Johns Creek, Georgia The City of Johns Creek lies along the banks of the historic Chattahoochee River in the Piedmont (Lat. "foot of mountains") plain of the Appalachian Mountains.
Home to an estimated population of 70,050, the city is located just 30 miles north of Atlanta and shares a Metro Atlanta population of approximately 5.2 million, the fastest growing metropolitan region in the US.
Close enough to Atlanta to take advantage of its vibrant culture and economic growth ? yet far enough away to experience a quieter lifestyle - Johns Creek residents enjoy the best of both worlds in a mild, seasonal climate. At 1,050 feet above sea-level, Metro Atlanta has an average annual temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit.
A sizable amount of the white collar, professional population that immigrated to Metro Atlanta in the 80s and 90s for its low cost of living and high employment base settled in the Johns Creek community because of its strong public schools. Recognizing the importance of education, Johns Creek parents poured sweat equity and donations back into the schools, making them the strongest in the state.
Not surprisingly, innovative businesses soon followed to be near their employee base. Several Fortune 500 companies located in the master-planned Technology Park/Johns Creek, helping both the 1,900 acre mixed-use development and the unincorporated community surrounding it to grow.
The unincorporated community coalesced into a municipality when it was incorporated as the City of Johns Creek on December 1, 2006, following state legislation and a voter referendum.
Today, Johns Creek is the 10th largest city in Georgia with a median family income of $150,592, strong schools and an inviting, relaxed lifestyle for people of all ages.
About 20 miles northeast of Johns Creek is Lake Lanier, one of Georgia's most popular recreational spots, with 692 miles of shoreline and marinas for boating, fishing, skiing and canoeing. Events of the 1996 Summer Olympics were held at the Lake and its annual 6-mile Holiday Light show is one of the world's largest.
