Brookhaven is one of DeKalb County's newest cities — incorporated in 2012 — and one of the most walkable submarkets outside the City of Atlanta itself. It's served by MARTA, anchored by Brookhaven Village and Town Brookhaven, and only minutes from Emory University, the CDC, and the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta corridor. Short-term rental guests here are a mix of medical and academic visitors, corporate travelers, and weekend leisure visitors who want urban walkability with less in-town intensity than Midtown or O4W. Stellar Rentals manages Brookhaven STRs with that profile in mind.

Hosting tips for Brookhaven properties

Lean into medical and academic visitor demand

Many Brookhaven STR guests are visiting Emory, CDC, or Children's Healthcare for multi-day medical stays. Comfort details matter disproportionately: blackout curtains, easy parking, quiet HVAC, a kitchen stocked for actual cooking. Listings that mention 'walking distance to Emory' or 'easy access to CHOA' in the description capture this high-quality demand.

MARTA proximity is a real listing-conversion driver

Guests booking Brookhaven specifically often pick it for MARTA access — airport in 30 minutes, downtown in 20, no car rental needed. If your property is within walking distance of Brookhaven/Oglethorpe Station, lead with it in your listing title.

Don't undervalue the pet-friendly market

Brookhaven has unusually high pet-friendly STR demand thanks to Murphey Candler and Blackburn Park. Pet-friendly listings here see ADR uplift of $15–$40/night with proper pet fee structures — a meaningful margin without much added operational overhead.
