The Chattahoochee River offers some of the most gorgeous natural scenery in the Atlanta area, which is why riverside homes are in such high demand. While much of the river itself is bounded by parks and walking trails along the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, there are a few prime locations with fantastic views north of Atlanta. If you’re looking for the perfect home for sale alongside the Chattahoochee River, here are some communities where you should focus your search.
Sandy Springs
One of Atlanta’s most popular northern suburbs, Sandy Springs is a vibrant community of about 100,000 people, featuring some of the finest real estate north of the Perimeter. While the southeast corner of town is a major commercial area dominated by the Perimeter Center, there are some beautiful rural areas in the Riverside district along the Chattahoochee River, which serves as the town’s northwest border. When homes with river views come up for sale in this area, they generally aren’t on the market for long, so act quickly when one becomes available.
Roswell
A short drive north and west of Sandy Springs brings you to Roswell, a suburban city of around 95,000. Apart from its historic downtown and numerous parks, the Chattahoochee River forms this city’s southern border, with the occasional home for sale with either a riverside view or within walking distance of the river. Keep a sharp eye out for homes in this area.
Vinings
For a quieter, small-town feel near the river, be sure to check out the unincorporated community of Vinings, located just northwest of Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River. This small but popular community of 9,500 people offers some of the most gorgeous real estate available in the area, convenient to downtown Atlanta yet seemingly worlds away. Homes along the river are understandably in high demand, but be sure to check out some of the lakeside homes, as well.
Of course, the key to locating these homes when they come available is to work with a seasoned agent who knows the area and can help you find the best deals.
