    View of the MARTA train deck waiting area.

    This is one of my favorite MARTA stations to come park at. Dunwoody Station is one of the train stops on the Red Line. I usually take the train whenever I'm going somewhere where I know parking may be a challenge or an inconvenience, such as going to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, Fox Theater, anywhere Downtown Atlanta or Midtown. This is the third stop on the Red Line starting in Sandy Springs heading toward Hartsfield Jackson, so, unless there's a huge event somewhere in Atlanta, getting a seat on the train is relatively easy. Dunwoody Station has a large parking garage that's easy to get into and out of. the parking attendants have always been courteous on the way out, and they're generally pretty efficient at getting customers out quickly from the parking garage. This location is accessible from 400 and I285. Dunwoody Station is also a short stroll to Perimeter Mall. Light rail (train) and bus service is available from this location. Short term parking (less than 24 hrs) is free; customers will be charged for anything longer than that. This is one of the cleaner MARTA stations that I've been at. Most of the station is covered; however, even though the waiting are for the train is mostly covered, the deck is high and doesn't protect MARTA users from wind or cold temps except for in a small plexiglass enclosed area. Just about every time I've had to use the ticket vending machine, all of the machines have been functional, as have the entry/exit gates been. Once customers have entered through the gates, bus riders go down a level and train riders go up a level. The only real complaint for this location is that the escalators don't always work, which can be a hassle especially while physically carrying multiple pieces of luggage. There is an elevator, though. The train deck is well lit. I'm glad that MARTA - Dunwoody Station is one of the best and cleanest stations. I happen to live close to this station too, which is very convenient.

    This is the 3rd stop on Marta's Red Line going Southbound (Downtown/airport) It's the 10th stop going Northbound. If you're going to the airport just stay on this train and ride it all the way to the end (approx. 39 minutes with 16 stops) If you're transferring to the Gold Line you can do so at Lindbergh station (11 minutes 3th stop from here) Marta's Red Line stops are of the following: 1. North Springs 2. Sandy Springs 3. Dunwoody (you are here) 4. Medical Center 5. Buckhead 6. Lindbergh Center (joins gold line) ** 7. Arts Center ** 8. Midtown ** 9. North Avenue ** 10. Civic Center ** 11. Peachtree Center ** 12. Five Points ** 13. Garnett ** 14. Westend ** 15. Oakland city ** 16. East point ** 17. College Park ** 18. Airport ** **indicates this stop is on both the red and gold line Here are some helpful general information about Marta Marta is $2.50 per one way trip. $9.00 for a one day pass $14 for 2 days children under 46" ride for free. (limit 2 per one adult) $1.00 for seniors, disabled riders and medicare recipients For more information on fares and Marta stations itsmarta.com/Default.aspx FYI- College Park, Doraville, Lindbergh and North Springs stations are all $8.00 long term parking. Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Kensington, Lenox and Sandy Springs are all $5.00 for long term parking. This is one of the best Marta station in the city. It's clean, efficient and safe. I've used it at 5:30 AM and I've used it at 11:00pm. I've never felt unsafe or uncomfortable here. Parking for under 24 hrs. is always free at any Marta station. It's $5.00 per day (including the first day) at this station. There are over 1,000 spaces available here so you should have no problems finding a free parking spot. This station is for those going to Perimeter mall or the surrounding area. There are lots of food places around the mall which is about a 5 minute walk from here. 1032nd review 12/23/2017

    I stayed at a nearby hotel for the Publix Atlanta Marathon weekend and decided to leave my car and use public transportation. I took the MARTA rail into Downtown Atlanta from this station. This station was kept clean and all of the ticket kiosks and gates were in good working order. It was nice that parking in the structure was free as long as you're parked for under 24 hrs. If you park for at least 24 hrs, it's $5 per day. The gate attendants were always friendly.

    Easy :25 trek downtown to Five Pts central transit station. Nice views en route... Abuts to a high end, very LARGE shopping mall with a good 3 high-end steakhouses within 1/2 mile from there. Also, a Cheesecake Factory in the mall. Dunwoody is close to Porsche office and a good number of business offices and parks. Sandy Springs nearby.

    I love this Marta stations that run above ground. When it's sunny outside it's really depressing going underground with all that grim like concrete gray. But a little natural light and mural that ket this light in really brighten things up!

    This station is my job location. Although it has multiple levels I am able to maneuver through the station pretty quickly. The office buildings surrounding this station has free shuttle service from the Kiss and Ride to your actual building. You don't have to walk or take additional buses. Easy access to Perimeter Mall and other shopping centers around this station. This is the cleanest station that I have been to on Marta and they have a lot of foot traffic so that's really saying something. State Farm is building their headquarters which will be attached to the station.

    Nasty bus during the pandemic.

    This is one of the nicer Marta stations. It is the beginning of the red line, which goes directly…read moreto domestic terminal at the airport. Super convenient and super cheap. Going to the airport is my main use of this station. This is suburban so cleaner than the in town stations. Occasionally use it to go to town, which is good deal as you get free parking for 24 hours. See pics of platform and parking. I usually load multiple trips on my Marta card, as they give you a discount. In any case very reasonable price. Be aware on the train as this is a public area.

    Marta promised reliability and frequent stops. ALL ARE LIES because TALK IS CHEAP…read more Marta is one of the worst transportation systems, period (Europe and other places in the USA have more logistically sound platforms).. Marta just replaced eliminated bases and DID NOT THINK TO TELL PAYING CUSTOMERS. Marta said for months there would be better routes, and that routes would change. There was no communication that they were eliminating buses at the station. This effects how people get to work, it that they care. Me and another customer asked why the bus was LATE, And he said it was because the route changes (so much for more frequent rides/times). Also, the imbecile who is driving the route does not even know how his schedule has changed. And didn't care about the people who were paying to ride his bus (they make you pay via credit card now). The customer service is atrocious, as is the homeless people who ruin the experience. If you are an visitor, DO NOT TRUST MARTA to get you where you need to go (or communicate adequately to assist you).

    I regularly use the Marta Gold line, the cleanest and busiest stations are Lindberg, Lenox,…read moreBrookhaven, Chamblee and, believe it or not, the Doraville station is probably the best kept. So this review is about the Doraville station, then the others and what to expect. The Doraville station bathrooms have been renovated, but you do have to call to be buzzed in, because it would be a fetid shit hole otherwise thanks to the homeless. Gwinette voted down Marta expansion, yet they have taken over the Doraville station. So if you are going to an event intown, you better get there a little early to get a parking space. If full, go to the Chamblee station close by. For FIFA the Doraviile station filled up quick. Arts Center, Midtown, North Avenue and Civic center are ghost towns. Marta should close the North Avenue and Civic Station because no one uses them. South of 5 Points its the ghetto stations, no way am I using Marta in this part of town at night. Recommendations for the best experience: board the front car with the conductor, check your seat and floor before you sit, because you may be stepping or sitting in a piss pool. If you sense danger or just nut case annoying passengers, change cars at the next station. Don't make eye contact and always be alert of your surroundings. That being said Atlanta is big city living, pretty much the same public transportation bullshit as other major cities. Get street wise

    Rating is for Marta overall mainly gold & red line. In leu of Peachtree road race 2025 our family…read morehad the smart idea to park at Marta then ride and walk to the hotel. This cuts out the $50 a day for hotel parking, the Doraville station has surface & parking deck areas, two nights was $16. Lenox station is cheaper FYI. I had only rode Marta one other time before this and it was over 10 years prior, I was mainly traveling solo on Marta this time. For the Doraville station be sure not to park in the front parking as this is NOT overnight and you will be towed. The ticketed parking is just beside with minimal security. Doraville is the gold line that goes into Lenox where the race starts; our stop was Peachtree center. The trick to going from Peachtree back to Lenox is to know that both red & gold run on same track, which I didn't. I got on the train saying North Springs and ended up at Medical Center before realized, rode back to Lindbergh then gold to Lenox. The train itself is minimally occupied unless a big event is going on. It was somewhat clean as meaning no visible trash. There are homeless persons all around the escalators underground and you may get accosted on the platform but just be smart. I put the Breeze mobile app on and bought 3 day pass for $16, my main issue was the QR code picking up on the scanner. Every time I dreaded it because would never scan on first, 2nd, maybe 3rd try if was lucky. Overall IMO, Marta is a deal at $2.50 to go all over the city pretty quickly. It can be a little sketchy at night but just be aware of surroundings.

    This station is on the Gold Line. It's the 2nd stop if you're going southbound (downtown or…read moreairport). It's the 16th stop stop if you're going Northbound (Doraville). If you're going to the airport it's about a 37 min ride on the average. There are close to 1800 parking spaces available here so you shouldn't have any problems finding parking. It's free if it's less than 24 hrs. If its over 24 hrs then its $8 per day-including your first day. If you're going to China Town Square or any of the nearby Asian restaurants then this is your stop. This station is pretty good shape and I've not had any problems with people asking for change or giving me religious literature. Here are some general information about Marta that might be helpful. Marta's Gold Line stops are: 1. Doraville 2. Chamblee 3. Brookhaven 4. Lenox 5. Lindbergh Center (joins the red line) 6. Arts Center ** 7. Midtown ** 8. North Avenue ** 9. Civic Center ** 10. Peachtree Center ** 11. Five Points ** 12. Garnett ** 13. West End ** 14. Oakland City ** 15. Lakewood/Ft. McPherson ** 16. East Point ** 17. College Park ** 18.

    Right about now Chamblee is my favorite Marta station. Why? Because I travel to Doraville every day…read morebut I have the option of using this station to go where I need to without all the foolishness from Doraville Station. Basically I catch an Uber from this station to work. Its hassle free and I swear the passengers that use this location are way different. I don't experience the craziness. This location has more than one entrance though. There is Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Peachtree Road and then there is New Peachtree Road. Use this exit to catch Uber, Lyft or Taxis. This is also the side with Kiss and Ride and also some buses. The Xpress Bus is located onnthe Peachtree Road side. Most people going tobthe Walmart nearby use the Chamblee Dunwoody side. I just like this station eay more than others. The elevator and escalator are almost never out of order. Lots of steps however.
