Alpharetta is extremely nice. Very similar to the Woodlands. Good schools keeps the property values high. Bid for a few 700-800k houses there last Spring that all ended up going $1m+ to the winning bidder. Settled in Smyrna(pretty nice area, 30 min drive to airport, but terrible schools) for now and will wait til a WB Capt for the Alpharetta forever home. Traffic is a small price to pay for living in that fantastic community.
