2 Reviews & Comments About Roswell
Loved growing up here! Safe, great schools, plenty to do!
The square is perfect for families. The crime rate is very low. Roswell is close to Atlanta without being in the city.
Very low crime rate! Great restaurants in the historic district. Beautiful scenery and dog friendly! Lots of festivals on Canton Street. And, 20 minutes to the city of Atlanta! Not shabby at all! I love it here. Homes are quite expensive!
