Wife and I are looking to make the move to the burbs this fall. Have started looking at houses/neighborhoods in Roswell, Marietta, East Cobb, and Alpharetta. Any recommendations for good areas walking distance to a downtown or area with bars/breweries, restaurants, etc.? Something like a downtown Roswell. Looking for 4-4500 sq. ft., $1M max.

We recently bought a house in Johns Creek and absolutely love it here. Central location and tons of things to do around here. With your budget, you can get an incredible home in JC or Alpharetta.

Roswell sounds like what you’re looking for

If travel to downtown is a major factor, Marietta or Sandy Springs would be better.
Roswell or Johns Creek if occasional travel to DT, Johnscreek is significantly better option considering Great school district, lots of recreational activities, Overall Safety n Good restaurants around.

Love downtown Alpharetta

Dunwoody

Alpharetta - downtown Alpharetta is not far from 400 and then areas like Windward neighborhood(has pvt lake) are close to 400 as well - and its a quick and easy commute to Buckhead

Your biggest issue is going to be finding something that large. All those areas are nice. You’ll just need to look. You may also want to look at dt Woodstock. But again I don’t think there’s much over about 3,000 sf.

If you’re spending an entire million dollars, why not buy a house intown?

I wish! My 1300 sq. ft. condo cost me $450k in 2021 (now renting it out for $3200/month). The space we’re looking for would be closer to $2M in town. Also, we have to consider schools.

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business. When I’m out of the office or during the weekends I get into a “leave me alone state” and don’t want to know anything about the office. I actually just want to get in the agency, do the best I can within the time I have available, and get out. In a business where “the most committed wins” this is not an ideal mindset, but I’m done. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
