Amenities in Alpharetta

Living in Alpharetta centers on a few well-defined districts tied together by GA 400, Old Milton Parkway, and a street grid that becomes more walkable around downtown. Along Old Roswell Street and Roswell Street, Alpharetta City Center folds City Hall, the Town Green, shops, and restaurant patios into the middle of downtown, while the Alpharetta Farmers Market runs there weekly through November 14. A few blocks away on Canton Street, the Alpharetta Arts Center anchors the cultural side of downtown with galleries, studios, and regular programming, and the Downtown Alpharetta Arts Walking Tour threads public art through the same streets. For larger events, Food Truck Alley returns to downtown from 5 to 9 p.m. with live music starting at 6 p.m., turning Old Roswell Street into one of the more recognizable things to do in Alpharetta.

The east side of the city has a different rhythm around Avalon on Old Milton Parkway, where retail, restaurants, a movie theater, and hotel space are laid out in a compact mixed-use district just off GA 400. Downtown and Avalon connect by the Alpha Loop, a multi-use trail that gives this part of Alpharetta amenities a more linked-together feel on foot or by bike. For outdoor space, Wills Park sits near downtown with ballfields, courts, a pool, a dog park, playgrounds, and an equestrian center, while the Big Creek Greenway runs along the North Point Parkway corridor through a wooded linear park. Ameris Bank Amphitheatre stands on Encore Parkway on the eastern side of Alpharetta, drawing major touring acts through the warmer months, and Foundation Social Eatery sits in downtown near the core shopping streets, adding another stop in a restaurant district that stays active well beyond lunch. Before you buy here, expect housing stock that ranges from older subdivisions on curving interior streets to newer infill and townhome construction near downtown and the Avalon side of the city.

Taxes · Fulton County, GA

Property tax

About 1.038% of market value (county rate)

Unincorporated Fulton County: 25.95 mills on 40% of fair market value · A city inside the county adds its own rate on top of this

Sales tax

The property rate above is the county general levy plus Fulton County Schools. An address inside the City of Atlanta pays the city's own millage and falls under Atlanta Public Schools instead, so the total differs; Alpharetta and Roswell likewise set their own property and sales rates. A homestead exemption reduces the bill and must be claimed by 1 April.
