Roswell

Welcome to Roswell

Riverside suburb with an affluent historic district

Roswell is a charming suburban city north of Atlanta with a rich history as a mill town. The remnants of the old mill have left a profound historical mark on the town, and many of the local favorite locations follow that trend. The homes feature elegant single-family neighborhoods, and several Rosewell communities are quite close to the Chattahoochee River.

The city is split into three sections, each with its own public library, so you have more than a few choices to find your dream home in Roswell, GA.

Local Lifestyle

Roswell is one of the furthest suburbs from Atlanta. This lends a special peace and quiet to the affluent neighborhoods where locals enjoy gathering at Old Mill Park or sharing relaxing games of golf at the two local country clubs. You may see your neighbors running the local nature trails or strolling downtown Roswell's plazas and beautiful spaces.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Roswell is a unique community with a blend of local boutique and artisan shops alongside the chain retail that most rely on for daily errands. If you're looking for something special, start your Roswell explorations at Oli+Ve. This unique little olive oil bottling company is also a charming boutique for cooking enthusiasts. Here, you will find many types of olive oils, bottled olives, and cooking gifts.

Peach & the Porkchop is one of Roswell's most unique restaurants, and not just for the name. This indoor outdoor pub features Southern comfort food and "Northern Style" sandwiches, but they're best known for their specialty alcoholic milkshakes. Enjoy a beautiful blend of fieldstone brickwork and a charming terrace with your meal, or come for the friendly nightlife.

For fine dining, join your fellow locals at the Mill Kitchen & Bar. The charming rustic surroundings somehow contrast perfectly with beautifully made tables and delectable gourmet Southern fare. Enjoy perfect cocktails, artful appetizers, tender brisket, and good conversation.

Things to Do

Roswell has a lot of history alongside a lively modern culture. You can see a great deal of that history at the Old Mill Park and Machine Shop, a beautiful riverside stretch of green spaces with a covered bridge and the historical remnants of the old mill.

Every year in Old Mill Park, you can join the community in celebrating Alive in Roswell, a local festival in early October where family-friendly activities abound. Enjoy live music, children's games, local artisans, food trucks, and interactive vendors around every corner.

For a taste of indoor refinement and culture, step into the beautiful Vinings Gallery on Canton, a small art gallery with the charm and boutique style that is special to downtown Roswell. Revel in stunning artworks by local artists as you enjoy a quiet stroll between the bustle of shopping and outdoor adventures.
