Roswell’s Mountain Park Explained

November 21, 2008 by Pam Salls  

Several of my clients have asked me what the deal with Mountain Park is.  While showing property in this community, one even commented that it must be where people in the witness protection program go to live.  This comment was predicated on the fact that maps do not accurately reflect the city streets and some even reference non-existent streets. 

Before Mountain Park was incorporated in 1927, it was mostly comprised of summer cottages for Atlanta’s wealthy.  Mountain Park is an officially designated wildlife refuge, which protects all wildlife including birds, animals and reptiles.  Some are rare and live in Mountain Park either part or all of the year.
