Is Brookhaven good for a recent grad?

I am a 22M moving to Atlanta and have narrowed my search down to Buckhead and Brookhaven! I read that most younger people live in Buckhead since that is where a lot of nightlife is. However, I don't plan on going out much, but I still want to live among people my age range (20s) in a safe (as safe as you could be for a city, that is) area. Would Brookhaven be a good area for this? Thanks!
