Brookhaven is one of those neighborhoods that quietly wins people over. The streets curve under old oaks, the Capital City Country Club anchors the historic district, and Dresden Drive has rebuilt itself into one of the metro's most charming village strips. Families move here for the schools and the scale — and end up staying because their kids' best friends live three doors down.
