Milton, Georgia, was once a quiet mill town with miles of sprawling farms and more horses than people. But over the past few decades, Atlanta urbanites have fled the city, seeking a quieter life that still boasts all the conveniences of city living. As a result, Milton has grown into a thriving region all its own, with plenty of unique restaurants and boutiques, all while maintaining the friendly spirit, low crime, and verdant pastures of its past. You don’t have to spend your Milton retirement riding horses or tending a garden if you prefer the faster pace of city life. The Crabapple Market has breathed new life into Milton, and is everyone’s favorite destination for brunch, shopping, and more.
The Crabapple Mall embodies Milton’s vision of a welcoming work, live, play space where there’s truly something for everyone. It features mom-and-pop small businesses, a vast range of services, restaurants to suit every culinary preference, and sprawling greenspace. You could easily spend a day here — and then come back every weekend thereafter, and still not see it all. It’s a great destination for intergenerational families, hard-to-please kids, dedicated shopaholics, and mall walkers who want a change of pace and scenery.
