Where it is

Milton Lakes covers about 1,089 acres in what the plan calls “the southernmost portion of the City, bordering the Deerfield character area and the City of Alpharetta.” Central Milton is to the north, Bethany and Deerfield to the east, and Alpharetta to the south. Cogburn Road, Hopewell Road and Providence Road are its main roads.

The plan says lot sizes run from low- to medium-density, that the area’s access to sewer “suggest[s] it may experience higher density development pressure,” and that its main use should remain residential, with higher-density apartments kept to a minimum.

Of the area’s 667 residential address points in the city’s map data, 77% are in ZIP code 30004 and 23% in 30009. All are single structures. The city’s neighborhoods layer lists 12 developments, among them Brookshade, the largest at 138 homes, Providence Oaks, The Hermitage and Hopewell Plantation.

Schools

Share of the area’s residential addresses in each zone, from the district’s 2025-26 zone map, with 2025 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores from the state’s School Grades report. State averages were 78.6 for elementary, 78.4 for middle and 76.9 for high schools.

Cambridge High, 2845 Bethany Bend, had 1,652 students in the federal 2023-24 count; Hopewell Middle, 13060 Cogburn Road, had 1,196; and Cogburn Woods Elementary, 13080 Cogburn Road, had 795. The elementary zone is split, so check the exact address; maps for every school are on the district’s attendance zones page.

Home values

The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, not a sale price, and both ZIP codes stretch into Alpharetta. Zillow’s citywide Milton figure was $946,504, up 2.83% on the year.

Parks and trails

• Providence Park, 13440 Providence Park Drive, from the city’s parks and facilities page: walking trails. The plan describes a 42-acre passive park with ADA trails, fishing piers and restrooms, and says the old rock quarry there should remain a natural feature.

The city’s trails layer maps about 1.2 miles of the Providence Park trails. Bell Memorial Park is north in Central Milton. More things to do are in our weekend guide.
