River Chase is a tucked-away neighborhood on the Chattahoochee
River Chase is a quiet Sandy Springs neighborhood along the Chattahoochee River with large homes and great views. “The style in the 60s and 70s and even 80s was, put the houses away from the central business district, make it less busy,” says Ariel Baverman, a longtime Sandy Springs resident and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “These neighborhoods are more tucked away, so you don’t have commercial traffic driving past your house,” she says about River Chase and the surrounding area.
Welcome to the River Chase community where neighbors feel more like family.
