About Drew
Valley
Drew Valley, located between Buford Highway and Peachtree Road, is a residential and commuter-friendly Brookhaven neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a wooded, creek-cut topography. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Buford Highway corridor near Clairmont Road, where taquerias, panaderías, and late-night eateries sit beside international groceries and small storefronts. Housing leans toward brick ranches and split-levels with deep setbacks, plus pockets of newer infill near major arterials. Murphey Candler Park frames the area with trails, ballfields, and a lake-like pond. Blackburn Park adds courts and open lawns for everyday routines. Local pillars include Plaza Fiesta, Buford Highway Farmers Market, and the Atlanta Silverbacks Park complex.
