Alpharetta Real Estate Information

The city of Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta, offers a unique balance between big city living and small town charm. Alpharetta offers residents the amenities, cultural activities, dining, shopping, convenience and job opportunities found in big cities while maintaining much of the small town charm that big cities usually lose with continued growth in size and population. Because of this, Alpharetta is one of the premier cities that make up Metro Atlanta. The city of Alpharetta also maintains a number of parks and recreation facilities and has been recognized as Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. This is a distinction that indicates the commitment Alpharetta places on environmental concerns at the government level.

Real estate in Alpharetta continues to be highly sought after for many reasons:

• The public schools in Alpharetta are among the best in the state - Excellent public schools contribute to a healthy real estate market because parents do not need to pay high tuitions associated with private schools to provide a superior education.
• Lower taxes - Compared with the city of Atlanta, property taxes are significantly lower.
• Excellent job market – The economy of Alpharetta is strong and the major employment center off of Windward Parkway continues to grow.
• Value - Compared to other areas of Atlanta, such as Sandy Springs and Dunwoody, you can by a bigger home in better school districts.

Alpharetta continues to grow and adding to the metropolitan cultural activities, three exciting new destinations are scheduled to begin to open beginning in the summer of 2008. Encore Park, which will be a state of the art amphitheater and arts center located off of Westside Parkway is an exciting new venue that will be host to concerts from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to popular national musical acts. The Alpharetta City Center, which is a complete redevelopment plan for the downtown district in the heart of the city will bring the live, work, play philosophy to Alpharetta and is located within walking distance of the largest park in Alpharetta, Wills Park. Finally, the brand new Prospect Park will combine the high end, affluent lifestyle usually found only in large metropolitan cities to Alpharetta in a mixed use lifestyle environment with elegant, hotel affiliated Stanbury condominiums, townhome residences, retail shops and mid-rise office space. These developments are designed to be destination centers and will further ground Alpharetta as the place to live in Atlanta.

The effects of these developments will have a definite positive influence on the value of Alpharetta real estate. In fact, Alpharetta real estate is one of the areas in Atlanta that has remained strong during the recent slowdown in real estate. If you are considering a move to the Atlanta area, I invite you to consider the city of Alpharetta as a possible option for your new home.
