Alpharetta

Originally a small country farmland community, Alpharetta has boomed
within the last 20 years to become one of Atlanta's up and coming
suburbs. Beckoning to those in search of stately developments with
aristocratic sounding names, such as Foxworth, Thornhill and
Windward. Homes range from elegant subdivisions to homes with
acreage. Home to the extravagant Dean Gardens - a private residence
that incorporated a 32,000 square foot homage to pink, located just
off Old Alabama Road. Crabapple and North Valley are to the West,
close to Wills Park, perfect for those interested in the equestrian
lifestyle. Only those with major connections can make it past the
gate at the Country Club of the South, an Alpharetta planned
community that's home to several sports stars, high profile
executives and celebrities. Visit some of the old stores on Main
Street in the heart of Alpharetta or stop by the Alpharetta Soda
Shoppe for your favorite treat. Alpharetta is a successful blend of
old and new. A haven for singles, families, young or established
professionals wanting a bit of country living with all the amenities
that city dwelling has to offer. Easy accessibility to GA. 400, Northpoint Mall and Gwinnett Mall. The
Atlanta apartment rental homes in this area are modern and very
exquisite. |
