Overview
Sandy Springs sits at the intersection of I-285 and GA-400, making it one of Metro Atlanta's most accessible and economically vibrant communities. The city is anchored by the Perimeter Center business district, one of the largest employment centers in the Southeast, housing major corporations including UPS, Cox Enterprises, and Mercedes-Benz USA.
Incorporated in 2005, Sandy Springs has developed a strong identity as a city that combines the energy of an urban business hub with the comfort of established residential neighborhoods. The city offers an impressive diversity of housing, from luxury high-rise condos with skyline views to ranch homes on quiet, tree-lined streets.
With the Chattahoochee River forming its western border, the city is rich in natural beauty. Over 30 parks, miles of riverfront trails, and the award-winning Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center make this a community where culture and nature coexist beautifully.
