Brookwood Condos

Brookwood (Brookwood Hills) is a historic intown neighborhood located between Midtown and Buckhead. Home to about 1000 people, it was founded in the early 1920s by Benjamin Franklin Burdett and his son, Arthur. The site of the neighborhood is located where some of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War took place. Burdett first created the neighborhood on the Battlefield of Peachtree Creek owned by himself and local Thomas Collier; this area is now registered as the Brookwood Hills Historic District. They built the streets in accordance to the hilly terrain, instead of the standard grid form and the oak sapling trees that are now a trademark of the neighborhood were planted there by Mr. Burdett.

Because of its central location, Brookwood has faced a lot of pressure from the metro Atlanta expansion. Efforts to develop the area such as a Marta station, industrial park, and a new high-rise were stopped thanks in large part to the strength of the Brookwood Hills Community Club (BWHCC). The homes in Brookwood have maintained their 1920s charm. The mostly older homes here have almost all undergone renovations and stayed true to the period, but there are also a number of newer homes available as well.
