☀️ 100+ Ways to Explore North Atlanta This Weekend
The back-to-school rush may be here, but North Atlanta isn’t slowing down just yet. This weekend’s lineup includes everything from the Alpharetta Moonlight Market and a floral workshop at Painted Horse Winery to breakfast with butterflies, art festivals, live music, and even a stand-up paddleboard competition.
And if you’re house hunting, we’d love to see you at our open house this Saturday from 12-2PM at 330 Gullwing Ct in Alpharetta. Priced at $575K, this updated home sits right between Downtown Alpharetta and Avalon, making it an excellent opportunity for a first home, investment property, or anyone looking to be close to everything.
Have an amazing weekend and we hope to see you out and about!
