Traffic is a small price to pay for living in that fantastic community.
Look for Avalon. Alpharetta old town area. Draw a 5 mile circle. Great area, worth the :50-1:30 drive to airport for sure. WB trips leave between traffic peaks most of time. Cumming is a little less expensive but great for raising families (most schools still keeping traditional values) Alpharetta better for singles.
