Welcome to Sandy Springs (Outside The Perimeter)
Featuring great schools and a plethora of green space.
Most of Sandy Springs is located outside of the I-285 perimeter and offers both city and suburban-style living. Homes are varied and range from simple ranch-style houses to more elaborate multi-million-dollar estates. Popular neighborhoods include Aberdeen Forest, The Branches, The Enclave at Jett Ferry, Mt. Vernon Walk, and Londonberry. Condos and townhomes are also scattered throughout.
Offering a suburban existence, Sandy Springs OTP is just a short drive away from ITP towns but still maintains its own distinct charm and character. There’s lots of green space here, and properties are quite expansive.
