Experience Roswell’s Magnolia Walk

Within a short walking distance to Historic Roswell’s shops and restaurants, is lovely Magnolia Walk.  This small, quiet community has just 52 houses.  Built in the late 1990’s by Ryland, the homes in Magnolia Walk are mostly traditional architecture.  

Prices in Magnolia Walk range from high $200,000’s for a home on a slab to mid $300,000’s for a home on a basement.   There were 3 sales last year in 2009.  Two homes on slabs sold for an average of $275,000. The other home was on a finished basement and sold for $330,000 in 17 days.  The seller received 99% of their asking price.

Historical Markers at Chattahoochee River Park

Ever wonder what the two State of Georgia historical markers are on the running trail by the Chattahoochee River Park in Roswell?

Brigadier General Kenner Garrard commanded the 2nd U.S. Cavalry Division that invaded Roswell on July 5, 1864 and burned the mills.  They marched about 400 factory workers, mostly woman and children, to Marietta where they were loaded on cattle cars and shipped to northern states.  Garrard’s historical marker signifies the spot where Garrard’s Union Cavalry waded the Chattahoochee River in face of opposition from the south side.  The Roswell bridge had been previously destroyed by the retreating Confederates.  Some of Garrard’s soldiers, as many as 36,000 at times, stayed in the Roswell area.  They took to camping on the grounds of beautiful Roswell homes until September of that year.
