Our Neighborhood
Our tight-knit, family-friendly subdivision includes a mix of architectural styles and projects a warm, welcoming atmosphere that attracts a range of residents of all ages. An influx of families with young children has generated a renaissance of growth and renovation here. Built in the late 1960s, our neighborhood surrounds a five-acre lake, with winding water-themed streets such as Blackwater Trail, Light House Point, and Seamarsh Court.
Location
What draws and keeps residents here are the close-in location and neighborly camaraderie. Situated off Riverside Drive and Johnson Ferry Road approximately two miles north of I-285 and three miles east of Georgia 400, our 155-home subdivision provides a small town atmosphere close to a major city. Located in the center of Atlanta’s growth district, North Harbor provides quick access to I-285, I-75 and Georgia 400, making the neighborhood easily accessible to downtown Atlanta, the northern arc and anywhere you want to go.
North Harbor is part of the City of Sandy Springs and lies less than two miles from the city’s hub on Roswell Road. The Roswell Road corridor is the backbone of Sandy Springs, abounding in restaurants, grocery stores, nightlife, shopping and other amenities. Our neighborhood is also located just inside the Fulton County/Cobb County border, within easy reach of Cobb County amenities. Scenic Columns Drive is within walking distance and the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is two to three minutes away.
