East Cobb and Alpharetta Jewish areas and schools (Atlanta, Roswell: subdivision, moving to)

[AMLJ2004]

We are considering moving to either East Cobb or Alpharetta and have a few questions. In East Cobb, which shools have the largest jewish population (Mount Bethel, Eastside)? Does Dolvin in Alpharetta have a large jewish population?

What subdivisions in East Cobb and Alpharetta would have a lot of jewish families?

We have read that a lot of young families are moving to Alpharetta. What about East Cobb? Should a family with young kids consider East Cobb?

East Cobb has a pretty significant Jewish population...2 reform and 1 conservative temple in the area, a jcc with a preschool and a camp...my kids go to mt bethel and it seems quite Jewish to us. I would say that the most Jewish neighborhoods are Easthampton and Hampton Woods. You will definately not feel uncomfortable in East Cobb.

Walton High has a large Jewish population.

Again, here I am. Dolvin has a large Jewish population (I'm one of them). You mentioned The Falls as a subdivision you're considering. I happen to know many Jewish families with young children in The Falls and would be happy to introduce you.

You really can't go wrong with Alpharetta, it's close to the JCC in Dunwoody and there are a number of temples to choose from.

Hope to meet you some day.

According to the Jewish Times:

According to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, at least 10,000 Jews live in the “northern arc” of Alpharetta, Roswell and Duluth. Cobb County boasts about 20 percent of metro Atlanta’s total Jewish population.

Reform temples in outlying areas, such as Kol Emeth in Marietta, Shir Shalom in Duluth and Beth Tikvah in Roswell, have almost doubled their memberships in the past five years.

Remember, East Cobb also has the Shirley Blumenthal Park/Atlanta Jewish Community Center on Post Oak Tritt Road. Very nice and a great resource for Jewish residents.
