Neely Farm is an expansive community of rolling hills and gorgeous landscapes that borders the Chattahoochee River. It was originally the country retreat for Frank Neely, a prominent Atlanta civic leader and an executive at Rich’s Department Store. It functioned as a 410-acre dairy farm until the early 1970s. Today it stands transformed from its original pastoral splendor into a beautiful residential community. The old Neely family home, built in the 1930s, is now used as a charming clubhouse where neighbors meet for celebrations. It’s conveniently located just next door to Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.

Neely Farm features a large variety of custom home styles. In 1989, the neighborhood became well known when it was featured in the annual “Street of Dreams” showcasing the latest home designs. Homes often contain large, open rooms, and upscale materials such as hardwood floors, natural stone countertops, white kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and impressive custom molding and woodwork. The luxurious ensuites, high ceilings, home theaters, and exercise rooms found in many houses give them an estate-like feel. Bedrooms on the main floor and secondary, back staircases are common features there.

Community amenities include six lighted tennis courts, a junior Olympic pool that’s home to the neighborhood swim team, a kiddie pool, playground, basketball court, and a 20+ acre private park on the Chattahoochee River. The club has active ALTA and USTA tennis teams.
