Named the “Most Customer-Friendly Town in America” by Yelp and ranked a top-ten city for Millennial relocation by SmartAsset, Sandy Springs appeals to both long-time residents and newcomers alike. Whether you’re an empty nester seeking a welcoming community or a young professional looking for opportunity, you’ll find your place here.
Life in Sandy Springs offers the best of both worlds. With abundant parks and greenspace, direct access to the scenic Chattahoochee River, a thriving arts scene, and exceptional shopping and dining, residents enjoy the comforts of suburban living just minutes from the heart of metro Atlanta—the sixth-largest urban center in the U.S.
Our city’s success is no accident. Sandy Springs continues to invest strategically in the services and amenities that matter most—without ever raising the property tax millage rate since our founding twenty years ago.
