good airport to fly into north of Atlanta?
I have friends in Alpharetta. I'm thinking of flying down to visit them this weekend. Can anyone tell me what the best airport is for GA use near Alpharetta? I do not want to pay high user/landing/tie-down fees.
thanks,

Probably Gwinnett County KLZU. I usually fly into PDK but they are expensive. I also like Cobb County KRYY.

McCollum airport is probably the best. Very friendly, and they even have self-serve fuel. KRYY
When I commute to work (my office is in Alpharetta) I use PDK. But they are very expensive, over $5.50 per gallon for 100ll.

Alpharetta is in the middle of a triangle formed by LZU, PDK, and Gainesville (GVL?). A small airport - Mathis - is maybe a little closer. It's a small one at 1800 feet, and I'm not sure about services (maybe fuel, but prob hard to find a rental car)
I'd probably fly to LZU if I were going to Alpharetta - which, thankfully, I am not.
