Alpharetta

Acclaimed as the Technology City of the South, Alpharetta has a good reason to boast the title. Measured by land and water, Alpharetta captures only 27.3 square miles; but, in preparation for tomorrow's leaders and graduates, Alpharetta outdistances the competition, with prominent names in technical education proving their worth: DeVry University, Emory Continuing Education, Georgia Perimeter College, Georgia State University, Gwinnett Technical College. Consistently voted as one of the best American cities in which to live, Alpharetta's unemployment rate is lower than the national average. In this well-educated city, almost 65% of the population has at least a Bachelor's Degree.
