Report: Roswell Named 10th Most Exciting Place in Georgia

A blog has listed Roswell as the 10th most exciting place in Georgia.

Movoto Real Estate blog compiled the listing, which was based upon information such as nightlife per capital, live music venues per capital, active life options per capita, arts and entertainment offerings, fast food restaurants (the fewer, the better), percentages of restaurant that aren’t fast food, percentage of residents between 18 and 34 and population density.

The blog then ranked each place with a score from one to 50 in each of the criteria.

The top 10 list is as follows:

1. Brookhaven
2. Atlanta
3. Marietta
4. Duluth
5. Kennesaw
6. Savannah
7. Decatur
8. Statesboro
9. Athens-Clarke County
10. Roswell

While Roswell did not have an impressive compilation of young people — only 20.45 percent of residents are between the ages of 18 and 34 — Movoto notes the city makes up for it with its wide variety of restaurants.

“Simply put, this is the place to be for foodies,” the blog states. “Not only did Roswell rank well for a lack of boring food (i.e., fast food), it also ranked eighth in the category of non-fast food restaurants per capita.”

Notable restaurants include Table & Main, Brookwood Grill, Little Alley Steak and the Salt Factory.
