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!

In the name of progress, Alpharetta has set about tearing down all the old buildings. Unlike Roswell that still retains some of it’s character, Alpharetta has set to making high-rise apartments and town homes that risk to take away the skyline. There is a genuine risk of the city eventually being overcrowded, as there will be no one to afford the high prices of the town homes. Shopping centers like Avalon populate, one is enough, but they will make several with stores with very high prices. The homeless population is growing and the Marta will eventually connect them to the area. It’s a traffic disaster. All in the name of “progress” thanks city council!
This city is the crown of the south! Alpharetta is full of life, especially in its exciting downtown. Alpharetta's downtown is filled with throngs of eclectic restaurants that each have their own distinct vibe, and the amazing "Avalon". What makes Alpharetta all the better is the sense of community that has been established in this vast, yet homey, suburban paradise. The community of Alpharetta is host to dozens of community events that celebrate; art, food, wildlife, and most importantly each other. Alpharetta is filled with love and is truly an excellent place to call home.
