North Atlanta has experienced great growth and changes over the years and has evolved into its own incredible destination. Known as its own affluent and thriving metropolis,  North Atlanta is filled with some of the highest quality public and private schools, luxurious shopping centers as well as popular entertainment and professional sports venues.

The climate of North Atlanta is typical of a humid, subtropical climate. Here the mild winters require a jacket, scarf, and maybe a piping hot cup of Starbucks coffee. Summers are when Southerns love to come out to play. It's the perfect time for shorts, flip flops, and a glass of sweet iced tea while taking in a Braves game! Did we mention that our Braves are the 2021 World Series Champs!!!

The area offers a variety of shopping opportunities for its residents and visitors.  Take a stroll through some of our southern squares like downtown Roswell. The area offers unique boutiques, antique shops, and locally-owned restaurants all in a slow-paced southern environment.  Looking for more of a luxury shopping experience then head to Avalon of Alpharetta.
