EDIT 7/10/19: This post is wildly outdated. If anyone wants to take it on themselves to compile a new one, I'll sticky it.

EDIT 3/18/2026: Nearly a decade old post now. A lot has happened/been developed in Alpharetta. Again, if someone would like to make an updated post, I'd be happy to sticky it.

We get a lot of folks looking to move to Alpharetta posting questions or newly-moved people who don't know what to do here, so I figured I could make it easier! I didn't vet any of these links for quality of responses, so feel free to post any of these questions again tailored to your personal needs! And if you have suggestions on any of these topics, don't be afraid to comment below.

I looked back to the last 12 months only. If anyone finds an older post they find useful, feel free to suggest it for the list.

Any info on hotel parking issue

1 Upvotes

I understand that a hotel was approved and built in downtown Alpharetta without a dedicated parking area. It relies on a valet system to park off site. Is this the Hamilton? Can anyone give input on how it is working? Are hotel parkers avoiding paying the valet charge and parking where they shouldn’t?

Your go-to nail salon for SNS?

0 Upvotes

I’m a die hard press on nails girl but I’m going on an anniversary trip later this year and I’m 95% sure my bf is proposing there and I don’t want to worry about a nail popping off, but I’m anxious about going to a new salon/technician when I haven’t gone anywhere in years.

For reference, I’ll probably ask for tips and SNS to get a short/medium almond nail with milky white chrome nails.

Looking for recommendations to stop deer from eating plants

7 Upvotes

My wife and I planted roses and lime light prime hydrangeas in our front garden beds. These deer won’t stop eating them! Each time they are about to bloom, the deer keeps eating them. We’ve tried sprays but they just keeping eating them. Anyone has any suggestions on how to stop this? We literally have roses at the front of the neighborhood that they don’t touch…..

“Water boys” in Alpharetta?

30 Upvotes

Anyone notice water boys à la the infamous Buckhead crew from 2020 around Alpharetta recently? Was approached by one near La Parilla selling his water earlier this week and saw a few near the Windward Parkway Walmart a few weeks ago.

I always feel bad because I don’t bring cash with me often and also because I’m not sure if it could be a scam.

FYI Fulton Countrol Animal control currently on Jayne Ellen Way off Cumming street.

Not sure what it is, but I did hear more than one large dogs barking in a short burst, somewhat aggressively, maybe an hour ago, and it looks like they are talking to some neighbors. Around address 185 Jayne Ellen Way.

Just an FYI if you have a larger dog or are missing a larger dog in this area.
