Thoughtfully designed residential neighborhoods and vast stretches of unspoiled, protected landscapes contribute to an arcadian atmosphere, while the city’s reputation as a growing hub for business and its relatively recent incorporation in 2006 gives Johns Creek a modern edge.
And yet for all of its refreshing newness, Johns Creek is an area steeped in a rich history that dates back centuries to its earliest Native residents, the Cherokee Nation. From the gold rush in the North Georgia foothills to the recent boom in commercial business development, Johns Creek has continued to evolve in surprising ways.

Architecture can vary greatly in Johns Creek, and these contemporary abodes pull inspiration from various styles of the past to create a timeless aesthetic.
Johns Creek boasts a diverse population that ranges from global residents to generational families who were present before the town’s incorporation.

The same center that houses some of Johns Creek’s news retailers and restaurants also houses a Regal Medlock movie theater, along with an XtremeHopp amusement center. Less than a ten-minute drive north along State Bridge Road — which serves as the town’s main commercial artery — Pampas Steakhouse is a standout fine dining establishment that’s a must-try. The Argentinean-style cuisine is award-winning, best enjoyed in the restaurant’s elegant, high-end interior.
A place of discovery, Johns Creek is well-known for its sprawling parks and proximity to both the Sawnee Mountains and Lake Lanier, both less than an hour away.

To stay active, Atlanta Athletic Club has all the amenities you need, including a wellness center, pristinely manicured golf course, tennis courts, and a thriving social atmosphere.
