Dunwoody is the kind of suburb that gets quietly handed down between generations. The streets are leafy and curvy, the Dunwoody Village shopping core has been refreshed into a true walkable heart, and the Perimeter business district is five minutes away. It's a place where you can walk to a coffee shop, hop on MARTA, and still come home to an established neighborhood of brick traditionals and tall trees.
