How is the commute from Sandy Springs to Atlanta?

The drive from Sandy Springs into Atlanta runs mainly along GA-400 and I-285, and traffic on those two highways during rush hour affects timing far more than the actual mileage involved. Most of Sandy Springs itself is compact enough that the local portion of the trip, before you hit the highway, rarely adds much time. Ask Joel about realistic commute expectations tied to a specific Sandy Springs address rather than a generic citywide figure.
