Working remotely from Sandy Springs — my experience
I've been working remotely from Sandy Springs for 11 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Decent, getting better with new providers
Coworking spaces: A few good ones downtown
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Sandy Springs is worth considering.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.

Rent tip: look for places in October-November. Prices drop and there's more availability.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Riverside. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Riverside and Highland Park are perfectly safe.

Don't sleep on Cedar Hills. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Coming from Phoenix, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are about the same.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

I work in retail and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 4 months.
