Roswell Real Estate

Historic charm, riverside parks, top schools, and a walkable Canton Street district. Roswell consistently ranks among the best places to live in Georgia.

About Roswell

Roswell is a city of about 95,000 residents in north Fulton County, sitting along the Chattahoochee River about 22 miles north of downtown Atlanta. Founded in the 1830s as a mill town, Roswell preserved its historic core unusually well — Canton Street and the surrounding historic district remain a true walkable destination with restaurants, galleries, and antebellum architecture.

Roswell real estate is broad. Historic homes in Roswell's Historic District and near Canton Street range from $700,000 to $3 million+ for fully restored period properties. Established suburban neighborhoods like Willow Springs, Country Club of Roswell, and Horseshoe Bend offer homes from $700,000 to $2 million. More moderate suburban inventory across the rest of Roswell typically runs $500,000 to $900,000.

Chattahoochee River Access

Major access points to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, with kayaking, hiking, and one of the metro's best park systems.

Top Schools

Roswell is served by Fulton County Schools, including highly-rated Roswell High School and access to top-rated schools like Centennial.
