Why Live in Alpharetta
If there's a "best places to live," "best places to raise a family," or "best community" list somewhere, there's every likelihood Alpharetta is on that list, if not topping the list itself, as the suburban city so often does. Year after year, respected national platforms like Newsweek, Southern Living and Travel and Leisure, call Alpharetta one of the most desirable places to live in Georgia and the nation. Alpharetta has all the markings of community affluence — a vibrant, walkable downtown, upscale homes, country clubs, sought-after schools and trendy restaurants. "It's wholesome and comfortable here," says Robin Andrade, a veteran Atlanta real estate broker and owner of Sell Atlanta Real Estate. "Alpharetta is the ultimate destination if you have the money and want a good life for you and your kids. If you're looking for a quiet and safe place, if you want a mini-mansion, Alpharetta is it."
Deliberately in its bubble, the city of 67,000 residents is at the very edge of the metropolitan area about 30 miles north of Atlanta. “Alpharetta is far,” Andrade says. "It seems a bit too far for most people I get calls from; they are kind of isolated. People move here for the isolation."
