The Sandy Springs MARTA station is in a semi-suburban area on the red rail line (view map). Things to love: above the station is a shopping center with a movie theater, restaurants and retail stores. Plus, office buildings in the Perimeter Center are nearby and there is free daily parking and paid overnight parking for only $5 per day as of June 2022.
In general, it’s a great station for job commuting, parking, housing, shopping and going to the movies. The only drawback is that is a very car-centric area, so use caution when walking.
Tip: To reach the station on MARTA, board a northbound train marked “North Springs”. If traveling in the evening., take a gold line train to the Lindbergh Center station and wait for the North Springs train there.
