Living in Alpharetta, Roswell and Milton
Three cities that share GA 400 and Fulton County Schools and feel very different: a downtown and a mixed-use district, a mill town on the Chattahoochee, and horse country.
Big Creek Greenway, Alpharetta
Alpharetta
City Center, Avalon and 12 miles of greenway
Alpharetta dates itself to 1858. Downtown centers on Alpharetta City Center, a 26-acre development with City Hall, a Fulton County library branch, restaurants, shops, offices, homes and green space, with the 5-acre Brooke Street Park behind City Hall. The Alpha Loop, a one-mile paved trail, connects downtown to Avalon.
Avalon is an 86-acre mixed-use district with more than 570,000 square feet of retail, a 12-screen theater, a hotel and conference center, offices and homes. The Big Creek Greenway runs about 12 miles of 12-foot-wide concrete path through the woods along Big Creek, parallel to North Point Parkway, and the city has more than 25 parks, among them the 120-acre Wills Park with its equestrian center.
Roswell grew from the Roswell Manufacturing Company, incorporated in 1839 to run a cotton mill powered by Vickery Creek. Union troops took the town in July 1864; the mill building standing today dates from 1882, and the older ruins are in Old Mill Park, where a footbridge crosses the creek to the national recreation area’s trails.
The historic district covers 640 acres, 122 of them on the National Register of Historic Places, with the Heart of Roswell Park at Canton and Alpharetta streets and house museums such as Barrington Hall and Bulloch Hall, where Theodore Roosevelt’s parents married in 1853. Roswell has nine miles of Chattahoochee riverfront: the Riverwalk follows Bull Sluice Lake from Azalea Drive to Willeo Road, and Riverside Park has a canoe and kayak launch.
Milton became a city on December 1, 2006, and has the most room of the three: about 1,073 people per square mile in 2020, against about 2,280 in Roswell and 2,450 in Alpharetta. A 2024 census by the city’s Equestrian Committee counted more than 200 active horse farms.
The city plan divides Milton into eight character areas, Crabapple and Birmingham among them; Crabapple gives its name to the city’s Crabapple Fest. Milton also has the highest Census median home value of the three cities, $789,000.
Three different markets in one school district. Ownership is high everywhere: about 72% of homes in Roswell and Milton and 65% in Alpharetta are lived in by their owners (Census, 2020-2024).

GA 400 is the link to Atlanta: Alpharetta’s visitor bureau puts it 22 miles north of the city, and Roswell’s puts Roswell 20 miles north. The Census puts the average commute at 26.3 minutes in Alpharetta, 26.9 in Roswell and 28.0 in Milton (2020-2024), a few minutes shorter than Johns Creek’s 30.1.
For transit, MARTA bus route 85 runs from North Springs station to the Vickery Creek and Island Ford entrances of the national recreation area in Roswell, according to the Park Service. In Alpharetta, the Alpha Loop and the Big Creek Greenway link downtown, Avalon and the parks on foot or by bike.
