Highpoint, located between Roswell Road and Lake Forrest Drive, is a residential and wooded Sandy Springs neighborhood with rolling hills and mid-century ranch streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Roswell Road corridor near the Abernathy Road intersection, where patios, coffee counters, and chef-driven dining set a steady, after-work hum. Community touchstones include The Select, Under the Cork Tree, and Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center at City Springs. Homes range from brick ranches to newer rebuilds, often set back behind mature trees. Pocket parks and creekside greenspace shape a quiet, outdoors-forward rhythm. Errands and evenings tend to orbit City Springs and the Roswell Road restaurant row.
