Suggestions for local produce/peach stands in the Alpharetta/Milton/Roswell area? Or a bit further afield. Grocery store peaches are a huge disappointment. I’d love to find a local stand or market and throw some support their way. Haven’t tried the farmer’s market yet because I’m not keen on the parking or the crowds, but it’s on my list.

My wife, newborn, dog and I might have to move down to Atlanta area within the next month, so we’ve been looking around at places to live.

To be clear the expectation is this wouldn’t be home forever, maybe just a year before setting roots somewhere else down there in a house.

For that reason we’re prioritizing luxury style apartment complexes so we could just get in quick and easy (hopefully).

I would be commuting to midtown, wife would be remote.

Our budget is $3k to $4k a month for a 2b/2bath with AC and in unit laundry.

With the dog and my wife being out on leave, we love the idea of being quickly able to walk to parks or into a downtown of sorts for coffee or a bite.

We’ve zeroed in on Roswell, specifically the Vickers building.

The downtown seems sizeable and cute, there are lots of parks, and the building seems nice enough.

I’m curious if there are any other suburb/ city setups we should be considering?

Below are my current takes on other areas, feel free to challenge me on them if I’m wrong;

Sandy Springs doesn’t seem to have as clear of a downtown to me and has a lot of busy roads, and I get similar vibes from Brookhaven.

No real apartment complexes in downtown Marietta.

Decatur is too far from some of the family/friends we want to be by, but would check boxes.

Alpharetta feels like a nasty commute to midtown.

Is there anywhere else you’d recommend or does this seem like a solid enough plan?

Looking for feedback on Haven OBGYN - anyone used them? I'm looking for a smaller practice that delivers at Northside. This will hopefully be my first successful pregnancy... IVF, "geriatric" at 38. Any feedback appreciated.

Looking for feedback from current or past residents - how is the area in 2026? Actual experience in the apartments? The lake is great and so are the trails, but want to see what the community and management is like. We've heard that some buildings are definitely better than others.

Have something scratching in a wall/ceiling and can’t find where it is getting in at all. Anyone have someone they recommend for this?

Does anyone have information about the townhome fire that happened on Tuesday in the new neighborhood off of Myrtle Street?

I heard fireworks, then around 20 minutes later every firetruck in the area was parked on Myrtle putting out the fire.

Was it homeowner error, or fireworks?

Saw some people doing work there today. Recently heard the building has a new owner. Anyone know who bought it and/or what’s going in there?

Not much more to add. I'm looking for a local bakery to buy bread from that's ideally located in East Roswell.

Hi there! looking for any fellow romantasy readers out there to maybe start a book club or small group!

I am 28 yo female living in the Roswell/alpharetta GA area. I just think it would be fun to meet up to talk about books or have a group to dress up to go to the ren faire with (stuff like that ☺️) or simply to send these bookTok edits to 😂

(of note: just finished Starside and am desperat need of someone to talk to about this 🥲)

Thanks! ❤️

I know there is a fire station slated to go in and “grocery-based development.” But does anyone know what grocer specifically?

My family and I are looking for a good meetup spot in Roswell or surrounding area and would love some local recommendations. We’re hoping to make an afternoon of it rather than just grabbing a quick meal and leaving.

Maybe a restaurant where we won’t feel rushed if we linger for a while? Comfortable for a multi-generational group (grandparents, parents, and a young child) and preferably in a walkable area with shops, coffee, dessert, bookstores, etc. nearby.
Indoor options are a big plus since we’ll be there during the summer heat.

We’re open to any cuisine and don’t necessarily need something fancy, just good food and a pleasant area to wander around before or after eating.

Would you recommend downtown Roswell, Avalon, somewhere else entirely? Any specific restaurant + activity combinations that work well for this type of meetup? TIA!

tying to go out and watch a WC game tmr but have mostly just seen stuff about the what parties for the US matches at gate city - anyone know if they’ve been showing the other matches?

Hey Carlsbad!

I've been building a water quality lookup tool and have recently added New Mexico, and 15 cities / 15 water systems including Carlsbad!

The goal is to make it easier for residents to find public water system reports and information. With links to the official reports (they usually end up being PDF's), help understanding the reports, clear and honest limitations - all without making any wild 'safe' or 'unsafe' claims.

Still working on adding more cities, but would love any feedback/suggestions/criticism!

Not an official government site btw, just trying to make public report information easier to find and understand.

The store has nothing on their shelves. The employees have no idea.

I have a project I am working on, and I need several small pieces of sheet stainless steel, about 6"x6", perhaps a little bigger as I can cut it, but not looking for anything "large". I know I can get some from McMaster-Carr, but I was hoping for a lead on a local place that I could pick some up.

Neither Home Depot nor Lowes has stainless, just lots of standard or galvanized...

I’ve been trying to find a community of creative people/ makers/ artists since moving to Roswell but honestly it’s been hard. Does anyone know of anything?

Hi all! This sub has helped me before, thank you. I live in Athens, GA and my mom, who has dementia, moved in with my brother and his family in Roswell. How do I find out about local events? In Athens we have the Flagpole, an arts weekly. Is there something like that in Roswell? A big thank you! Roswell is really beautiful.

I think about this case every once in a while, since it was so unusual for our area. Does anyone know how this ended or if he's okay now? I've searched for a follow up and couldn't find one.
