FROM RAIL TOWN TO ECO-FRIENDLY SHOPPING

Peachtree Station adds a new sense of community to one of the fastest growing areas in the Atlanta metro. What once was a sleepy railroad town was called metro Atlanta’s hottest real estate market in 2017 by RE/MAX. While it grew rapidly among people and pets who enjoy the outdoors and a more natural lifestyle, it became apparent that something more was needed. Peachtree Station opened to offer people a place close to home where they can enjoy time with friends, access health services and shop for items that add to their lifestyle.

Chamblee’s Growth

The City of Chamblee commenced as a small southern rail town from an area originally consisting of dairy farms. In 1917, Chamblee’s dairy land was transformed into Camp Gordon and later regenerated into a Navy flight training facility which is now home to Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, the second busiest airport in the state of Georgia.

In the 1980s, the city changed drastically. Large manufacturing sites downsized or closed and the city suffered a depleting tax base and major loss in population due to young workers following jobs in rapid-growing northern suburbs.

Chamblee has since transformed into a thriving and progressive urban community encompassing a multicultural lifestyle.

Chamblee recently experienced a rapid influx of commercial development and private-investment projects such apartments, townhomes, senior housing, office, retail and restaurant space. A large sector of the development centered around MARTA’s Gold Rail Line, provides access to Atlanta’s largest office submarkets, Buckhead, Central Perimeter, Midtown and Downtown as well as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
