Dunwoody

A beautiful residential community with modern amenities

 

Welcome to Dunwoody


Combining big-city amenities with tranquil, suburban living

From its sleek, modern skyscrapers to its quiet residential neighborhoods, Dunwoody is a dynamic city in the heart of Northern Georgia. Ideally located in DeKalb County, Dunwoody is just 10 miles north of Atlanta, making it an ideal city for commuters, especially those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Atlanta's downtown core. This striking city is known for its classic residential areas, ample yards, and mature landscaping. If you are searching for a more established suburban community in Atlanta, Dunwoody is the right place for you.
 


What to Expect


Country clubs to the north, high-rise business center at the southern edge, and a quaint village crossing in the middle.

The massive sprawl of Atlanta has incited intense community spirit within each individual neighborhood as residents come together to carve out their local niche. Dunwoody excels at such efforts, most notably supporting the active preservation of the historic farmhouse properties at its center.
 


The Lifestyle

 

With a rich history dating back to the Civil War Era, Dunwoody has long been an established community within the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. Yet, the city wasn't incorporated until 2008, making it one of Georgia's newer cities. This striking blend of old and new gives Dunwoody a unique identity. What was once a hidden gem within the area has become one of the area's most desirable places to live, with real estate selling at a premium and houses selling in a matter of days. Dunwoody has everything you could ever want in a Georgia city: close-knit communities, beautiful parks, and luxury amenities. With everything it offers, Dunwoody sets the standard of suburban living.
 


Unexpected Appeal

 

Like nearby Brookhaven, Dunwoody has a direct line onto the MARTA rail service, making it ideal for those who regularly commute to Downtown Atlanta or the Atlanta Airport. Even though Dunwoody is 25 minutes away by car, MARTA's rail system provides commuters with an easy, straightforward commute that's just as fast — or even faster — than driving. If you want a more suburban lifestyle yet rely on public transit, Dunwoody is a great option.
 

The Market


A burgeoning city combining historic charm and modern luxury 

Since its incorporation in 2008, Dunwoody has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. As a result, the need for quality homes has never been higher. Dunwoody is very much in a seller's market, where the demand for homes has outpaced the supply. Fortunately, prospective buyers have many different housing options, from glamourous high-rise buildings to sprawling estates and everything in between. Whether you're searching for traditional or modern, you are bound to find it in Dunwoody.
