Suburban subdivisions near Big Creek Greenway Trail
Barrington is a small suburb with several established subdivisions zoned to A-rated schools, about 5 miles from downtown Roswell and 25 miles from Atlanta. “Roswell is ideal for commuters traveling to Alpharetta and has a casual, laid-back vibe,” says Erin Waggener, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential and a longtime local of neighboring Alpharetta. She highlights Canton Street and the Chattahoochee River as popular city attractions. The community offers access to the Big Creek Greenway Trails, which connect to Alpharetta, a hub for tech jobs and major shopping centers. The area’s largest subdivision is Barrington Farms, where residents can join the voluntary Barrington Farms HOA. Many homes in the area are being remodeled, and residents often gather for garage sales and holiday celebrations.

Canton Street's small shops and nearby Alpharetta
Canton Street is less than 5 miles away and is the heart of Roswell’s Historic District. “Table & Main and The Fickle Pickle are super cute spots,” Waggener says. “The Fickle Pickle is in this historic house, and they’ve got great sandwiches." Nearby, Brimstone Tavern is a go-to for burgers, wings and beer, but it’s more than just a food spot. On Fridays, they bring in live music, and during the week, locals come out for evening line dancing. Bambinelli’s Italian Restaurant, tucked into a strip mall, is family-owned and cozy, with a central bar and trivia nights throughout the week. Publix at King’s Market is less than 2 miles away for everyday errands, and Alpharetta has all the big-box stores. "If you head a few exits up, you’ll find Avalon,” says Matthew Baker, an associate broker with Berkshire Hathaway GA Properties. “It’s this huge mixed-use development with fancy restaurants and hotels, just seven or eight minutes north of Roswell.”
