Uptown is the north end of Roswell’s Georgia 9 corridor, from Mansell Road up past Hembree Road to the Alpharetta line. The city’s 2045 plan makes it one of five Activity Centers and calls it “the City’s primary job center,” with offices, light industry, car dealerships and Wellstar North Fulton Hospital. Homes sit between them, from subdivisions off Hembree and Elkins Roads to apartment and townhome communities.

Where it is

The plan’s Uptown Activity Center map (page 154) runs from Mansell Road on the south, across Hembree Road, to the city limit on the north, with Georgia 9 on the west side and Old Roswell Road on the east. It has three parts:

• Mansell, the offices on the north side of Mansell Road, which the plan treats as the main redevelopment site. It names the former GM Innovation Center, 1035 Sun Valley Drive, and the Mansell Overlook offices on Colonial Center Parkway, about 90 acres in all.
• Highway 9, which the plan says will “continue to function as an automotive and commercial corridor” and grow its health care uses.
• Employment Center, the industrial and office parks east of Georgia 9 that the plan calls the city’s “primary jobs cluster.”

This page also covers the subdivisions zoned with it east of Georgia 9 and north of Mansell Road. Of the 3,072 Roswell address points in the area in the Fulton County Schools map data, 89% are in ZIP code 30076 and 11% in 30009, an Alpharetta ZIP code. About 32% carry a unit number, which marks apartments, condominiums and townhomes.
