Williamsburg-style architecture originated with the construction of the Dunwoody Village shopping center in the 1970s and has been adopted as the architecture standard for businesses in the area. Dunwoody Village is considered by most to be the heart of the city and is the location of the Dunwoody Farmhouse. It is also home to a variety of businesses including Fresh Market, David’s Flowers, Dunwoody Prep and one of my personal favorites, Perfect Health Pilates! Across the street, dine at The Dunwoody Tavern and see top musical talent at Mudcatz Bayou Bar & Grill….and don’t forget Mellow Mushroom!
Can you say “shopping”? Oh yes, there is shopping galore! Perimeter Mall is home to over 200 stores with four anchor stores: Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom and Dilliard’s.

Two other shopping areas are close by.
