Community Snapshots

But Sandy Springs exists solely because those of us who call this beautiful place home wanted to have more control over how we shape our future.

We are a diverse community, rich with opportunity. We are a city born of vision and innovation.

In Sandy Springs, essential public servants—teachers, firefighters, and first responders—are being priced out of the very community they serve. With housing costs requiring more than 30% of their salaries, many are forced to live elsewhere, commuting long distances to support our schools, protect our homes, and keep our city running. Ensuring they can afford to live here isn’t just about housing—it’s about investing in a stable, connected, and thriving community for all.

We all want safe communities, but we won’t make our communities safer by displacing the people who already live here.

Sandy Springs is an affluent city and growing metro area facing the challenges of the rising cost of land, home ownership, and rent that continues to outpace income levels.

With a population of more than 100,000, Sandy Springs is one of the most expensive housing markets in the metro region.

It's tough to impossible for those who teach our children or serve and protect all of us to live in our community. The fact is that living in Sandy Springs is much more expensive than the rest of the metro region.
