akind shops and beloved annual events provide noteworthy experiences for visitors no matter the season. And better yet, pets are even welcome to come along. Couples can bring their furry friend on a romantic date in pet-friendly Brookhaven, (shown on our cover) an Inside-the-Perimeter city more reminiscent of a quaint smaller town.

Celebrate the season with friends and some of the best craft cocktails around at The Ashford. This chef-driven neighborhood restaurant, located on Dresden Drive in the heart of Brookhaven, is the perfect spot for seasonal sips. Go for cocktails and stay for dinner. Featuring a selection of both shareable dishes and traditional entrees, the seasonal menu focuses on locally sourced ingredients and innovative twists on classic favorites.
