NORTH FULTON COUNTY, your new home.
WELCOME HOME!
At more than 534 square miles, Fulton County is one of the largest counties in Georgia; it is more
than 70 miles from end to end. As the home of Atlanta and many other municipalities, Fulton is also
the most populous county in the state, with close to one million residents. Because the county is so
large, it has evolved into three distinct areas and identities: South Fulton, the City of Atlanta, and
the communities of North Fulton. It is a place rich in history, culture and entertainment, a leader in
business and education and a great place for people of all ages to call home.
The history of Fulton County spans more than 160 years. North Fulton was inhabited primarily by
Cherokee and Creek Indians, who referred to the area as the “enchanted lands” before the land
was ceded to the state in the early 1820s. The population soon began to grow, as people from the
nearby states began to settle in the area. Many were of English, Scottish and Irish heritage. In 1853,
the western half of DeKalb County was renamed Fulton County. Debate continues over whether the
county was named after Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat, or Hamilton Fulton, a surveyor
for the local Western and Atlantic Railroad. The county grew even more in 1932 when it absorbed
neighboring Campbell and Milton counties as a way to save those counties from bankruptcy during the
Great Depression.
Like many parts of Georgia, Fulton County played an important role in the Civil War, as part of Gen.
Sherman’s route from Chattanooga to Atlanta. The North Fulton city of Roswell had a cotton mill—the
hub of the area’s antebellum economy—that was burned by Union troops in 1864. Despite the ravages
of war, Roswell still boasts more historical pre-Civil War buildings than anywhere else in north Georgia.
Barrington Hall and Bulloch Hall have both been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since
the early 1970s.
After the war ended, the entire area began to rebuild, and industry replaced farming as the primary
economic engine. The City of Atlanta is now home to many Fortune 500 companies, including Coca-
Cola, Delta Air Lines and Turner Broadcasting System. In North Fulton, the recent incorporations of
Johns Creek and Sandy Springs have helped forge a new identity for that part of the county. Since the
middle of the 20th century, North Fulton has been building a reputation for being a business-friendly
and tech-savvy community. Sandy Springs has been the headquarters for UPS since the early 1990s and
the office parks of Alpharetta and Johns Creek house many up-and-coming technology firms.

For many people who are relocating to the area, health care is a big
concern, particularly for baby boomers who are retired or thinking
about retirement. According to realtor.org, the number of Americans
nationwide 65 or older will nearly double between now and 2030, and
the share of the population that is 85 and older will increase by 52
percent. Fortunately, North Fulton is home many of the metro area’s
top-notch hospitals, including the Scottish Rite campus of Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta, Northside Hospital and Emory St. Joseph’s
Hospital.
No matter their age, North Fulton residents know how to have fun, and
the area’s many entertainment venues draw visitors from all over metro
Atlanta. World-class performing arts venues like the Verizon Wireless
Amphitheatre at Encore Park provide access to some of the region’s best
musical performances.

Fulton County boasts a temperate climate, with hot summers and cool—
but not too cold—winters. Dogwoods, Bradford pears and azaleas burst
into bloom in the spring and stay lush and green throughout the summer
months. Autumn in the area is marked by bright oranges and reds in
the trees.
Only in North Fulton
In addition to these venues, North Fulton has some unique geographical
features that make it stand out from other parts of the metro area.
Residents can run or bike along dozens of trails and parks in the county.
In the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, there are 48
unspoiled miles of waterway available for rafting, canoeing, kayaking or
riding in a motor boat. Wildlife such as blue herons make their homes
along the river banks, providing perfect opportunities for bird watching,
and fishermen enjoy casting their lines in the hope that trout, bass and
catfish will bite.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the population of North Fulton exploded, as
more and more people left the city for the suburbs, and it has been
steadily growing ever since. Now with a population of nearly 350,000,
the communities of North Fulton wield considerable influence in the
metro area. They are known throughout the metro area as home to
great schools and a high quality of life. Many North Fulton residents
have college degrees or higher, which helps to drive up the median
household income to about $90,000, compared to about $50,000 for
the county as a whole.
Education is a priority in North Fulton. Of the 106 schools and learning
centers run by the Fulton County school system, more than 60 of them
are located in North Fulton. These public schools consistently rank high
in both state and national statistics on everything from AP test scores to
scholarship money earned. Students who want to stay local have plenty
of options when it comes to institutes of higher learning, with satellite
campuses for schools like Georgia State University, Georgia Perimeter
College and Gwinnett Technical College scattered throughout the county.
Although only about 20 miles from downtown Atlanta, the communities
of North Fulton have a vibe all their own. The area’s five incorporated
cities—Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell and Sandy Springs—
strike a solid balance between honoring and preserving their history
and welcoming innovation and change. Many of North Fulton’s
municipalities, including Roswell, have old-fashioned town squares that
host a variety of concerts, parades, festivals, farmers markets and other
events throughout the year.
In addition to their small-town sensibilities, many of North Fulton’s cities
have been recognized for their efforts in everything from keeping residents
healthy to operating strong family businesses. When it comes to quality of
life, the communities of North Fulton come out on top. Niche.com named
Johns Creek as the second 2017 Best Suburbs to Live in Atlanta Metro
followed by Alpharetta as third, Roswell as fifth and Milton as sixth.. Since
2003, the North Fulton Community Improvement District, which includes
the cities of Alpharetta, Roswell and Milton, has invested more than $16
million in the community providing, for example, pedestrian access along
major roads.

Like many other parts of the Atlanta area, North Fulton County has
myriad restaurants to satisfy every type of craving, with outposts of
nearly every major chain restaurant as well as unique local fare. Diners
can enjoy everything from classic Southern cooking at downtown
Roswell Greenwood’s Restaurant to sophisticated European fare at
Cibo e Beve. The burgeoning immigrant population in North Fulton
means that cuisine from every corner of the world is also easy to find.
While the Atlanta housing market took a hit during the recent economic
downturn, the suburban real estate market has bounced back to healthy
levels in the past year. Housing options in North Fulton run the gamut
from newly constructed single-family homes to condos in historic areas
and apartments near the local colleges and universities. Prices are
historically lower here than within the Atlanta city limits, so buyers can
get more for their money.
Business, culture, education, green space, town squares, easy access to
the city of Atlanta—North Fulton County truly has it all. Residents enjoy
a high quality of life and make the most of the area’s geography, history,
and recreational opportunities. As a place that is both in touch with its
history and looking forward to the future, North Fulton has much to
offer families, young professionals and retirees alike.

Getting
Around
The communities of North Fulton are easily accessible via Interstate 285
and Georgia 400, which means commuters can easily travel to and from
downtown Atlanta, as well as to some of the other outlying counties. As
of November 2013, drivers on Georgia 400 no longer have to pay a toll,
making it a quick and easy way to get from Buckhead to North Fulton.
The Perimeter area has quickly become one of the area’s busiest business
hubs, making it easy for commuters all over the area to get to work. In
addition to its road systems, the county also has two other unique
transportation options for residents.
MARTA
(Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority)
While most of MARTA’s stops are within the boundaries of the city of
Atlanta, North Fulton also benefits from this bus and rail system. The
Medical Center, Sandy Springs and North Springs rail stations help
commuters access some of the largest businesses in the area, like
Perimeter Mall and Northside Hospital.
GRTA
(Georgia Regional Transportation Authority)
GRTA was formed by former Gov. Roy Barnes to help address crosscommunity
transportation issues. The authority now operates 13
different Xpress bus routes that service 12 of the metro area’s counties.
These routes accommodate more than 2 million passenger trips each
year and provide access to some of the area’s major employment centers.

Making the Choice:
Atlanta’s Thriving Retirement Communities
By Helen K. Kelley
Planning for your retirement can be an exciting time. You want to live
well and enjoy the benefits of all for which you’ve worked so hard, but
making choices about how and where you’ll spend your retirement
years can be a bit daunting.
If you go online and do a Google search for “retirement living,”
you’ll be hit with a barrage of information and options — including
55+ apartment homes, independent living residences, facilities that
specialize in assisted living or memory care, communities that offer
independent living along with a continuum of healthcare and more.
How do you navigate your way through all of the data and websites to
find the solution that’s right for you or your family member?
Do your homework first
You may want to consider making a checklist that includes criteria
that are important to you before evaluating different retirement living
communities. The list might include questions like:
• What types of activities and amenities are available onsite?
• Is the location convenient to people and things that are important to
me, such as family and friends, church, doctors, banks, shopping and
transportation?
• Are residences available in different sizes and floor plans? Can I
customize my living space?
• Are my pets welcome?
• Will I have access to healthcare if I need it later?
• Can I afford it?
Once you define the life aspects that matter most to you and prioritize
them, you’ll have a better idea of the retirement lifestyle and type of
community that suit you.
can. Make sure that your or your family member’s needs are going to
be met.”
Atlanta’s “active aging” population
drives the market
Today’s boomers are retiring in record numbers and many are challenging
a number of popular stereotypes about retirement and aging. For
instance, according to the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related
Statistics, the percentage of active seniors has continuously increased
since 1998, and many are seeing the benefits of their activity. A recent
report published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found
that adults who lead an active lifestyle live up to 5.5 years longer than
those who don’t.
The desire to be more active as they age is also driving many changes
in what boomers demand from retirement communities and the menu
of amenities that those communities offer. In response, metro Atlanta is
home to a virtual explosion or retirement communities that cater to the
desires of this active aging population.
Trending in Georgia’s retirement communities
Ginny Helms, President and CEO of LeadingAge Georgia, a statewide
association serving more than 170 not-for-profit and other missiondriven
organizations that provide housing and services to seniors, says
she has noticed changing trends in how people go about selecting a
retirement community.
“In the past, people were judging by appearances, like how nicely the
lobby was furnished, as an indicator of what the community was like,”
she said. “Today, they’re looking at whether their lives will have purpose
and meaning in a community that feels homelike and has the amenities
they desire.”
Helms says that the people who are the actual decision-makers fall into
two basic groups.
“We’re seeing that people who choose our life plan communities —
communities that offer active independent living with a continuum of
care — are planners who are accustomed to having a good quality of
life. In retirement, they want the same thing,” she explained. “But when
it comes to assisted living, the choice of community is more likely to be
made by a spouse or adult child on behalf of their family member who
needs oversight due to health issues or memory loss.”
Helms adds a word of caution to those who are considering an assisted
living community for themselves or a loved one.
“Many times, these decisions are made in a time of crisis,” she said.
“So go out and do some looking and questioning ahead of time if you
Choice, collaboration and partnerships
St. George Village, a life plan community located in Roswell, offers
a wide range of choices that allow residents to customize their
retirement lifestyle in ways that are the most meaningful and enjoyable
to them. In response to the demand for an energetic, active lifestyle,
the community offers a choice of intellectually stimulating and social
opportunities, from technology classes and bridge groups to discussions
of world affairs and book clubs, along with a fitness center, indoor pool,
scheduled exercise classes like tai chi and yoga, walking trails, raised
bed gardens and other activities.
There is also an open invitation to residents to provide input and
participate in decision-making that promotes changes from which the
entire community benefits.
For example, when Kanwal Raheja moved to St. George Village, he knew
the community did not offer his native Indian cuisine. However, he also
knew that, as a life plan retirement community, St. George Village
CommunityProfiles >> 2018/2019

embraces a personcentered
approach
that encourages
residents to actively
participate and
contribute ideas
that are part of
the community’s
continuing evolution.
With that in mind,
Kanwal approached
the culinary staff with
suggestions about
incorporating some
vegetarian dishes
into the daily menus.
Immediately, the
team went to work
on creating some
recipes based on
Kanwal’s suggestions.
Additionally, St.
George Village has
formed partnerships
with
other
organizations that make life easier for residents. One such partner is a
senior move management company that helps new residents downsize
and sell their previous homes and then coordinate their entire move to
St. George Village.
“We totally understand how overwhelming the very thought of moving
from a home that you’ve lived in for many years can be. Our goal in
creating this particular partnership was to ensure that our new residents
could experience a stress-free process that would deliver them to a fully
set-up home on moving day,” said Stacy Anthony, Marketing Director.
“When they walk in for the grand tour of their new residence, everything
is already in place, complete with their treasured belongings. They feel
right at home from the minute they arrive!”
As a life plan community and nonprofit entity, St. George Village
offers a choice of entrance plans for independent living residents that
provide a strategy for a secure future. These plans with their refundable
entrance fees ensure predictable monthly service costs for independent
living residents, along with excellent estate protection. Residents also
are assured of priority access to a continuum of healthcare, including
assisted living, memory care and nursing care, if and when needed.
“We believe in living well in retirement — with peace of mind for the
future,” said Anthony.
Family atmosphere, plus
“outside the box thinking”
Somerby Sandy Springs features full-service fine dining, a bistro and
social café for casual dining, library, media lounge, full-service salon/
spa, concierge healthcare, state-of-the-art health and wellness center
and more. The community is well located, with close proximity to
world-class Northside and Emory-Saint Joseph’s hospitals, shopping and
entertainment, and access to major interstates and MARTA.
In addition to its large range of amenities and services, the community
encourages residents to nurture their relationships with their families
and friends and to form new friendships.
“We have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere here, very family-like,”
said Stephanie Long, Director of Sales and Marketing. “We have a
couples group, a ladies group and a men’s group that go out and have
fun together. Our resident council is very active, plus we have resident
ambassadors, who are on hand to welcome new people, ease their
transition and make them feel at home.”
Long says it’s important not only to have first-rate amenities, but also to
create a schedule of activities and events that appeal to a wide range of
interests among residents and prospective residents.
“We’ve had great success in hosting events that bring together our
residents and people who are interested in our community,” she said.
“Our residents are actually our best representatives. They can speak
to what true independent living is all about, as well as the security of
knowing they have the ability to age in place.”
Long and her team practice creative thinking when it comes to planning
special fun occasions — like trivia and comedy nights and a concert
series, which residents’ families are welcome to attend. Often, neighbors
who live near Somerby are invited to attend. A recent “speed dating,”
which brought together 10 men and 10 women ranging in age between
75 and 96, resulted in at least one match.
“It’s that kind of outside the box thinking that sets our community
apart. We like to make life fun,” said Long. “Some of our residents liken
Somerby to a ‘cruise ship’…but without the motion sickness!”
Building for a full continuum of care
Sterling Estates Senior Living Communities take pride in offering
gracious, spacious retirement living. Currently, Sterling Estates has two
locations — one in East Cobb and one in West Cobb — with a third
breaking ground soon in Cumming in Forsyth County. All are built on
substantial acreage with plenty of greenspace and room for extensive
amenities packages that include numerous dining venues, wellness
centers with indoor heated pools and more.
20 CommunityProfiles >> 2018/2019

Pete Green, partner and Director of Development and Marketing/Sales
for Sterling Estates, says that the communities have special appeal for
active older adults who want to make the most of their retirement
years, but also want to secure their future.
“Many of the people who come for a tour to see what our communities
are like are couples and individuals who want to take full advantage of
their independent years. But they’re also planning for the future, when
they might need care,” he said. “Our Sterling Estates Senior Living
Communities provide the opportunity they’re seeking to fully enjoy
retirement living without the hassles of home ownership. Plus, there
is a plan for healthcare if needed later, through our assisted living and
memory care components of living.”
Green says that many Sterling Estates residents come from outside
Atlanta and Georgia.
“In general, about 40 percent of our residents have come from outside
the greater Atlanta area,” he said. “Many of those who live in our
independent living cottages and garden and apartment homes have
moved from other cities and states to be close to their children and
grandchildren.”
The two Cobb County communities currently offer independent and
assisted living, with day care programs for people who need memory
care and access to third party home health and physical therapy
providers. The West Cobb location will break ground this month on a
dedicated memory care community adjacent to its other residences.
“We can plan for this kind of expansion because our communities are
located on large acreages,” said Green. “We build to provide a full
continuum of care because our residents find true value in it. They
want that peace of mind, knowing they will not have to move again.”

Now for the Fun Part!
By Lisa Mowry
After months of finding your new
house, it’s time to figure out the
right decorating and remodeling
projects to make it wonderful.
Is there anything more intimidating than an empty house? The
possibilities are enormous, but nobody wants to spend money
on the wrong priorities—or last year’s trends. We’ve asked the
experts to help homebuyers get started on making their new home
everything it can be.
Remodeling
Dale Contant, president-elect of the National Association of the Remodeling
Industry and owner of Atlanta Design & Build (atlantadesignbuild.com), offers
his expertise:
Which areas of the house do homebuyers typically approach you to remodel
as a top priority for them?
Contant: Kitchens and master bathrooms are by far the most popular
for every size house. Baby-boomers want any older home they’ve
purchased to have fresh kitchen and bathrooms, floors and paint.
As far as other projects: basements are another key area to update, as well
as other bathrooms in the house.
Do you recommend that homeowners try to do as much as possible before
moving in?
Contant: It makes for a good transition to have the floors refinished or carpeted,
new paint, and any areas that desperately need updating to be done prior to
moving in. It’s a lot harder to do with furniture in place and living through the
mess; if you remodel before you move in, there’s less inconvenience and it can
be done faster.
What are some trends you’re seeing in kitchens and baths these days?
Kitchens: We’re seeing that homeowners are removing walls and making an
open floor plan. They seem to prefer a larger, single level island rather than the
multi-level ones from past years, with stone or quartz countertops. We also see
more upgrades in appliances than from previous years, and the popularity of
farmhouse sinks.
Master bathrooms: Bathrooms these days are featuring a much larger shower,
often with a “curbless entry,” large format tile, heated tile floors, and frameless
showers. We are also adding more freestanding soaking tubs, and linen
cabinets.
What about outdoor areas...do you see that as a popular area of the house
for Atlantans to remodel or upgrade?
Contant: With such a great spring, summer, fall and even winter in Atlanta, we
can use the exterior areas of our home year-round. What we’re seeing a lot of:
screen porches with fireplaces and TVs, fancy decks, hot tub areas, outdoor
kitchens, waterfalls and serene landscape features, fire pits, and exterior
fireplaces—all sorts of ways to link the outdoors and indoors.

TV—plus an adjacent deck to get a little sun. Photos courtesy of Atlanta Design & Build;

Decorating
Joann Kandrac and Kelly Kole make up Kandrac & Kole Interior Design (kandrackole.com),
voted one of Atlanta’s top interior design firms by the Atlanta
Business Chronicle. They are frequently featured in magazines such as Better
Homes & Gardens. Their thoughts on decorating with a plan:
What are some of the first steps homeowners should take to go about
decorating their new house?
Kelly Kole: Having just gone thru this process myself (after living in a house
for 18 years) I would advise homeowners to begin the process by ruthlessly
purging. Only keep the things that are of quality and that you love; sell or
donate the others. Once you are dealing with an inventory of only the items you
really love, start thinking about how they can be reused in different rooms. It’s
fun to give new life to a piece of art, a table or chair by putting it in an entirely
new space. I took photographs and measurements of my remaining inventory
and then started to assign pieces to rooms. Once I did this, I knew where I
needed to fill in pieces.
Do you have any general guidelines to help people start the process, such as
identifying favorite colors?
Joann Kandrac: I know some designers say to start with the rug, others choose
fabrics, others have a different set of factors. One of my favorite ground rules
is to select a palette based on a favorite piece of art. If you had a piece of art
in the family room in a previous house, maybe now it will work in the master
bedroom, for instance. Take the opportunity to reinvent your existing pieces in
different parts of your new home.
What do you think are some exciting trends and opportunities in these areas
of the house?
Foyer:
Joann: This is a place you can make a tremendous visual impact and one good
way to do that is with wallpaper. It is making a big comeback and a foyer is
a perfect place to incorporate it. Another opportunity in this area is to have
fun with the flooring. Examples might be to mix marble and wood in the same
room, or use flooring in a chevron or brick-style pattern.
Living room:
Joann: Make this room a true room to live in; gone are the days of the “too
nice to sit on” furniture and the museum-like furnishings. Make this room
comfortable and cohesive to family time, not a room that is only “for show.”
Dining room:
Kelly: Formal dining rooms are not as common as they once were. Some
homeowners are turning their dining room into a more multi-functional space
– such as also a library, music room, or craft room. For those homeowners who
still want a dining room, we are seeing a trend toward a more casual area. One
way to accomplish this is by using a mix of seating options. We are designing
these spaces with a mix of wood and upholstered chairs, benches and banquets
(like a small sofa made to cozy up to a dining table). Also, a large interesting
chandelier can transform a dining room. Most chandeliers we see in clients’
homes are too small.
Family room/TV room:
Kelly: Our clients are busy families, so the fabric choices we make are very
important. We are selecting Sunbrella and Crypton fabrics in many of our
projects. These fabrics are traditionally known for their indoor/outdoor
qualities but the patterns, colors and softness have come a long way. They are
durable and easy to clean, which appeals to everybody. We are also designing
family rooms that appeal to everybody in the family—such as a quiet reading
corner, a small desk to work at, a pub table for games, or a large, deep sofa for
curling up in front of a movie.
Kitchen:
Joann: Incorporating bold and oversized light fixtures can update your kitchen
in a big way. Storage is another game changer for functionality in a kitchen.
In terms of cabinetry, it’s handy to incorporate trash/recycling pullouts, rollout
drawers, spice pullouts and even special storage for dog bowls/food.
Powder room:
Joann: This is the space where company can close the door and really take it all
in. Even though this is probably the smallest room in the house, it can have the
most impact. The use of a graphic wall covering or an intense paint color for
the ceiling is one clever way. Painting this room a dark color is also a great way
to add drama and it does NOT make the room look smaller.
CommunityProfiles >> 2018/2019

Master bedroom:
Kelly: Normally the last room that our clients decorate, the master bedroom
is really one of the most important spaces for homebuyers. We are enjoying
designing with “smart furniture” these days-- bedside tables that have a built
in night light under the table, hidden drawers for iphones/ipads to charge, or
headboards that have a hidden panel with an LED reading light. We are also
layering windows with custom linen panels but then using a black out cellular
shade underneath--a big hit with the teenagers!
Home office:
Kelly: With technology becoming smaller and more efficient, a home office
can be a light-filled corner of a room, a renovated closet, or a portion of a
laundry room or butlers pantry. We are also seeing trends towards wellness
and ergonomics in the office - standing desks, adjustable smart chairs (where
you can adjust the height, the lumbar and the arms) and LED lighting that is
easy on the eyes.
They gave the dining room a new look with slipcovered chairs and a more casual light fixture
with some size to it (the previous one was wimpy).

“We were able to use about 40% of this Atlanta family’s previous things for their new house,”
says Kelly Kole. To upgrade the family room, they painted the built-ins a soothing gray, and
livened up an existing sectional with new pillows and rug in colorful hues.

natural spring that became
a trading post for nearby settlers. Alpharetta was chartered in 1858 and until
1931 was the county seat of Milton County, which merged with Fulton County
in order to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Depression.
The city has changed a lot in the past 84 years. With an area of 21.4 square
miles, it is one of the largest—and wealthiest—municipalities in North Fulton
County. They recently opened their beautiful new City Hall. 63.3 percent of
Alpharetta’s residents own a bachelor’s degree or higher, which is nearly 35
percent above the national average for young adults. The public high schools
boast a combined graduation rate of 95.5 percent, and with an average ACT
score of 23.8 and 65 percent of students participating in AP courses. Known
as “The Technology City of the South,” Alpharetta is home to countless office
parks and IT centers. It is also a hub for many well- known businesses like ADP,
LexisNexis, Comcast and E-Trade, among others. They have over 600 technology
companies. Alpharetta is a shopper’s paradise with NorthPoint Mall and Avalon,

mixed-use development from North American Properties, which owns the
Atlantic Station development in Midtown Atlanta, has attracted retailers like
Apple, Whole Foods, J. Crew and Road Runner Sports and dining concepts from

both in the historic downtown area and at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at
Encore Park, the summer home of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

parks in the area. The city is in the process of building out five new parks,
which will more than double its parks and recreation acreage. Additionally,
the city is bordered by the Chattahoochee River, and includes three National
Park Recreation Areas. For arts and entertainment, the Johns Creek Symphony
Orchestra, which is a fully professional orchestra, is a major attraction, along
with the Johns Creek Arts Center. Connected by four major interstates and
MARTA, the region’s only transit rail system, Fulton County is the state’s largest
county in terms of population, real estate and economic activity. With 15
unique cities, including the great City of Atlanta; the State Capitol and major

options. Recreational choices are abundant, with thousands of acres of parks
and green space. From north to south, Fulton County is a community that
offers a little bit of everything, no matter your lifestyle preference.

Milton
cityofmiltonga.us (678) 252-2400
Incorporated in 2006, the city of Milton is named after Revolutionary War hero
John Milton. Milton also served as Georgia’s Secretary of State from 1777 until
1799. The city wasted no time in catching up with some of its neighbors and
has already been recognized locally and nationally for its accomplishments.
In 2011, the Atlanta Business Chronicle ranked Milton as having the best
quality of life in the metro area. The same year, Milton was awarded the No.
9 spot in the South for quality of life by The Business Journals. Metrics for this
survey of more than 1,100 cities across the region included the percentage of
workers who either walk to work or telecommute (13.4 percent), adults with
advanced degrees (20.4 percent) and the homeownership rate (81 percent).
Its population of more than 33,000 residents also boasts a median household
income of about $99,000 per year. Milton also came in at No. 3 on home
security firm SafeWise’s list of the 50 safest cities in Georgia. For recreation,
Milton has partnered with Alpharetta for use of local parks.
Business has also thrived in Milton. In 2013, the city founded its economic
development department in an effort to meet goals set out in its strategic

plan. Considering the strides the city has made in the eight years since its
incorporation, the future looks bright for Milton and its residents.

Mountain Park
mountainparkgov.com (770) 993-4231
Bordered on three sides by Roswell and extending into Cherokee County by less
than 1,000 feet, Mountain Park, GA is the smallest of North Fulton’s cities with a
total area of less than a square mile and a population of only 547. Incorporated
in 1927, Mountain Park was originally a summer getaway for some of Atlanta’s
more elite citizens, with only three families living as permanent residents
including the mayor, who ran a small shop called “The Stand.”
While it has grown since then, Mountain Park remains an idyllic change of pace
for the Atlanta area. The city is zoned as a wildlife refuge, and many official
clubs are dedicated to maintaining its unique natural beauty, including the
Watershed Preservation Society, the Mountain Park Organic community garden
project, and the Green and Beautiful Program. The Arbor Day Foundation,
USDA Forest Service and Association of State Foresters recently awarded the
city the distinction of Tree City USA, which recognizes urban and community
forestry programs across the US. If you want the jobs of the Atlanta area but the
peace and quiet of a lakeside cabin, Mountain Park is an ideal spot, but hurry
-- at the time of this writing, there are only 10 houses for sale!
Roswell
roswellgov.com (770) 641-3727
Unlike many of North Fulton’s communities, Roswell was founded in the early
19th century. The city is named after its founder, Roswell King, who built
what became the largest cotton mill in North Georgia. The city was officially
incorporated in 1854. By the time the Civil War started, the cotton mill
employed more than 400 people, many of whom were sent north when the
mill was destroyed by Gen. Sherman’s troops. During the Great Depression,
when much of the area’s agricultural industry was lagging, Roswell was
ceded from Cobb County to become part of Fulton at the same time that
neighboring Milton County was being absorbed by Fulton.
Roswell is now the eighth largest city in Georgia with a population close to
90,000, after having experienced extensive growth over the past 20 years.
Due to its outstanding quality of life, the city has twice been voted one of
the best places in the metro area to live by Atlanta magazine. Additionally,
Frommer’s ranked Roswell No. 3 on its list of the best places to raise a family.
Part of that can be attributed to its 13 parks, which comprise more than 900
acres of active and passive green space. Residents also have access to the
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, which is part of the National
Park System. Roswell boasts a quaint downtown square full of eclectic shops
and some of the metro area’s best restaurants.

Sandy Springs
sandyspringsga.org (770) 730-5600
Located just outside the I-285 Perimeter and easily accessible via Georgia
400, Sandy Springs was incorporated in 2006 and now has a population
of more than 103,000. Sandy Springs is the second largest city in the
metropolitan Atlanta area and is the sixth largest city in the state. Their new
City Hall opens this year.While Perimeter Mall, one of the area’s premier
shopping destinations, falls within the borders of the city of Dunwoody, the
surrounding business district belongs to Sandy Springs. Northside Hospital,
Saint Joseph’s Hospital and the Scottish Rite campus of Children’s Healthcare
of Atlanta also fall within Sandy Springs’ borders. These are also some of the
largest employers in the city. Sandy Springs has the distinction of being the
home of UPS, one of the world’s most recognizable brands. More than 5,500
EJC-373 Community Profiles Ad.indd 1
businesses currently call Sandy Springs home.
Recreation opportunities abound in Sandy Springs, which has 12 parks
and several annual outdoor festivals and events. Heritage Sandy Springs, a
nonprofit that seeks to preserve and promote the history of Sandy Springs,
sponsors the annual Sandy Springs Festival and also runs Heritage Green,
which includes the Williams-Payne House and Museum. Tennis magazine
recently called The Sandy Springs Tennis Center, which has 24 lighted courts,
“one of the finest public facilities in the country.” Over the past few years,
Sandy Springs has implemented many projects to increase green space,
make the city more pedestrian friendly and decrease dependence on fossil
fuels. The Atlanta Regional Commission recently honored Sandy Springs
for its efforts to use solar energy and propane auto gas for many of its fire
stations and police vehicles. Sandy Springs boasts nationally recognized
public schools and world-class private schools.
