Roswell became an official city in 1854 and has since been dubbed Georgia’s best city to live in; chosen twice by Atlanta Magazine as the best place to live in the metro Atlanta area. With millennials now making up the largest percentage of buyers, and with the recent shift of working remotely eliminating commute times, Roswell has become a popular destination for younger buyers. The city has seen a 27% year-over-year growth in its median sales price of homes, now $458,000; Roswell is on the real estate fast track.
The city’s population and size remain modest, creating a small-town feel that everyone falls in love with. With its picturesque downtown filled with independently owned shops and restaurants, it’s no secret why people love it. A town with a balance of work and life.
