Johns Creek is Georgia’s ninth largest city with more than 82,000 residents, located approximately 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. 
 
While only 10 years young, we are proud of the fact that we have been recognized as the safest large city in Georgia, as well as one of the best cities to live in the United States.
 
The schools within our exceptional city are not only among the top 20 in the state, but they are routinely recognized nationally for their academic excellence.
 
And, with more than 300 acres of parks and growing, we offer recreational opportunities for nearly everyone; including world class golf, tennis, swimming, and sports programs for kids and adults of all ages.  
 
Johns Creek is a culturally diverse community with nearly 25 percent of our residents joining us from India, China, South Korea and other nations.  We are also home to many Fortune 100 companies and can provide an ideal location for businesses looking to relocate or expand.
 
From our cultural arts scene, dining, and recreation, to our highly acclaimed medical facilities, and executive-style living, we invite you to come and see why top entertainers, sports figures, senior executives, and businesses from all over the globe choose to call Johns Creek home.

Viewed from a distance, the Chattahoochee River looks like a languid, easy-going river, but its appearance can be dangerously deceptive. When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers releases water from Lake Lanier, the resulting surge of water can cause the river to rise several feet in a short amount of time.

The City of Johns Creek has several traffic improvement projects underway. More information can be found on our Traffic Improvements page.
