Dunwoody Panhandle
Suburban Neighborhood in Sandy Springs, Georgia
Fulton County 30350
Million-dollar homes on or near the Chattahoochee River
Winding neighborhood streets give way to spacious, well-maintained yards with tall trees scattered throughout. The home inventory includes everything from Colonial Revivals and split-levels to Cape Cods and condos. Some of the higher-priced properties feature amenities such as guest cottages, pools and river views. “It’s a great area for people who love the outdoors and want a little more land,” says Richard Beeman, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who has been selling homes in the area for 20 years. “You can get lots on two-plus acres out there. The Chattahoochee River and the recreational areas are big draws.”Condos can range from the low $200,000s to $300,000, while single-family homes typically run from $800,000 to $1.25 million. “There are a couple of factors that determine how fast properties move. First is the condition and how updated the property is because these homes tend to be larger, and it is a lot of house to renovate if they are needed. Secondly, the yard is important because some lots slope off in the back, leaving you with no yard. These homes take longer to sell,” Provow says.
Dunwoody Panhandle has an overall crime score of 2 out of 10, according to the CAP Index Crime Score, significantly lower than the national average of 4.

Locals can float the “Hooch” at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
Dunwoody Panhandle is home to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area - Island Ford, a popular spot for kayaking and fishing. The park on Roberts Drive features 3 miles of hiking trails that curve along the river. It’s also the site of Hewlett Lodge, the former summer home of Georgia Superior Court Justice Samuel Hewlett, which is now the visitor’s center at the park.Many residents in the panhandle are members of the Dunwoody Country Club, a social and family-oriented club on Dunwoody Club Drive. The club, which can only be joined by invitation, offers an 18-hole championship golf course, a swimming pool and a tennis facility.

Fulton County Public Schools and private school options
Dunwoody Panhandle is served by Fulton County Schools, which scores an A-minus on Niche and is the fourth-largest school system in Georgia. Students head to Dunwoody Springs Elementary, Sandy Springs Middle and North Springs High School. The schools score B, B-plus and A Niche grades, respectively. North Springs is Georgia’s only dual magnet school offering programs in math and sciences and visual and performing arts. Famous alumni include musicians Gunna, Playboi Carti and Usher. "Parents like to send their kids to private school. Not because there is anything wrong with the public schools, but they have the means to send their children to private schools," Provow says. Many nearby options exist, including The Davis Academy, the largest Reform Jewish Day School in the country.
