"Excellent Neighborhood"

The Brookwood neighborhood is located right in the center of Atlanta, GA. It is actually north of midtown, and southwest of Buckhead. This neighborhood is actually home to about 1000 people. It is definitely a nice place to consider moving to if you are trying to re locate to the Atlanta area. Some of the most bloodiest battles from the American Civil War actually took place in this neighborhood in the 1920's. This town definitely has some great history behind it.

There are many things in this neighborhood for people to take part in, such as many parks, and neighborhood sponsored events. The parks actually include pools and tennis courts. The neighborhood can stay busy with all of the many things that they can take part in.They have so many public and private schools that are located in the area for the kids to attend. As long as they fall in between the district, then the kids will be able to attend any of them. There is a list of schools that people in this neighborhood can attend that are within the district. People looking to have a bit of extra fun, don't have to look very far to find it.

"A great alternative"

Brookwood is a great alternative to Buckhead living. Buckhead is definitely Brookwood’s pricier neighbor. Buckhead does has a reputation for having all of the finer things in life: high-end department stores for the rich and famous, ‘by reservation-only’ restaurants, spas and exclusive caterers and the like. But why HAVE the finer things in life, when all you really need is easy ACCESS to those things in nearby – without the steep housing expense? You don’t. You can find your financial escape in Brookwood!

Last month, my co-worker Patty found a fabulous apartment with a professional kitchen, near the MARTA line. Since her move, she reports that she is now saving over $500 per month in rent – without skimping on any amenities. She also feels more environmentally responsible and lives a healthier lifestyle. She commutes using mass transit every day instead of driving, and she jogs through Piedmont Park at least three times per week now. From her apartment she has incredible views of Midtown and downtown.

Brookwood is also a more laid-back district. Patty’s new neighbors are much more friendly and down to earth than their Buckhead counterparts. Patty is so in love with her new hometown, she wants to live there long-term. With the money she is saving, she hopes to buy a condo and lay down roots in Brookwood next year.
