Sandy Springs Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 224 reviews
I think myself and my community members generally appreciate the vibrant atmosphere and diverse community of Sandy Springs, Georgia. They enjoy the abundance of recreational activities, including hiking trails in the nearby mountains, as well as the city's proximity to Atlanta for additional entertainment options. Residents often praise the area's safety and well-maintained neighborhoods, making it an ideal place to raise a family.
However, I think there is an opportunity for improved public transportation options and increased cultural amenities, such as more dining and entertainment venues. Additionally, there are calls for better traffic management to alleviate congestion during peak hours. Overall, while Sandy Springs offers many attractive features, there is a consensus among some residents that certain improvements could enhance the quality of life in the area.

I believe Sandy Springs is a culturally vibrant city close to Atlanta. I am a single, employed man who doesn't partake in local nightlife much but I appreciate the opportunities that are available for daytime activities and nightlife activities. Although living right near the I285/400 interchange has created a heavy increase in traffic, Sandy Springs is a close commute to local hot spots such as the Perimeter Mall, Buckhead, Midtown Atlanta, Downtown Atlanta, and many more attractions. I think it is a wonderful place to live and I find that with local construction plans in progress, Sandy Springs will soon become a walkable city.
Sandy Springs has been a wonderful place to live ever since I moved here in 2020. The public schools here are amazing and there is housing available right next to several of them, making it great for strolls to and from school. The shops here are great and are on every corner, which is convenient if you are looking for a job.
