Another list. According to Money Magazine Sandy Springs ranks #4 in the nation of places where the rich and single choose to call home. No surprise California towns dominate the list, Newport Beach, CA comes in at #1.

That doesn't surprise me. Sandy Springs has a great quality of life and is centrally located to much of the best that Atlanta has to offer

If I am rich and single the last place on Earth I would live is Sandy Springs.

Well, I think "the last place on Earth" is maybe putting it a bit strongly, but I'm kinda with you, wreck.

Kind of surprising - the area has always seemed fairly family-oriented to me. If I were rich and single in Atlanta, I'd want to live in midtown. As it is, I'm middle-class and single and still want to live in midtown.

Ditto. If I were rich I'd move to some warm place that's well-off but doesn't beat me over the head with 24-7 political corporate conservatism.

But that would be too much like paradise, unfortunately.

I would move to New Zealand first before I'd move to any one of those places.

Sandy Springs is much hipper than most people who don't hang out there realize. It's still got plenty of flash but it's mature enough that people don't feel like they need to impress anyone. That's probalby a major reason it appeals so strongly to the young and uber-successful crowd.

I'm sure there aren't many rich single people in Sandy Springs, just rich families that jack up the income and a high density of singles around the Perimeter Center sliver where there's actually something besides miles of McMansions. Just another reason soft news lists are totally useless to everyone except the ones who are paid to make them

Edit: I'd never call Sandy Springs hip but the lame comment was pretty ignorant. It's like 10 minutes from Buckhead, it's not like it's Acworth or something. Maybe the rich ones are lame or maybe they just don't want to pay $1500/month to live somewhere that's a 10-minute drive or 2 MARTA stops away.
