Doraville is committed to business as well as the business of community. The City has long been an integral part of the growth and development of Atlanta. With visionary leadership, a strong community spirit and services that are second to none, this city with a “small town” atmosphere epitomizes the type of lifestyle many seek when deciding where to raise their families.
As the gateway to Atlanta and just a 30 minute train ride to the rest of the world, Doraville’s most important asset is its access to major transportation modes, providing several different methods of conveyance. The City is strategically located near four interstate and intrastate highway systems, including I-285, I-85, I-75, and I-20.
The City’s transit system, however, is one of the best anywhere and is anchored by the Doraville MARTA Station, the final station on metro Atlanta’s Northeast Line. DeKalb-Peachtree Airport is less than three miles away, and Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport is only a 30-minute drive away.
The former 165 acre GM assembly plant sits adjacent to the MARTA station. Ripe for redevelopment, eventually, the site will be largest transit oriented development in the nation and the largest urban brownfield redevelopment east of the Mississippi.
