North Atlanta is one of the most desirable places to live in the entire state of Georgia. Cities and suburbs like Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs and Roswell offer unlimited real estate, education, career and recreation opportunities. Check out five things you can look forward to when you buy a home in North Atlanta:
-
Unlimited Job Opportunities … Without The Commute
Let’s face it. The Atlanta roadways are not exactly the most pleasant places to be at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday. Sure, Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead offer their share of amazing job opportunities, but many companies are taking their business outside the Perimeter. The result is a number of great places to work just minutes from your North Atlanta home.
For example, some of Alpharetta’s top employers are McKesson, LexisNexis, UPS, Comcast, HP, Verizon and E-Trade. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution‘s headquarters are in Dunwoody these days, as is the headquarters for InterContinental Hotels Group. Johns Creek has a reputation for being Atlanta’s “Silicon Valley,” thanks to its technology park which houses offices for many Fortune 500 companies. Sandy Springs counts IBM, Cox Enterprises, Cisco and Oracle among its top employers.

Some Of The State’s Top Schools
Many parents choose North Atlanta because it offers access to some of the state’s best private and public schools. According to U.S. News and World Report, three of Georgia’s top ten high schools — Alpharetta High School, Milton High School and Chattahoochee High School — are located in North Atlanta with several others close behind. Many of the area’s elementary schools have received federal recognition.
