Alpharetta is one of the South’s most vibrant and affluent communities. With a growing corporate presence, it is gaining the beneficial qualities of a burgeoning exurb, yet its backyard is home to horse farms and country roads leading to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Atlanta is 25 minutes down the highway; the world’s busiest airport is only a 40-minute drive. 

Education is an important aspect of community life, and the county offers nationally recognized public schools, boasting test scores significantly higher than state and national averages. Newsweek recognized five North Fulton high schools among the top four percent in the nation.

Golf is a favorite pastime as evidenced by the location of numerous renowned courses, including Sugarloaf, the site of the BellSouth Classic;  the Atlanta National; the challenging Tom Fazio-designed White Columns; Country Club of the South; Golf Club of Georgia; and  Hawk’s Ridge – one of Golf Digest’s top 10 private courses and the spot where Tiger Woods tees off when he’s in town. Equestrian enthusiasts have numerous places to indulge in their love, including the Polo Fields, a privately owned club. 

Attracted to the superior quality of life, countless sports luminaries, entertainers and celebrities call Alpharetta home. More NFL players reside here than any single spot in the nation, as well as distinguished baseball icons Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. They join an expanding contingent of natives, professionals and retirees to make Alpharetta one of the most desirable and fastest-growing locations in the Southeast.
