Historic and Varied: Doraville is comprised of three distinct neighborhoods which feature largely post-World War II housing. Whether you prefer Tilly Mill, Northwoods, or Oakcliff, you will find bungalow, split-level, and ranch-style architecture alongside modern in-fill homes.
Doraville was founded in 1871, and now boasts a diverse and international population of more than 10,000 residents. Located 10 miles northeast of Atlanta, this city contains a large portion of the dining and retail corridor that is Buford Highway.
Key Features
Opportunities Abound: Doraville is home to the Southeast’s most prosperous immigrant-owned small business community as well as the former General Motors Assembly Plant, a 165-acre swath of prime real estate poised for redevelopment. With progressive leadership and access to a market of five million and growing, Doraville has all the tangible assets needed for a start-up venture or business relocation.
