Bordered on three sides by Roswell and extending into Cherokee County by less than 1,000 feet, Mountain Park, GA is the smallest of North Fulton’s cities with a total area of less than a square mile and a population of only 547. Incorporated in 1927, Mountain Park was originally a summer getaway for some of Atlanta’s more elite citizens, with only three families living as permanent residents including the mayor, who ran a small shop called “The Stand.” While it has grown since then, Mountain Park remains an idyllic change of pace for the Atlanta area. The city is zoned as a wildlife refuge, and many official clubs are dedicated to maintaining its unique natural beauty, including the Watershed Preservation Society, the Mountain Park Organic community garden project, and the Green and Beautiful Program. The Arbor Day Foundation, USDA Forest Service and Association of State Foresters recently awarded the city the distinction of Tree City USA, which recognizes urban and community forestry programs across the US. If you want the jobs of the Atlanta area but the peace and quiet of a lakeside cabin, Mountain Park is an ideal spot, but hurry – at the time of this writing, there are only 10 houses for sale!
