Beautiful area! Unfortunately, people around here drive like maniacs. Sandy Springs is a great area for food and restaurants, like most of Georgia. Living expenses are about what you'd expect of a small city squished between the suburbs and Atlanta. Tensions are high in this area; this city has a VERY diverse background of ethnicities, classes, political stances, and religious beliefs. However, like most of Georgia, the "majority" of peoples beliefs tends to stick to conservative and Christian values.
I absolutely love living in Sansy Springs, Georgia! I have been here for a little over ten years, and this city has afforded me many opportunities that I otherwise wouldn't have had in the small town that I am from. Sandy Springs has everything a person could need or want in close proximity. I would highly recommend Sandy Springs living to anyone that would be interested. I especially love the sense of community in Sandy Springs. Not to mention the awesome police department that keeps their citizens safe. All in all, there's nothing I can say negatively about Sandy Springs!
It is a great area because it is close to everything. Commutes to downtown are only about 30 minutes if the traffic is good so it is pretty reasonable. Some cons are that traffic does tend to be pretty heavy, it is very expensive to live here and the prices just seem to be going up. However, it is relatively close to everything in the area and if you don't like traffic there are plenty of things to do in the area. I can't say anything about the school system because I attend school in the downtown Atlanta area.
