WHERE YOU LIVE
Places since 1985.
Residents love their communi
ty’s long history. Historic Brookhaven
Neighborhood Association President
Frank Clementis home dates to 1929.
Martinez said her house is built on land
that was once owned by Atlanta May
or William B. Hartsfield. Residents are
so proud of their community that some
objected to sharing its name when the
new city of Brookhaven was created by
the state Legislature last year.
People from outside Historic
Brookhaven love the lush lawns and his
toric homes, too. Houses in the neigh
borhood are often used as venues for
fundraisers, and movie studios regular
ly use the neighborhood as a location
for filming. “They love the diversity of
the neighborhood, the different archi
tectural style, the big lots and big trees,”
dementi said.
Recently, the movies “Life As We
Know It” and “Hall Pass” were filmed in
the neighborhood. And dementi said
his kitchen is being considered as the set
for a commercial.
Clementi said Historic Brookhaven
is home to people in all stages of life.
There are people who grew up in the
neighborhood who now want to move
back and raise their own families there.
One Historic Brookhaven family has
been in the neighborhood for four gen
erations, he said.
Martinez said some residents love the
neighborhood so much that they will move
to a new house just a few blocks away.
“They might move, but many of them
move within the neighborhood because
they don’t want to leave the neighbor
hood. Nobody wants to move,” she said.
“Many of our houses sell without even
going on the market.”

borhood Association is not your aver
age homeowners association. Run by
a 14-member board, the organization
keeps watch over zoning and transpor
tation issues in two counties, in addition
to replacing pillars at the entrances to
the neighborhood and hosting welcome
parties for new neighbors.
“I think there’s a real passion on the
board that really cares,” dementi said.
“There’s so much going on here -- like
development — that we need to take an
active role.”
Despite being more than a century
old, there is an ephemeral quality about
Historic Brookhaven.
“Many neighborhoods go through
ebbs and flows and cycles,” Martinez
said. “Here, you have a neighborhood
that has been pretty active for 103 years.”

It’s all about caring for Mom
At every milestone of my life I felt my mother’s eyes light up.
And now that I have a family of my own I know what it means to
be a Mom. So when my Mom needed daily help with normal ac
tivities of living we chose The Hallmark® Buckhead. The personal
comfort, care and levels of service provided are up to Mom’s high
standards - and mine, too. Now when I see Mom’s eyes light up
I know it’s because she feels at home.
