Best things about Sandy Springs that nobody talks about
As a 3-year resident, here are some things about Sandy Springs that don't make it into the guides:
1. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is incredible
2. Several hidden gem restaurants that rival big city food
3. The local craft beer scene is legit
It's not for everyone but it's perfect for us.

Check out the Oakwood area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.
