Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

  Dunwoody Georgia is a small suburb outside of Atlanta Georgia. It is 14 miles North of Atlana and 2 miles east of Sandy Springs. The population of Dunwoody is 32,808. Dunwoody has yet to vote on if they will become their own city yet. It is suppose to do that this year. With that said, Dunwoody is home to some famous people such as P Diddy. Superstars like P Diddy can be found all over the metro Atlanta area because of the large airport, the many different sports teams, the massive amounts of malls and shopping centers, the huge amount of arts and musical venues, and the great restaurants in the area.

 

 

 

  Dunwoody's Parks and Recreation has a vast amount of programs for youth and adult alike. Camp Woodmont on top of Lookout Mountain is a fun place for the kids ages 6-14 to go for summer camp. Even though this is not actually in Dunwoody Georgia itself, it is still a great attraction for families moving to the area. Camp Woodmont is almost in the upper left hand corner of Georgia where the three states almost intersect: Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. It sits on the top of Lookout Mountain. From the top of Lookout Mountain, you can see seven states. There are also many other attractions there to take in.

 

 Now that we have wandered off the beaten path, it is time to get back to our fair Community of Dunwoody Georgia. Dunwoody also is home to the Dunwoody Nature Center that was established in 1990 by volunteers as a non-profit group to develop, improve, and preserve 22 acres of Dekalb County's Dunwoody Park as a natural classroom for environmental education. They are also currently building a treehouse on the preserve.

 Dunwoody also offers some great schools from the toddler age right into adulthood. You can obtain a complete education and never have to leave the city. Also, they have many places of worship in Dunwoody. From the small to the larger, there is some place for all to worship how you may. And most are conveniently place amongst the city so that if you wanted to, you would be able to walk. The city also has a lot of sidewalks that make walking even safer.

 As for shopping, Dunwoody sports one of the largest malls in the greater Atlanta area: Perimeter Mall. This mall has 200 specialty shops and is anchored by Bloomingdale's, Dillard’s, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. And, while you are shopping, you can eat in their massive food court or if you would rather have the sit down and dine with service experience, there are 6 signature restaurants in the mall. You can choose from Garrison's Broiler & Tap, Goldfish, Maggiano's Little Italy, Seasons 52, The Cheesecake Factory, or Wildfire, whichever suites your needs for the occasion. All 6 of these dining experiences will leave you stuffed.

 

 Dunwoody offers a variety of companies to work for in the area if traveling into the city of Atlanta for employment is not what you are looking for. The Dunwoody Georgia Business Directory is the best source of the many different companies that are in the area. If looking to buy, then look no further than our very own Nancy Rivera of Re/Max Leading Edge. Put her to work for you today and you will be buying your next home tomorrow and be on your way to settling in before summer.

Now, I hope that you enjoyed your little tour of this fair little community. But, before we go, you also have to know about one of the best theaters in all of the Greater Atlanta Areas. It is called Perimeter Pointe Stadium 10 and it has the best seating in town.
