Dunwoody is a family-oriented DeKalb County city that blends a walkable historic village, the Perimeter job hub, and a deep bench of established swim/tennis neighborhoods. Here's an honest guide to its best areas — and who each one suits.

Quick answer

For walkability and character, Dunwoody Village and Georgetown lead. For established, amenity-rich family living, the swim/tennis neighborhoods — The Branches, Kingsley, Redfield, and Dunwoody North — are favorites, while Dunwoody Club Forest is the upscale, wooded move-up pick. For low-maintenance, transit-friendly living, Perimeter Center offers condos and apartments near MARTA. The right one comes down to walkability vs. space and whether you want a club-and-pool community.

Walkable & central

  • Dunwoody Village — the historic heart of the city, with its Williamsburg-style architecture, the Dunwoody Farmhouse, and a walkable shopping-and-dining core. Best for buyers who want established character and a true town center.
  • Georgetown — an early-1960s community near I-285 that's among the most walkable in the city, mixing single-family homes with its own retail district. Best for walkability and easy commuting access.

Established swim/tennis family neighborhoods

  • The Branches — a classic swim/tennis community anchored by The Branches Club, with a tight-knit family atmosphere.
  • Kingsley — centered on the Kingsley Racquet & Swim Club, with a strong community and club culture.
  • Redfield — a traditional swim/tennis subdivision with a friendly, family-oriented identity and good value.
  • Dunwoody North — a large, long-standing community with an active civic association and the Dunwoody North Driving Club as a social anchor.

These are the heart of Dunwoody's family appeal — amenity-driven, settled, and close to well-regarded schools.

Upscale & low-maintenance options

  • Dunwoody Club Forest — wooded, upscale single-family homes on larger lots; a quieter, premium move-up setting.
  • Perimeter Center — not a traditional subdivision but the city's urban core around Perimeter Mall, with condos and apartments and direct MARTA rail access. Best for low-maintenance, transit-friendly living.
