About Sandy Springs

Sandy Springs is the second-largest city in Metro Atlanta, with about 110,000 residents, located immediately north of the city of Atlanta along the I-285 perimeter and GA-400. The city is anchored by the City Springs civic and performing arts complex, major employers including UPS's global headquarters and Mercedes-Benz USA, and a strong concentration of suburban single-family neighborhoods.

Sandy Springs real estate covers a wide range — established mid-century ranch homes from $500,000, post-2000 single-family construction from $700,000 to $1.5 million, and luxury homes along the Chattahoochee River and in older estate neighborhoods commonly listed from $1.5 million to $5 million+. The area also offers a strong condo and townhome inventory near the perimeter.

City Springs

The City Springs civic complex includes a performing arts center, restaurants, retail, and a true downtown core that the city built from scratch beginning in 2018.

Top Schools

Strong Fulton County school options, plus easy access to several of the top private schools in the metro.
