Atlanta is consistently ranked one of the top cities in the U.S. for business and family life, and Alpharetta is one of the hottest markets in Atlanta for both commercial and residential real estate. Excellent schools, shopping, and access to jobs combined with plenty of green space and a down-home country atmosphere have made Alpharetta the premiere location in Atlanta today. We hope you will come to visit or come to stay!

FROM THE NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS to the Chattahoochee River along a Cherokee Indian trail, a tiny village named New Prospect Camp Ground was formed. This village, made up of tents, a log school, and arbor became a trading post where Indians and white settlers exchanged their goods. The surrounding countryside provided excellent farming land, especially for cotton. On December 11, 1858, the town was chartered and became the county seat of Milton County. The town was renamed Alpharetta from the Greek words "alpha" meaning first and "retta" meaning town. In 1932, Milton County was merged into Fulton County.

Today, Alpharetta is a modern, growing community of more than 30,000 residents and a center for employment. Looking around the city, it is not hard to understand why Alpharetta has grown so rapidly in recent years.  If you are going to relocate to Atlanta consider Alpharetta, its wonderful housing coupled with excellent schools, fine recreational amenities and a safe, healthy environment have combined to make Alpharetta's quality of life second to none.

Providing year-round sports, activities and special events, the Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department is nationally accredited and recognized for its outstanding programs for children, adults, and seniors. In addition, the department manages and operates one of the finest equestrian facilities in the southeast at Wills Park. The Greenway system along Big Creek provides a safe and environmentally pleasing pathway to enjoy quiet leisure time.
