A Unique Location: This area borders Doraville, Chamblee, and Tucker, but is not considered part of any of the three cities. Multicultural dining and shopping experiences as well as access to beautiful country clubs and recreational facilities make this an excellent place to live.
The Northlake/Embry Hills area is located in DeKalb County along I-285 to the northeast of Atlanta. This unincorporated community is home to a large amount of office space, retail options, and residential housing, all within a short commute of many cultural and recreational amenities.
Key Features
