Downtown Sandy Springs - Atlanta, GA Area Guide

One of Atlanta's fastest-growing neighborhoods

Busy Urban Offices Commuters Shopping

Downtown Sandy Springs is located near the intersection of Roswell Road and Hammond Drive, but it isn't a traditional downtown -- it tends to be somewhat spread-out with no clearly-defined shopping and dining district. Instead, Downtown Sandy Springs is a sprawling area filled with office buildings, apartments, shopping plazas, and a handful of restaurants. Downtown's most prominent landmark is Northside Tower, located along Roswell Road and Sandy Springs Place. This nine-story, mid-rise office building is the unofficial heart of Downtown Sandy Springs, offering street-level shops and a restaurant. Downtown Sandy Springs features several great locations, including the Heritage Sandy Springs Museum, the Anne Frank Museum, and City Walk Sandy Springs -- a popular outdoor shopping mall. Sandy Springs is minutes away from Buckhead and Downtown Atlanta, with easy access to Chastain Park, Buckhead Theatre, Lenox Square Mall, and Phipps Plaza. With I-285 at the south end of Downtown Sandy Springs and the North Springs MARTA Station roughly two miles away, this fast-growing neighborhood is very popular with commuters.
