  • Alpharetta, Georgia is such a great place to live. There’s so much to do, you have Downtown Alpharetta and Avalon with incredible shopping, dining and activities, a variety of affordable housing options, the greenway for outdoor fun and so much more. But every place has its pros and cons, so here’s what I love and what I don’t like about living in Alpharetta.

    After spending almost 6 years in midtown/Buckhead area, I moved to Alpharetta about 6 months ago. I have to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Lovely town, lovely neighborhood, and great restaurants and shopping area. To be honest, Alpharetta is closer to my office and traffic doesn’t bother me anymore. I came from a very humid and hot country so the humidity and heat hear are really nothing to me. Only wish I moved to Alpharetta years ago. Wonderful place to me and totally affordable 🥰
    PS: the houses in the neighborhood around Haynes bridge rd are so cute. Hopefully I will move there in the future.

    I moved to Alpharetta in 1993 from Los Angeles, CA. At that time we thought we were moving to the country. We like it here SO much better than LA. Heat and humidity don't bother me too much, but mosquitos are another story. Smokejack has the best BBQ IMO. We live close to downtown and often ride our bikes there to avoid traffic.

    • @KarlaEisele
      @KarlaEisele  3 года назад +1

      @@liyubi Mosquito season often comes with spring temperatures and are most active in temps above 80 degrees. With Georgia’s warm climate, mosquito peak season is during Summer months when it’s hottest. Depends on rainfall in a given year too. I definitely make sure no standing water around my house. We have great pest control company’s which can treat, but I’ve never gone that route. They love to bite my husband when mowing, so he wears long sleeves and uses REPEL - Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent which works great!
