DUNWOODY SANDY SPRINGS EXPLORING

LUXURY NEIGHBORHOODS

Chattahoochee Plantation | Exclusive, Stately, Tranquil

Chattahoochee Plantation, a prestigious unincorporated community in Cobb County, Georgia, offers an exclusive residential experience. This picturesque enclave boasts 87 custom and executive manor homes, all within walking distance of the renowned Atlanta Country Club. The neighborhood features a mix of established residences constructed between 1970 and 1999, as well as newer homes built from 2000 to the present, ensuring a range of housing options for discerning buyers. The area’s rich history includes its previous incorporation as a city in 1961 with plans for a luxury housing development around a golf club. In 1968, the city’s boundaries were extended to cover the entire length of Cobb County to protect it from Atlanta’s expansion. Despite these historical developments, Chattahoochee Plantation never formed a city government, and its city charter was revoked in 1995. Today, it comprises gated communities, riverfront homes along Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and private golf courses. While residents have a Marietta address, they reside outside Marietta city limits, enjoying a distinctive suburban lifestyle.

With a history dating back 50 years, the city boasts spacious, well-constructed homes on expansive lots, many with access to swimming and tennis facilities. Recent developments include high-density apartments, condominiums, and urban live/work/play options, diversifying the housing landscape. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the city’s proximity to the Chattahoochee River and its recreation center, the Dunwoody Golf and Country Club, and East Roswell Park. Dunwoody boasts coveted neighborhoods like Redfield, known for its range of homes and access to recreational amenities, and Wyntercreek, offering a city-feel with a peaceful atmosphere.

Sandy Springs | Active, Dynamic, Upscale

Sandy Springs, once a tranquil suburb north of Atlanta, has blossomed into a dynamic city, drawing in major corporations and a diverse population. The housing landscape offers a mix of high-density housing along main roads and exclusive gated communities nestled within established neighborhoods. Notably, the City Springs development has crafted an appealing downtown hub, fostering a walkable environment for living, working, shopping, and dining, complete with a stunning performing arts venue. Sandy Springs effortlessly balances its corporate influence with creative retail ventures, enriching the city’s character. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the 20-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River bordering the city, home to three National Park sites, offering a serene escape from the urban hustle.
