Welcome to Roswell

Roswell is officially the 8th-largest city in Georgia, and it just keeps growing. Located in the Northern portion of Fulton County just 22 miles from Atlanta, Roswell is known for being both family-friendly and dog-friendly, with so much to offer its residents. Whether you’re interested in nature, shopping and dining, festivals and events, or just a welcoming, tight-knight community, Roswell is sure to fit the bill and make you feel at home.
 
In 2020, Roswell was recognized as one of the safest areas to live in our region — it appeared on SafeWise’s list of the 50 safest towns in Georgia, as well as on their list of the 100 safest towns in the United States. Roswell works hard to promote community spirit and pride among its residents, and the stately historic district gives curious visitors and locals the chance to explore the heritage of the town, as well as enjoy upscale shopping, dining, and leisure.
 
Because Roswell is situated on a picturesque stretch of the Chattahoochee River, there are plenty of green spaces, waterfront views, and water activities to suit all nature lovers. Many of Roswell’s parks are riverfront, including Azalea Park, Riverside Park, Roswell RiverWalk, and more. Are you into history? Visit the Old Mill Park in Roswell, and learn about the town’s role in creating materials for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Or take a tour of eye-catching historic homes — Roswell’s founding estate of Barrington Hall, Bulloch Hall, and Smith Plantation — to discover more about the original families who founded the area. Artistic types will love viewing the town’s many visual arts galleries or enjoying a performance through Roswell Cultural Arts Center. Exciting seasonal events run the gamut, from the Annual Roswell Arts Festival and the Roswell Lavender Festival to the Roswell Beer Festival and the Roswell Roots Festival.
 
Homes in the area can come with a hefty price tag, particularly inside the historic district, but there are plenty of affordable options for anyone who would like to make Roswell their home. From single-family dwellings to upscale condominium communities, Roswell has something for everyone, as well as plenty of reasons to visit for a day or stay for years to come.
