Newtown is the greener side of John’s Creek
Life in Newtown has always revolved around its countryside appeal. Before the first schoolhouse was established in the 1920s, this portion of Fulton County was open farmland where families harvested crops. Today, it’s much more built out with residential subdivisions and streets, though lush green landscapes remain. “I call it the best corner in North Fulton,” Atlanta Fine Homes Realtor Denise Sperier says. “The parks, the schools, the shopping and dining, the walkability, three grocery store options – you don’t find all of that in one corner very often.”
Newtown is a quiet neighborhood surrounded by nature in Johns Creek, Georgia.
The Fresh Market in Newtown offers a variety of organic and fresh produce at Old Alabama Square.

Newtown’s dog park and pavilion
Newtown Park is the neighborhood’s signature 46-acre park with tennis and pickleball courts, baseball and softball fields and walking trails. The Newtown Dream Dog Park is a one-acre play area with artificial turf, obstacles and sprinklers and was rated the second-best dog park in the nation by “USA Today.” Summer concerts are held at the 10,000-square-foot Mark Burkhalter Amphitheater, which seats 1,400 on its terraced lawn. “Every day, they’ll have a public exercise class like yoga or Zumba,” Sperier says. “It’s a great park – I walk around it every day.”
