Milton Real Estate

A tranquil, country-chic locale mere minutes from downtown Atlanta
 
Milton is an affluent, rural oasis tucked in North Fulton county, a quick drive from both downtown Atlanta and the bustling Buckhead neighborhood. The community is careful to maintain its rural heritage while embracing innovation and forward-thinking ideas. This unique balance offers Milton residents an exceptional quality of life. 
 
Milton was historically farmland until it was officially incorporated in 2006 as a way of preserving the charming, rural atmosphere and lifestyle the community is known for. Milton continues to retain its rich heritage and remains preserved due to effective land-use policies and an emphasis on balanced development. 
 

What to Love

  • Sprawling land and horse farms
  • Tranquility and privacy with homes set on large, secluded lots
  • Ranked among the state’s safest cities

Local Lifestyle

Milton is an equestrian enthusiast’s dream, so it’s no wonder the community has been dubbed “horse country” by locals. Because it’s mostly zoned for agriculture, Milton boasts an abundance of sprawling horse farms with farmhouse estates. Many homes sit on lush, private lots along country roads — building in Milton requires a one-acre lot minimum — attracting business elites and families seeking a tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle. 
 
Milton regularly ranks as one of Georgia's safest cities. It’s also home to some of the best schools in the state and features a vibrant mix of commercial, office, and retail space for the savvy entrepreneur looking to fulfill their dreams.
 

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

Plenty of fine dining and upscale shopping is situated in the neighboring communities of Alpharetta. However, the community itself is filled with a variety of wonderful amenities. 
 
Crabapple Market, located in the heart of Milton, exudes mom-and-pop charm. It boasts a collection of locally-owned shops and restaurants as well as residential areas connected by walkways and trails. 
 
Locals are apt to point visitors toward The Union, a lively gem in the heart of Milton featuring comfort food such as shrimp and grits, spaghetti, coffee, and doughnuts. Alpine Bakery & Pizzeria features a full lunch and dinner menu as well as a robust wine list. Enjoy contemporary Southern cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients in a quaint and cozy atmosphere at Milton’s Cuisine and Cocktails.
 
DIY lover? Harness your creativity at AR Workshop, which offers classes from home decor to woodworking for all skill levels. Many workshops align with the season, such as a fall class focused on creating knit blankets.
 

Things to Do

Milton is chock-full of community events and unique attractions to explore. A cherished tradition among Milton locals is the Crabapple Fest, an annual arts and antique festival that transforms Crabapple Road into a bustling market showcasing hundreds of local antique and art vendors. The Milton Farmers’ Market brings fresh produce and other items to the Broadwell Pavilion. Milton’s Independence Day Walking Parade is another beloved tradition where residents dress up in festive red, white and blue garb to parade the streets. Join friends and neighbors to carve or paint jack o’lanterns for Halloween at the annual Carvin’ in Crabapple.
