About Dunwoody, Georgia
Dunwoody is one of the wealthiest and most prestigious areas within metro Atlanta, with many elegant homes, highly-ranked schools, and abundant shopping and entertainment.
Dunwoody is generally considered to be the northern tip of the county, bounded by the Fulton County line on the north and west, I-285 on the south, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard on the southeast, and Gwinnett County on the northeast. Officially, the CDP extends only to the county line in the north; however, some residents consider the panhandle of Sandy Springs as part of the community.
Perimeter Mall and most of the Perimeter Center area of shopping and office buildings (including several high-rises) are both located here. The western part of Perimeter Center area spans the Fulton county line into Sandy Springs. Elsewhere is the well-known Dunwoody Country Club. The tallest building in Dunwoody is the 34-story, 444-foot Ravinia 3.
Perimeter Center is served by the Dunwoody train station on MARTA's north line. |
