Alpharetta Real Estate

Atlanta's tech corridor and one of the most desirable suburban cities in the Southeast. Top schools, walkable downtown, Avalon, and steady new construction.

About Alpharetta

Alpharetta is a city of about 67,000 residents in north Fulton County, anchoring the GA-400 corridor often called "Tech Alpharetta." The city has invested heavily in walkable mixed-use development — most notably Avalon and downtown Alpharetta — and consistently ranks among the top places to live in Georgia and nationally.

Alpharetta real estate ranges widely. Established golf and swim-tennis neighborhoods like Crooked Creek, Country Club of the South, and St. Ives offer homes from $700,000 to $3 million+. New construction along the GA-400 corridor and in eastern Alpharetta typically starts in the high $500,000s and runs into the $1 million+ range. Townhomes near Avalon and downtown Alpharetta generally run $500,000 to $900,000.
