I love living in Sandy Springs. Sandy Springs is extremely family-friendly and safe. With amazing restaurants, Sandy Springs is the perfect place for a date night and it is super easy to find a reliable babysitter around! My favorite part of Sandy Springs is the City Hall and its surrounding park. City Springs is very clean, pleasant, and has everything you could need for a night out or a productive morning.

This city is tranquil, lush with trees and a great place to live! I love having access to the highway and being close to many wonderful restaurants.

I have really enjoyed Sandy Springs! It is just a short drive from Atlanta populated with anything from families, to up and coming young professionals. There is something for everyone here. My personal favorite thing to do is visit some of the community parks and nature areas. VERY well-kept and safe for everyone.
