Chattahoochee Hills is characterized by the rolling hills typical of the Georgia Piedmont. The terrain gently undulates, creating scenic valleys cut by streams and creeks that ultimately drain into the Chattahoochee River.
Elevations in the city range generally between 700 and 900 feet above sea level. The topography features gentle ridges, wide floodplains near the river, and forested hillsides, making it highly desirable for equestrian trails, hiking, and agriculture.
