Milton County’s old seat
From Crossroads Town to North Fulton Hub
Alpharetta was chartered under that name in 1858 and served as the seat of Milton County until 1931, when Milton was folded into Fulton County. The old downtown is still there, now joined by Alpharetta City Center, where City Hall sits alongside shops, offices and apartments.
Avalon opened in 2014 as an 86-acre mix of homes, restaurants and shops. For time outdoors, the Big Creek Greenway runs through the city and Wills Park is home to the Alpharetta Arboretum.
If your house has strong lines worth showing off, such as a stone entry, deep eaves or tall gables, a Gemstone system can work as architectural lighting first and holiday lights second. The Residential Track Lights page explains how the same track does both.
Everyday first
Quiet Warm White, 365 Nights a Year
The setting most people leave on is not a Christmas pattern at all. It is a soft warm white, somewhere between 2800K and 3000K, that outlines the house like good landscape lighting would. Because each light has its own warm-white diode, that glow looks natural on brick, stucco and painted siding.
From there you can pick out details. Brighten the lights over the entry, dim the back of the house, or set a slightly cooler tone over the garage. Hosting friends before a summer show at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre? Keep the entry and patio side bright until everyone heads out.
When the holidays arrive, the same lights take on color with a tap. A warm white base with red accents over the front door suits a classic brick elevation, while a slow white twinkle looks sharp on a modern one. In January everything returns to the everyday setting, and nobody has to climb a ladder to make that happen.

Alpharetta FAQ
Yes. Alpharetta and Johns Creek make up the North Fulton part of our map, alongside Gwinnett and Forsyth counties. Homes just over the line in Forsyth that use an Alpharetta address are covered too.
Yes. A steady warm white at moderate brightness reads as architectural lighting. You save the color for holidays, or let Autopilot handle that on a calendar.
Each quote is built from your own roofline: how many linear feet you want lit, how high the eaves are, and how many peaks and turns the track has to make. There is no charge to get one through our quote page.
They connect to Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control and routines, and the app runs over Wi-Fi or mobile data. See Smart Home Integration for details.
Yes. Gemstone forms several track profiles in-house, so there is an option for most soffit and fascia shapes, including the crisp, flat edges common on contemporary designs. The track is color-matched so it disappears against the trim.
Yes. You can start with the street-facing side and add the rear rooflines, a patio or flood lights later. Everything joins the same controller and app.
