A quiet, northern suburb of Atlanta. Excellent schools, weather, parks, and entertainment! Great for families and overall a great place to live in. The downtown scene is filled with local mom/pop restaurants and businesses. The holiday decorations are a sight to see! Overall recommended :)
Alpharetta is a beautiful and safe community located north of Atlanta Georgia. It features great schools, safe communities, friendly people and many things to do! My favorite place to go is the Avalon! It is an outdoor mall with stores like lulu lemon, athleta and urban outfitters + many more AND it features a live band on fridays, multiple restaurants and amazing scenery.
I would not change growing up and living in Alpharetta for anything! Alpharetta is constantly developing and improving. They have added a very trendy downtown area which offers something for everyone: breweries, restaurants, shopping, and childrens' areas. Its a perfect place for a nice afternoon with the family or a date night with your significant other.
The schools in the area are some of the best in the state. I say this based on my own education k-12 in the local schools: Crabapple Crossing, Northwestern, and Milton.
Unfortunately, Alpharetta is not very diverse. I would like to see it improve its affordability and access to public transportation to make it available for all classes of people. I would say this is the one downside.
With a little bit more social progression, Alpharetta really can be a place for everyone!
