Roswell Area (Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Marietta: homes, job market, best schools)

[redhotcrystal]

HI. I am going to be moving and wondering what the Roswell Area is like, in particular maybe Alpharetta. How's the school system for young ones and the job market(legal sec./office)? Also how's the weather?Any reply would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

FYI on an area of Roswell, near Alpharetta--you can use the Zoom features to explore N, S, E and W of this location and that will give you some idea of the parameters of this area--quite large--lots of driving...and lots of people...

This school seems to be in the Mansell Rd, Houze Rd, 400--Alpharetta area. A heavily traveled and populated area.
