Alpharetta ranks 19th on a list of high-income towns included in Money magazine’s Best Places.

The magazine noted that a “hometown style permeates Alpharetta, but it’s no sleepy Southern town.”

A city of nearly 50,000, Alpharetta “offers seven shopping districts, 150 restaurants, 23 hotels and a burgeoning art scene,” the magazine said, adding praise for the Big Creek Greenway.

Median family income is $117,002, and the median home price is $297,450.

Holmdel, N.J., topped the list with a median family income of $159,633.
