- Britney Javens, (678) 780-8238
For decades Chamblee was a quiet town built on rail and industry. Then the rest of the metro took notice. Its historic downtown beside the tracks is now one of the most active small-city centers in the region, with breweries, restaurants and a Rail Trail linking new mixed-use projects. The city’s own MARTA station on the Gold Line holds it all together. Britney leads our Chamblee work and has watched the change at close range.
Housing is the main attraction. Huntley Hills and Sexton Woods date from the mid-century and offer solid brick ranches on real lots, at prices not found in intown Atlanta. Around the downtown core and along Peachtree Boulevard, new townhome communities keep going up. At the upper end, new construction and renovated homes now reach past $1M. Buford Highway, the most celebrated international dining corridor in the Southeast, runs along the edge of the city.
Buyers here weigh a broad set of choices: condos, townhomes, ranches and new builds, with Brookhaven and Buckhead only minutes away. Because condition and location change the value of each one, we compare the numbers with clients before they commit. Britney’s background in renovation is useful in a place where older ranches and new construction compete for the same buyer. And when a search widens north toward the lake or the mountains, Karen picks it up within the same team.

Questions buyers and sellers ask.
What is the price range for Chamblee homes?
Condos and townhomes generally run from the $300s to the $500s. Mid-century ranches mostly fall between the $400s and $700s, and new construction and renovated homes start in the $700s and pass $1M. We provide current figures on request, since the right value depends on the property, its condition and its location.
How much has Chamblee changed in recent years?
A great deal. The downtown has been substantially redeveloped, with new housing and a growing number of restaurants. The MARTA station and the short distance to Brookhaven and Buckhead continue to draw buyers, though pricing and inventory shift, so we check the market fresh for each client.
Is there a train station in Chamblee?
Yes. Chamblee has a Gold Line MARTA station in its downtown, which is uncommon and valuable. Riders reach Buckhead, downtown Atlanta and the airport by rail.
Who is Chamblee a good fit for?
First-time buyers, young families and investors all find reasons to look here. The city offers a walkable downtown, rail transit, Buford Highway dining nearby and prices below those of neighboring markets. We suggest comparing it closely with Brookhaven, Doraville and Sandy Springs.
