Car Hire North Atlanta

North Atlanta Georgia Mini Guide

Is North Atlanta Just Part of Atlanta Georgia?
No, in fact it often goes by the name Brookhaven so as not to confuse it with the northern part of the city which is actually some miles away to the south east. Brookhaven is considered a historic town and grew from the development of weekend cottages for the wealthy of Atlanta. These were built on farmland that was previously owned by one of Brookhaven’s founding families, the Goodwins who also gave their name to a railway station in Brookhaven

How Easy is it to get to?
With a hire car from Atlanta Airport, Brookhaven is only a half hour drive. You’ll leave the hustle and the bustle of the big city and the world’s busiest airport behind you and head through gentle Georgian countryside to the small city of Brookhaven. Atlanta takes flights from virtually all around the world so getting there from the UK and Europe won’t ever be a problem.



What is There to See and Do in North Atlanta?
Begin with a walk or drive down Peachtree Road. There you’ll see the early origins of Brookhaven with the original Goodwin home preserved for posterity and the family’s graveyard tucked behind. A little further on, sports enthusiasts will home in on the Capital City Country Club which accepts guest memberships if you want to use the golf course or other facilities. Other than that, Brookhaven is also a great place to stay if you want to visit Atlanta but don’t want to pay high hotel rates or if you want the option of some peace and quiet
