Sprawling acreage community on the banks of the Chattahoochee River
Shaped by the Interstate 285 loop and the Chattahoochee River, Sandy Springs ITP has a prime location between Atlanta’s upscale Buckhead district and suburban Sandy Springs. Nature surrounds the entire neighborhood, from miles of hiking trails around the Chattahoochee River to Chastain Park, with sports fields, a public golf course and a Michelan-reviewed restaurant. Between these parks, the spread-out community has big acreage lots and distinctive private estates. Sandy Springs ITP also has a 7.75% tax rate as of 2024, compared to the 8% rate in neighboring Buckhead area. “You get the best of both worlds because you get all the amenities of Buckhead while paying Sandy Springs taxes, which are lower,” says Lindsey Tilley, a Realtor with Ansley Atlanta Real Estate, LLC.
ITP Sandy Springs locals often enjoy the many amenities and features found at Chastain Park.

Hiking on the Chattahoochee River and concerts at Chastain Park
Chastain Park on Powers Ferry Road is one of the largest parks in the city. Visitors can walk or ride a golf cart to explore sports fields, the Chastain Equestrian Center, North Fulton Golf Course and Cadence Bank Amphitheater, an outdoor Live Nation venue. "Within Sandy Springs, there are incredible baseball, football and basketball programs with youth," says Bonneau Ansley, founder of Ansley Real Estate, best-selling author and fifth-generation Atlantan. "An amphitheater also has concerts throughout the year, and there's the brand-new equestrian facility. It's state-of-the-art, right in town, which is very rare. It's cool because it has all those ideas."
The Chattahoochee River shapes the western side of Sandy Springs ITP, and the surrounding Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area along Interstate North Parkway is a top spot for trout fishing, kayaking and hiking. The area's trails weave along the river and through landmarks like the Chattahoochee Bamboo Forest. Houses of worship surround the park, including Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church on Mount Vernon Highway and Temple Sinai on Dupree Drive.
