Just north of Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Georgia blends natural beauty, neighborhood charm, and sophisticated living. Whether you’re exploring for the weekend, considering a move, or already lucky enough to live here, Sandy Springs offers the perfect balance — outdoor adventure, amazing food, local culture, and an active, connected community.
As a Sandy Springs Realtor and neighborhood expert, I’ve helped clients discover not just homes — but lifestyles. I was born, raised and still call Sandy Springs home. Here are some of my favorite ways to experience the best of Sandy Springs.
1. Explore the Outdoors
Few Atlanta suburbs embrace the outdoors quite like Sandy Springs.
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
The “Hooch” is our local playground — perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or an easy riverside walk. Popular trails like Island Ford and Cochran Shoals offer peaceful escapes, wildlife views, and that signature Sandy Springs serenity.
Morgan Falls Overlook Park
Grab your coffee and head to the swings overlooking the river. It’s one of the best sunrise (or sunset) views in metro Atlanta — a favorite for locals, families, and photographers alike. Enjoy the new boardwalk over the lake.
Abernathy Greenway Linear Park
This shady, art-filled greenway is home to the whimsical “Playable Art Park,” where interactive sculptures double as play spaces for kids.
2. Immerse Yourself in Arts and Culture
City Springs is the heart of Sandy Springs — home to the Performing Arts Center, local concerts, farmers markets, and community festivals. On a warm evening, there’s nothing better than dinner at The Select followed by live music under the lights of City Green.
3. Dine and Drink Like a Local
Foodies, you’re in the right suburb. Sandy Springs’ dining scene rivals the city — without the traffic.
