About Johns Creek

Johns Creek, Atlanta

Johns Creek is a master-planned city in Fulton County that has earned its reputation as one of the Atlanta metro's premier places to live. Originally developed in the 1980s as a series of upscale subdivisions — including the Country Club of the South and St. Ives Country Club — the city was officially incorporated in 2006 to give residents more control over their community's future. What makes Johns Creek exceptional is its balance: top-rated public schools, abundant green space (over 6,000 acres), access to the Chattahoochee River, and a strategic location that puts you 25 miles from downtown Atlanta while maintaining a peaceful, suburban atmosphere. The city's new Medley mixed-use development is creating a walkable downtown core that will add urban amenities to an already exceptional community.
