North Fulton has enjoyed
enormous
growth in the last ten years, with new centers of business and commerce
developing along GA 400, Highway 9 (Roswell Road) and 141
(Medlock
Bridge Parkway), offering employment, shopping, fine restaurants
and churches.
Easy access to the North Georgia
Mountains,
Lake Lanier, and the Chattahoochee River Preserve make this area a
great
place for family life. The schools are excellent. Most new
communities feature extensive amenity centers, often including Junior
Olympic
pools, lighted tennis courts, club houses and nature trails.
The small historic towns of
Alpharetta and
Roswell offer a touch of small town living with gift and antique shops
and restaurants. West of Roswell Road and north
toward
Forsyth County, you'll still see a few horse farms and lovely
countryside.
The Northpoint Mall area,
located in Alpharetta
at Mansell Road and GA 400, offers all the major department and
specialty
stores as well as restaurants and hotels. Perimeter Mall, located
at Ashford Dunwoody Road and I-285, is a long time favorite of
residents
of North Fulton and Dunwoody. A new MARTA station for rapid
transportation
opened at Perimeter Mall in the last few years.
