Located north of I-285 between Sandy Springs and Norcross, Dunwoody is one of Atlanta’s most popular suburban cities. With several businesses located within the city, Dunwoody is more than a suburb – it’s a live-work-play community with plenty to offer. But for those who do commute, Dunwoody has access to MARTA so residents can quickly reach Downtown Atlanta.

This park-filled community is a popular shopping destination, home to the upscale Perimeter Mall and several surrounding strip plazas. Dunwoody is great for families and students, home to the Georgia State University: Perimeter College – Dunwoody Campus. Brooks Run Park is a massive community park, featuring a treetop rope course and a dog run. Well-maintained greenway access points to the Dunwoody Trailway and PATH400 are available here.

The Chattahoochee River, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, and Dunwoody Country Club are to the north of Dunwoody, while Morgan Falls Overlook Park and Cherokee Town & Country Club are to the west.
