About Alpharetta Georgia |
Alpharetta is one of the fastest growing communities in the South. Due to the building of the GA 400 extension in 1993, which allowed the communities to drive directly into the heart of Atlanta, Alpharetta has become a thriving and affluent suburb. The city is ideal for raising families and living a quality lifestyle free from traffic and noise of the big city. If you're looking for beautiful surroundings for raising a family, great schools, freedom from the dense traffic of downtown Atlanta but still want to be close to the city or airport, Alpharetta could be for you. Alpharetta is just 40 minutes from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and an easy commute to many business up and down the GA 400 corridor, Buckhead, and Downtown Alanta. Many commuters use the Metro Atlanta Regional Transportation Authority (MARTA) to go to and from the airport and to jobs in the city of Atlanta. Trains run every few minutes from the North Springs station in Sandy Springs the northern most train station.
Alpharetta´s slogan: "Enjoy, Experience, Explore; Everything´s Possible!" describes the spirit and life of a city that offers its inhabitants beautiful surroundings, exciting activities, and a family friendly area. Alpharetta is a richly diverse city offering a thriving culinary scene, leading arts district, luxury accommodations, exciting recreation, trendy entertainment districts and endless shopping opportunities.
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 has made Alpharetta one of the premiere locations in Atlanta today. The median house value in Alpharetta in 1990 was $119,800, approximately 30% higher than the Atlanta Region's median of $92,300, with 62.3% of Alpharetta's housing valued at $100,000 or more. By 2000, Alpharetta's median housing value climbed to $256,000.
Many great businesses have decided to take advantage of the better property pricing and the executive and professional workforce that reside here and locate their corporate headquarters here in Alpharetta. Another fantastic addition to Alpharetta is the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater located right in the heart of the city. Set on 45 acres of beautifully-landscaped wooded land in Alpharetta, GA, north of Atlanta in Fulton County, the 12,000-seat Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park will seat 7,000 under a roof, and another 5,000 on a lawn area. The venue provides a unique setting for both music lovers and first-time concert goers.
