Parkland Galore: The City of Roswell is home to 13 parks, which cover more than 900 acres. It has also been ranked one of the safest cities in the United States. The homes in this area offer a selection of both historic and modern single-family houses and apartments, offering something for every prospective resident.
Roswell officially became a city in 1854, though it was founded by Roswell King in 1839. King established the Roswell Manufacturing Company in this area in the early 1830s and built a mill to harness the power of the local rivers to make textiles. It is now Georgia’s eighth-largest city, and has been chosen twice by Atlanta Magazine as the best place to live in the Metro Atlanta area.
